Sleep & Performance Lecture with Dr. Chris Herrera - Saturday, July 30, 2011 from 3:30-4:30 pm

Do you want to maximize your performance potential and maintain optimal health?  We all know the benefits of a healthy diet and daily exercise like Crossfit but what about the other third of our daily lives - our sleep!  Join us at CrossFit Calgary with special guest lecturer Christopher P. Herrera, PhD for this exclusive opportunity to learn the basic science about sleep and how poor sleep impacts our metabolism, stress levels, and may even limit fat loss.
