"...you owe it to yourself and the millions of lives that generated yours to live as though you appreciated it." - Rip
At CrossFit we focus on function over form. I have said many times that CrossFit will get you the best body genetically possible. I don't track your weight or measurements, I only keep track of how much you lift and how fast you can do it. We have all been blessed...yes I said blessed....with a set of genes lovingly passed down to us from our ancestors. It is our responsiblity to take those genes and make them the best they can be. So let's all stop feeling bad that we don't have the "perfect" body that the media keeps trying to tell us we need to have and focus on creating the one we are supposed to have. Let's live and eat and exercise as though we appreciate it.
A little shout out to my daughter Emily who got her motorcycle license yesterday and rode her bike to school today....how cool is that? Not necessarily fitness related.....but an example of living life like you appreciate it, of setting a goal and achieving it, of doing something a little bit extrordinary! She set that goal last fall when her father got his and she pursued it with a vengance....practicing every time she got a chance, ignoring those who thought a 17 year old girl shouldn't/couldn't ride a bike. Are we a little bit worried....of course....but we are also very proud of her!
