Ep. 103: "CrossFit" - It's Just A Word.
Welcome back!
It's true. CrossFit is a word. That's it. Before that word was invented, a thruster was just a squat to press. A clean was a clean. A burpee was a burpee. A muscle up was a muscle up. Now, because a word was invented, all those MVMNTs are shoved into the umbrella of "CrossFit" and it shouldn't be that way!
If you're a die-hard CrossFitter listening to this episode then try to open your mind and hear our hearts. We get a little firey because we are so passionate about health and fitness, but know we're coming from a good place! We love the sport of CrossFit. We still compete in it and have an absolute BLAST! However, is it REALLY for everyone? Do you really think everyone should be doing handstand push-ups? Do you think everyone should do barbell snatches? Is there added benefits to a handstand push-up that you can't get with an overhead press? The answer to all of those questions (in our opinions) is absolutely not.
Those are all cool and fun to do, but they are 100% not necessary for fitness and in this episode we talk about our stance on CrossFit from all angles.
Again, try to put your biases aside. If you're an anti CrossFitter then this episode is for you too because we also talk about why we love the sport and why people who have never done it have no business bashing it!
Our bottom line - it doesn't matter what style of fitness you do. The most important aspects of training you should be working on no matter what kind of workouts you do are: Lift weights, do cardio, do mobility, and make sure you're doing those things with proper technique. If you're hitting all of those major points then forget what anyone else has to say!
Listen in to this fun episode and let us know what y'all think!
