Hello and welcome to another episode of Chasing Excellence. My name is Patrick Cummings

and as always I'm here with Ben Bergeron every week on the show. We dedicate some time to

exploring how we can live a life of better health and increased fulfillment. We answer your

questions about the five factors of health that have deep on living a life of excellence

and explore the strategies and frameworks to help us chase what truly matters. Thank you

so much for joining us, how the heck are you Ben? We're doing great. Thank you, Patrick.

Let's get back into it. We've got this week. We've got listener questions about F-45 versus

CrossFit, eating white rice, whim Hof, breathing and leadership. Our workout this week is going

to be a conversation about trusting the process and our cool down to wrap up the show. It's

going to be a quick chat about some recent criticism from a listener that I wanted to get

your thoughts on. Cool. First thing first, our warm up. We start each episode. We had listener

questions about the five factors of health. Those few fundamental behaviors that most positively

affect our performance, vitality and longevity for those folks who might be new, those five

factors are how we eat, how we move, how we think, how we connect and how we recover.

Are you ready, sir? Let's do it. Move category first. This question is from Mitch. I used

to go to a CrossFit box, but recently moved and so joined at an F-45 that is closer to

my place. I'm wondering your thoughts on F-45 versus CrossFit so far. I find that

F-45 is not as measurable. Because of this, I can't push myself to the extent that I

did at CrossFit, but curious your thoughts. How well-known is F-45? I think it's really

like, do we have to explain it? I guess the better question is.

Well, if we have to explain it, we're going to come up short. As a concept, as a thing,

I think it's fairly well-known. There's CrossFit, there's Orange Theory and there's F-45.
