The Healthy Part

What Does it take to get to the Right side the the Fitness Continuum. I talk allot to my one on one clients about that. Fitness is on the opposite end of the spectrum of Sickness. Therefore it is absolutely impossible to be both Sick and Fit at the Same time. The problem for most people is that they are never really committed to staying on the Fitness side so usually they are hovering somewhere in between which is the area we know as wellness. From a fitness perspective, I like to describe that area as mediocrity. If you are going to take interest in your health, why not get to the right side of the spectrum. My man Jevon posted a few weeks back about what is Fitness in 100 words. I recommend you read it! Also the Crossfit Nutrition Guru Robb Wolf is well studied in all the truth behind what people need to do and have done for the last several centuries when it comes to avoiding sickness in whole. I simply want you to understand what sickness is and that is this (high cholesterol, high blood sugar, obesity, low bone density and muscle mass, all disease). Sickness as a whole is what we are setting out to destroy. Staying away from Doctors and the dramatic amount of nonsense that they preach is a primary objective. Crossfit, the Zone Diet, Paleo eating habits are undoubtedly a great way to to contribute to busting these issues out of our countries face. Starting with you, we are out to change the world. If you wonder at all what you can do to help yourself, this is it!

Fitness... What does that really mean?

Crossfit is the first Fitness program to give and actual definition of Fitness. That may seem hard to believe considering the word Fit has been used so many times by so many people in so many communities over the past several years. Crossfitters believe that this word has been used loosely and should be re-evaluated before using it. If you've yet to read the CF Journal on this topic please do. (What is Fitness - CF Journal #1) This will explain more about Fitness than you ever considered before.
My main reason for this post is because Crossfit in the safest and most efficient way to workout. For many outsiders it looks "Crazy", "Dangerous", "Stupid", and "Overboard." These peoples opinions are based only on the fact that they are outsiders and have not a clue what it is that we are actually doing. That's all well and good as far as I'm concerned, but I cannot let an outsiders opinion affect the opinion of anyone who is actually reading this blog right now.
In our workouts there is nothing more important than moving our bodies in a mechanically correct way. In our workouts, there is nothing more important than the speed in which we push ourselves to get the work we are doing finished. In our workouts there is nothing more important than a solid foundation of nutrition to enable us to perform. In CrossFit we do everything the right way every time to be the best we can be.
Strength, Speed, Power, Endurance, Flexibility, Stamina, Agility, Balance, Flexibility, and Accuracy are all earned not given.
The most absolute reason I do Crossfit is because I want to be 100 prepared for whatever life can throw my way. I also know that by living this way all the time, I will never have to live my life Sick, Decrepit and unable.
