And treat it different now. I think it has to be viewed like that. You know, like it's okay to treat it different because it is different. It's like, I think we talked about this the other day, it's like two-hand touch versus pro football. You guys can go play two-hand touch at Thanksgiving

and have a lot of fun.

But the second that you're trying to make it to the pros

that might not be fun anymore. This is episode number 60 of pursuing health with Chris Spielberg.

Welcome to Pursuing Health. I'm Julie Fushe, Family Medicine resident and former

Cross-Vit Games athlete. Here I bring to you information and inspiration from experts and everyday

individuals for how to use lifestyle to maximize health. Thank you so much for

joining me. Now let's get started with this week's episode. Hey there, welcome back to Pursuing Health.

The Cross Fit Games are now just around the corner and to celebrate, I'll be doubling up on

podcast episodes until that time. This week we have two

cross-fit legends in episode 59 and 60 with Annie Sakamoto and Chris Buehler.

In this episode I sit down with Chris at Power Monkey Camp in Tennessee a few weeks ago.

We had a great conversation about his evolution as an athlete, a trainer, and an affiliate

owner over the past 10 plus years in Cross Fit.

A little bit of background about Chris before we get started.

He found Cross Fit after his Division I College Wrestling Career

and was quickly attracted to the competitive side of Crossfoot.

He's competed in the CrossFit game seven times since 2007 and has had three top ten finishes to his name in 2007, 8, and 10. He was also awarded the

spirit of the games in 2010. After his performance in 2014, Chris made the decision to retire from competition and instead

trained for life. But with the introduction of the Masters 35 to 39 age group category this season,

he's recently made the announcement that he'll find himself

once again on the competition floor in Madison.
