CrossFit is a training system, a workout style, and a “lifestyle”. I’ve started doing CrossFit and have really fallen in love with it. I want to share CrossFit with you and give you a better idea of what it is. Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little start and no sugar. KeepContinue reading “What is CrossFit?”

Why CrossFit Works: The Diet
I’ve followed many workout plans over the years. Most of which I’ve found online. However, I would get minimal (if any) results.

However, I knewContinue reading “Why CrossFit Works: The Diet”
Starting CrossFit
Hello Everyone! It’s been forever since I’ve posted here. Although I typically stick to topics related to my work in digital marketing, I wanted to talk about something else: CrossFit. I took my first trip to a CrossFit gym near my house back in February (pre-quarantine). I’ll share a little bit about what I’ve learnedContinue reading “Starting CrossFit”
