Summary

This week, we discuss making strategic long-term decisions, embracing challenges, and prioritizing long-term goals. We emphasize the importance of structuring a training plan that prioritizes function and progress without causing injury, as well as the benefits of functional movements in CrossFit for maintaining strength and mobility as we age. Additionally, we’re talking about the challenges of being an affiliate owner and parenting.

Expect to learn:

The optimal training schedule for most people.
Why we focus on functionality and longevity, rather than just looking good on the beach or bodybuilding.
How to recognize our own triggers and take responsibility for our reactions to communicate with our kids better.
