aspects to what some call the CrossFit subculture. They speak a unique language consisting of long acronyms like AMRAP, HSPU, PRs, and OHS scrawled

workouts have names like Fran or Helen or Filthy Fifty. Many members subscribe to the principles of a Paleolithic Diet, which consists of consuming only lean


meats,


unprocessed foods, and


vegetables


with no sugar and very few carbohydrates. The bar to get started is actually rather low. The programming can be scaled to anyone’s


current


fitness level or age. And because the movements are functional, they


improve your ability


to perform in everyday life, whether you’re a competitive athlete, stay-at-home mom, or retiree. While the physical benefits are easily recognizable,

signals, “I care about my life.” Those are principles that I


get to carry forward into the real world, where life unfolds without our permission. What I’ve come to recognize is that all of the relationships in my life benefit from the friendships I make and the work I do in that box. I’m more focused and energetic with my children. I have genuine empathy and an open mind. I am determined and engaged in everyday life. I am getting stronger. And, in the process I seem to be putting a little more distance in the rearview mirror between the man that I see now and the scared little fat kid they called Piggy.
