“For OC7, I’ll share recipes that taste good and that satisfy your hunger,” she asserts. She is working toward her Precision Nutrition Level 1 certification, yet Laferrara will never prescribe an ultra-specific meal plan for such a wide, diverse audience. There’s no such thing as good food or bad food, and I hate the term ‘cheat meal.’” “My philosophy is to eat what makes you feel good,” she says. If you stick with it, you will absolutely see improvements.” Never Go Hungry And I do love me some box jumps and ladder drills. “There is some HIIT, Tabata and cardio extras, as well. “You’ll do lot of supersets, AMRAPs, straight sets and strength-based training,” she says. Laferrara offers modifications and adjustments for all her exercises so everyone is included. And I want you to take all the stabilizing and strengthening you do in your workouts and to your posture when you sit in a chair behind your desk all day.” “I want you to feel like a badass bringing in all the groceries in one swoop. “This program is for improving performance, but it’s also for increasing your confidence during the other 23 hours of the day,” she says. Laferrara’s OC7 workouts focus on real-world (as well as aesthetic) applications.

Laferrara attended every session she could, and when they moved the class indoors to a studio, she followed. “I turned her down several times but finally said yes, and it was the best decision I ever made,” she says. “I actually ran three marathons … and didn’t like doing any of them.”īut fate intervened in the form of a persistent friend who kept inviting Laferrara to a boot-camp class in the park. “I tried long-distance running because that’s all I thought I could do,” she says. Laferrara knew she had to do something to reclaim her fitness, so she put her running shoes back on and hit the pavement. She topped it off with a little junk food here and some beer there, and before she knew it, she had gained 20 pounds. Laferrara lost her training mojo and instead adopted a sedentary lifestyle. Once she got to college, the teams that had held her accountable and pushed her to excel were gone.

“All I knew was how to run fast and turn left.” “I was on team starting at age 10 onward and strictly competed in track for six years,” Laferrara recalls.

This year, there is no choosing necessary - both coaches are available to all Challenge participants, which means that everyone has twice the opportunity to get stronger, leaner, more mobile and healthier than ever. But this year, we all desperately need each other in ways we never thought we would. In our seven-year history with the Challenge, we’ve asked you to choose one coach or another, one team or another, one “side” or another. Well, here’s yours, Oxy sisters: It’s time to exhale that breath you’ve been holding so long (and probably didn’t even know you were) because The Oxygen Challenge 7 is here. It’s been hard - really hard - and we all need a break.

People have been required to shrink their personal and professional lives and to exist within the confines of their homes, home offices and immediate families. No need for details, obviously, but due to unforeseeable events, the world has become compartmentalized. It’s safe to say that the last year has been insane.
