You’re never too old to start your fitness journey and in fact as we age it' becomes even more important that we make fitness a priority. You can continue to be fit, healthy, and even gain strength after 50. These are men and women who have made fitness a priority for themselves as they age. They happen to also be some of the fittest people at their age. Here’s what some had to say:

CrossFit’s style brings something different and [sometimes] exciting each day. It becomes hard to say “no” because we have FOMO – almost all workouts look fun! CrossFitters are crazy like that. This higher level of intensity requires us to be even more diligent than most in taking rest days in order to recover and allow our muscles to repair themselves.

I’d like to tell a little story, and try to condense several weeks into a short story. The start of the new year was a rough one for me. As a younger, healthy, fit person you likely didn’t give COVID too much thought other than needing to wear a mask in public and try to protect those you know considered high-risk. You probably felt the risk to yourself is quite low.

We’re well into the Holiday season filled with big, tasty meals and sugary treats but it’s not over yet. I hear you and I’m with you. I, too, will be indulging in the big feasts and eat the pies and cookies, but why wait until New Year’s to start healthier eating? You can still enjoy this time of year, and other special occasions, while eating for a healthier you.

If calories in is less than calories out that equals weight loss, right? Yes, and no. The math looks simple but what if I told you there’s more to the equation? There are some important facts that are often misunderstood.

If you ask different CrossFitters what is CF you’ll likely get several different answers. It goes beyond the dictionary definition of constantly varied functional movements performed at [relative] high intensity. It’s about the Workouts. It’s about the Lifestyle. It’s about the Community. All of this combined is what makes CF so special and the reason its exploded in popularity over the last 7 or so years.

No matter what fitness program you follow, hopefully CrossFit :) the workouts will only get you so far. As the saying goes “abs are made in the kitchen.” So what’s the secret to getting abs? A sustainable, healthy diet. Sustainable “diet” solutions should last a lifetime – not 7 or 30 days.
