Because times are changing and rapidly, to me more adaptable mentally and physically is essential. In this episode I am sharing about how Crossfit will help you develop a level of strength, adaptability and resilience that will benefit your overall success in these changing times. What I have discovered in practicing Crossfit is how the sport makes you more adaptable because of the variety of simple and complex, functional movements. They give you a feeling of self confidence, empowering you to handle any new situation in life. And over time, the workouts in their unique combination creates an incredible physique and one that is very functional for the benefit of everyday life.

Crossfit workouts consist of different movements derived from different sports. Things like heavy compound, olympic style exercise, combined with gymnastics, and track and field that challenge our strength, endurance, metabolic threshold etc. and they are fun. You could be doing power snatches for reps then go immediately to doing sprint intervals with ring dips for example, all for time which triggers different muscle fibre types, creating new muscle development. The workouts are most often held in a gym where the workouts of the day are laid out and lead by a qualified instructor. And unlike planning your workouts and knowing ahead of time what you will be working on, you show up knowing very little of what's in store, so theres little time to prepare. This keeps you on the edge and engaged with the unpredictability.

Crossfit is not all intended to kill you but to drive you beyond what you perceive you can handle. And when you go through it with a group of people who support and challenge you through it, you develop a level of strength, resiliency and most certainly, adaptability, but also community. You feel a sense of belonging, which is most certainly important in today's day in age!
