My mission is to empower others, ignite inspiration, and always be a place where all people feel valued, encouraged and supported. I am passionate about CrossFit and a healthy lifestyle.

Most people’s day looks like this:
📱 Scroll on your phone
💻 Stare at your laptop
📺 Watch TV
📱 Scroll before bed
…And then repeat 😩

No wonder energy crashes, hormones are out of whack, and recovery suffers.

Swipe—or in this case, watch 👀—to see a daily habit routine that actually works:

🌞 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Hydrate, get sunlight, move, protein-rich breakfast
💻𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗗𝗮𝘆: Stand every hour, balanced lunch, walk after lunch, mini movement breaks, protein snack
🌙𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻: No screens 1 hr before bed, prep sleep environment, aim for 7–8 hrs, recover & build muscle

Small intentional habits = big long-term results 💪🥩🍳🥤

Want a structured plan to help you or your clients implement this?

Lynda, you have worked SO hard for this! Every single rep, every early morning, every intentional nutrition choice, every skill you tackled head-on brought you RIGHT HERE — **CrossFit Semi Finals**. The FINAL step before the CrossFit Games. At 61 years old, you are doing it at the absolute highest level and we are SCREAMING for you!! 🔥👊

What makes Lynda truly special isn't just what she does on the gym floor. It's the way she shows up for every single person in this gym, every single day. She is one of the most supportive, selfless, and genuinely rare human beings we have ever had the privilege of calling a CUU athlete. 💛

Lynda, you are a diamond. Absolutely one of a kind. We are SO incredibly proud of you and we cannot WAIT to watch you take the Semi Finals stage May 7-11!! 🙌

Confused by nutrition labels? 👀
**WE GET IT**

Understanding the Nutrition Facts panel + ingredients list helps you make smarter food choices for your goals.

Here’s a simple breakdown of what to look for:

📦 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗶𝘇𝗲
Always start here. All numbers on the label are based on this amount — not the entire package.

📊 % 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲
Shows how much a nutrient in one serving contributes to your daily intake.
• 5% DV or less = low
• 20% DV or more = high

🔥 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀
Focus on where the calories come from — ideally from nutrient-dense ingredients that support your goals.

🥑 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝘀
Pay attention to fat quality in the ingredients list.
Limit saturated fat and minimize trans fat.

❤️ 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗹
Aim for less than 300 mg per day.
Use the %DV guide above to evaluate quickly.

🧂 𝗦𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺
Limit to less than 2,300 mg per day (adults).
Ideally, choose foods with less than 140 mg per serving when possible.

🍞 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀
Look at this number in relation to ingredients.
Daily Value = 275g per day.
Generally makes up 45–65% of total calories, depending on individual needs.

🌾 𝗙𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿
Aim for:
• 25–38g per day
• ~5g per serving is considered a high-fiber food

🍯 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘀
Includes naturally occurring sugars + added sugars.
Lower is better — especially when added sugars are high.

➕ 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘀
One of the most important things to check.
Choose options with little to no added sugars.

💪 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻
Helps keep you fuller longer.
• 5g or less = low
• 10–19g = moderate
• 20g+ = high protein

Addison is the kind of athlete who makes the 5:15am class feel like exactly where you're supposed to be. Rain, cold, or knee-deep snowbanks 😉— he shows up, and he shows up consistently. What sets Addison apart isn't just his dedication though, it's his mindset. He's smart about scaling, knows his body, and understands that the long game is the only game worth playing 💪
Over time we've watched him settle into the morning crew and become a permanent, admired fixture in that group — his quiet strength and steady presence lifting everyone around him without even trying. He came in with his head down and his work ethic high, and somewhere along the way found not just fitness, but his people. Addison, watching you grow — in strength, in confidence, and in the teamwork you bring to every class — is exactly why we do what we do. We're grateful you're here. 🖤

🏆 CrossFit QUARTERFINALS COMPLETE! 🏆

We are SO proud of our two CrossFit Underdog Union athletes — Coach Amy (45-49) and Lynda (60-64) — who just finished competing in the 2026 CrossFit Quarterfinals! These two women showed up, did the work, and tackled weights and movements they didn't think were possible. That's the Underdog way. Age is not a barrier — it's just a number — and these ladies proved it in the most badass way. 💪

None of this happens alone though. Behind every rep, every lift, and every movement standard was an incredible community of athletes, coaches, and judges who showed up and made it possible. That's what makes CUU special — we don't just cheer from the sidelines, we get in the trenches together. From the barbell to the rig, Amy and Lynda left it ALL on the floor — and this whole community carried them there. 🖤

CUU is lucky to have athletes AND a community like you. We couldn't be more proud of everyone involved. This is what Underdog Union is all about.
