CrossFit, Spinning, Yoga, Body Building, or Zumba, whatever it is that you choose to be your sport of choice is solely your decision. Putting down, and or criticizing what you don’t prefer= no bueno! The point is you got off that rump of yours from holding down the couch and channel surfing (or playing candy crush ;) I have had this debate a few times recently. I have listened to avid body builders put down and seriously question CrossFit, and vice versa-crossfitters criticize, and yet again seriously question different types of exercise. (Forgive me for saying) these stubborn and narrow-minded opinions about either being the ONLY form of effective exercise are simply untrue.  I am a proud CrossFit athlete, and feel extremely passionate about the sport; however, I am also a personal trainer, who believes very much in all activities, big, small, heavy, light, calm, or intense. You can, and will be fit and healthy by consistently staying active and eating clean. For some people CrossFit can be intimidating, training with a large group of people alone can scare many off the sport.  While for others, it’s the only thing that gets them motivated and inspired to workout.  Enjoyment is the key, finding happiness and excitement for exercise. Whatever it is the fuels that fire inside you…when you find that passion… keep it, use it, and pass no judgment onto any other form of exercise. Applaud those who are out there fighting for a healthier lifestyle. Praise them for trying something new and different.  If you can, I encourage you to try it all! Why not be a bad-ass crossfitter throwing heavy weights, climbing ropes, jumping on and off boxes AND at the same time be able to balance yourself, and increase your flexibility  in mind-blowing  yoga positions? When you have done that, jump in a spinning class, or try zumba, it’s ALL amazing therapy! Be the boss of it all; make yourself into a diverse human machine fit for life!
