Coach Buffy and Coach Whit discuss the reason behind CrossFit standards and why they are so important. Standard is defines as something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality. If you've been around CrossFit, then you are probably aware that there are a specific set of standards for each movement. During a CrossFit class, the coach will go over the standards for the movements in the workout along with a warmup. This ensures the athletes know what's expected of them. However, some members will choose to ignore the standards so they can get through the movements as quickly as possible. However, there are several different reasons why standards are important as discussed in this podcast.Learn More: https://liveactiveclt.com/

Every beginner in CrossFit hears the word scale. Scaling basically means that you change the intensity of the workout to your fitness level.

We discuss who should do it, why you should do it and how to go about it.

Setting Healthy Expectations.

The holidays are one of our favorite times to eat. Delicious food seems to surround us at every turn. It can be easy to overindulge in our favorite treats.

Fixed vs. Growth: The Two Basic Mindsets That Shape Our Lives

On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. In other words, if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you two months + to build a new behavior into your life. Embracing longer timelines can help us realize that habits are a process and not an event. All of the 14 day detoxes or 7 minute abs hype can make it really easy to think, “Oh, I'll just do this and it'll be done.” But habits never work that way. You have to embrace the process. You have to commit to the system.

The start of the year is the perfect time to turn a new page, which is probably why so many people create New Year's Resolutions.

Of course, resolutions are much easier to make than to keep and by the middle of the year many of us have abandoned our resolve and settled back into our old patterns. We share some tips and secrets to help you achieve those goals!
