What does it mean to be fit?

How do you stay fit? If you want to be fitter, how do you do that?What motivates you?

Maureen found a gym that has been motivating her towards building strength and getting fitter. There are many elements in it and Pierre is curious.

Maureen begins to explain Crossfit to Pierre, who starts to see the attraction of Crossfit in mind, body, and spirit training, with a work-out community supporting good each others good health.

Maureen explains that Crossfit started with the concept of cross-functional fitness, in order to enable ordinary people to be functional in everyday movements. Wow. Basic. Powerful. Especially as one looks around at today's fitness challenges.

Maureen also says that a big part of the attraction of a Crossfit gym is the community - people supporting one another on a journey to better movement and health.

Without a "why," without a community, lots of efforts to improve health fail. It's important to find a path and know yourself. What motivates you towards better health?

Pierre and Maureen discuss their motivations and differing experiences with gyms and paths towards fitness.

Maureen introduces resources and people connected to Crossfit for listeners to check out.
