The Overhead Walking Lunge may be one of the most challenging "over-looked" exercises we have in the CrossFit functional movement pool. The simplicity and efficacy of this move is AWESOME. The 2009 CrossFit Games final workout known as "The Chipper" finished with 100 feet of Overhead Walking Lunges holding a 45 pound plate overhead. This can be done with most other objects including kettlebells, dumbbells and/or an empty barbell. Take a big step forward while keeping your arms locked-out overhead and shrug your shoulders up into the ears... JOE looking strong during his 1st workout at the Brickhouse!

"Research has shown that fruits and vegetables are the only foods that have a net alkaline enhancing effect. The accompanying table demonstrates the acid and alkaline enhancing effects of various foods. The foods with a plus (+) indicate increased acidity. The greater the plus value the higher the acid effect. Those foods with a minus value decrease the acid of the body fluids in direct proportion to their magnitude. So by using fruits and juices, which have a net alkaline enhancing effect (reduced acidity) in your recovery drink you are doing more than merely replacing carbohydrate stores; you’re also potentially sparing bone and muscle."-Post Exercise Acidity
