Nutrition of the Week:
The big WHY
Often when pursuing fitness or nutrition goals, a good coach will ask you about your WHY. Why do you want to make change? For lots of us, we want to be around longer, be better partners, parents, grandparents, co-workers, etc. We’ve seen the generations before us, and we want to ensure that our future selves are in better shape to deal with the challenges that face us as we age.
CrossFit addresses the big why with the ‘Sickness, wellness, Fitness Health Continuum’.

It’s simple: the closer we can move towards fitness, the further we are from sickness-and that creates a buffer for when we do become ill, have an accident, etc. In that instance, we may only drop back to wellness if we are fit, but if we are starting out sick, the results of illness/accidents could be much more dire. This is at the heart of why we show up to the gym every day and why we strive to be better about what we eat. At the end of the day, your health is your most valuable asset.
