Jules King — Unstoppable With Parkinson’s and CrossFit CrossFit 2024-05-09 | “I won't let Parkinson's take over my life or let it stop me doing anything.”Jules King’s Parkinson’s disease was undiagnosed for 16 years before officially being diagnosed 10 years ago. She was in a wheelchair for 10 years, needed 24-hour care, and experienced excruciating pain. At times, King’s pain was so unbearable she was certain her body was giving up.But King was intent on pushing through, focusing on what she could do, not what she couldn’t. On her own accord, King walked into CrossFit Pembrokeshire and has been unstoppable as a human, a mother, and a competitive CrossFit athlete. With CrossFit and her determination, King found an accepting community at Pembrokeshire, improved her confidence, strength, and body control, and has been able to live an independent life, watching her kids grow up.“The reason I keep coming back to CrossFit is because I'm getting stronger each day, which enables me to hold my body up much easier, carry out daily tasks much easier, carry the shopping on my own, carry my cup of coffee without spilling it.”King, a neuromuscular adaptive athlete, has big plans for the 2024 competitive season — make it to the CrossFit Games. “Fingers crossed.”Learn more about CrossFit and Parkinson's disease here → crossfit.com/crossfit-and-parkinsons-disease#CrossFit #Parkinsons #Health #Fitness—CrossFit, LLC is the owner of the world-famous CrossFit® fitness brand.

Watch Nicole Christensen Coach a CrossFit Class CrossFit 2024-04-19 | One of the best ways to grow as a coach is to watch other coaches and analyze what they do throughout each section of a class. We can then incorporate what they do effectively into our own coaching. Ask any high-level coach what most helped them to develop and they will likely say they learned from watching others, asking questions, and being open to feedback.Recently, Nicole Christensen (CF-L4) traveled to Ute CrossFit to be a guest coach, and our cameras were there to capture the action.

CrossFit for Health: Future-Proof Your Brain, With Dr. Tommy Wood CrossFit 2024-04-11 | As we age, most of us tend to get a little fuzzy in the head. We become more forgetful and easily confused. The unluckiest develop Alzheimer’s or dementia. But is it inevitable?Dr. Tommy Wood doesn’t think so. “I believe age-related cognitive decline and dementia are largely preventable,” says Wood, an assistant professor at the University of Washington specializing in neuroscience and brain health.In this talk given at the CrossFit for Health Summit on Feb. 3, 2024, in Austin, Texas, Wood presents evidence for the “demand-driven theory of age-related cognitive decline and dementia.” The brain, he says, is just like muscle in its requirements for optimal functioning: it needs proper nutrition and rest, but it also needs to do work. “If you don't lift weights, then you don't get jacked,” he says. “With the brain, and most tissues in the body, their structure and function is directly proportional to the demand that you place on them.”CrossFit, Wood says — with its unique combination of varied physical and mental demands in a social environment — is a boon for fighting age-related cognitive decline. “Is it that our function declines over time? Or is it that we just use our brains less over time and then function follows?” he asks. “And … can we change this trajectory with something like CrossFit? I think we can.”CHAPTERS 0:00-1:46 - Introduction and overview. 1:48-3:26 - The trajectory of cognitive decline. 3:38-6:01 - Risk factors for cognitive decline. 6:02-8:21 - Preventing cognitive decline: the demand-driven theory of age-related cognitive decline and dementia (or why your brain is like your biceps).8:22-9:42 - For increased cognitive function, challenge your brain.9:45-11:25 - Risk and lifestyle factors that affect cognitive function. 11:28-14:07 - Like the muscles, the brain is trainable and adaptive.14:09-15:29 - To maintain function, the brain requires ongoing stimulation.15:38-18:18 - Reduced glucose intake in the brain: a problem of availability or demand? 18:20-19:03 - Three critical variables to improve the trajectory of cognitive function. 19:05-20:30 - Typical cognitive demand across a lifespan.20:40-21:39 - Can CrossFit change the trajectory of cognitive decline? 21:40-26:14 - The connections between exercise, cognitive function, and emotional resilience.26:17-29:34 - Coordinative vs. unimodal exercise and cognitive function.29:36-31:39 - Aerobic fitness and brain plasticity.31:14-33:53 - Changes in the brain caused by social isolation.33:55-37:04 - How CrossFit supports long-term cognitive function and prevents decline.—CrossFit, LLC is the owner of the world-famous CrossFit® fitness brand.

CrossFit for Health: The Relationship Between Connection, CrossFit, and Health CrossFit 2024-04-10 | Rates of addiction, mental illness, homelessness, violence, and more are higher than ever. The Phoenix — a sober, active community “revolutionizing how people take control of their own lives and their health” — partners with CrossFit gyms around the country to address those challenges. “Fueling resilience and building a community helps support sobriety and recovery so that Phoenix members can rise, recover, and live,” says Dr. Meg Patterson. “Phoenix activities like CrossFit not only help change our members’ lives, but they also help strengthen the connections between them and the community that results.”CrossFit classes at gyms partnering with The Phoenix are free and open to anyone who has been free from all non-prescription substances for at least 48 hours. “There's incredible synergy between the unique CrossFit culture that values hard work, accountability, courage, and service to others,” Patterson says. “And our sober active approach at The Phoenix — that makes us natural partners.”In this talk given at the CrossFit for Health Summit on Feb. 3, 2024, in Austin, Texas, Patterson and fellow Phoenix representatives Dr. Jacki Hilios and Dr. Katie Heinrich share how CrossFit amplifies the work The Phoenix is doing to transform lives.SPEAKERSJacki Hilios, Ph.D., MSWKatie Heinrich, Ph.D., FACSM, FAAHBMeg Patterson, Ph.D., MPHCHAPTERS0:00-1:20 - Introduction and overview. 1:31-2:34 - About The Phoenix.2:40-6:24 - Addiction, disconnection, mental illness, and more: the crisis we face today.6:51-14:03 - How CrossFit is saving the lives of Phoenix members through holistic health and psychological safety.14:18-19:56 - Data that proves the power of the CrossFit community to transform mental health.20:05-22:19 - Empowering a more connected and healthy society together. —CrossFit, LLC is the owner of the world-famous CrossFit® fitness brand.

CrossFit for Health: Metabolic Health Is Mental Health, With Dr. Chris Palmer CrossFit 2024-04-09 | We’re in a global mental-health crisis. People are more depressed, anxious, addicted, and isolated than ever.There are treatments — medication, therapy, recovery programs — and they work. But not all of the time and not for everyone. Part of the problem, says Dr. Christopher Palmer — Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School — is that the origin of mental illness is still largely a medical mystery. But Palmer doesn’t think so. “What I'm here to say is we are, in fact, missing the elephant in the room,” he says. “Because mental metabolic problems have been identified in the brains and bodies of people with mental illness for over a century.”In a talk given at the CrossFit for Health Summit on Feb. 3, 2024, in Austin, Texas, Palmer presents the case for mental illness as metabolic illness, advocating for an integrated approach to mental-health treatment in which CrossFit could play a pivotal role.“The CrossFit prescription can be a legitimate biological metabolic brain intervention for people with real mental illness,” Palmer says.

CrossFit for Health: The Role of Lifestyle in Chronic Disease, With Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng CrossFit 2024-04-08 | Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng, a medical professional specializing in intensive care and founder of the Resource Optimization Network, never thought much about prevention. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit — and he couldn’t help but notice the patients coming through his ICU had some key things in common.“We saw more and more of a link with people with metabolic syndrome, people with obesity, Type 2 diabetes, people with dyslipidemia, or high cholesterol,” Kyeremanteng says in a talk given at the CrossFit for Health Summit on Feb. 3, 2024, in Austin, Texas. “I've worked in three hospitals seeing COVID for the last close to four years — I still haven't taken care of somebody that was completely healthy.”The effects of the pandemic — physical, social, and economic — have been devastating and costly. And the lesson? “Prevention — that is the prescription,” Kyeremanteng says. “You're not gonna be using the sick-care system if you are healthy; if you are getting to the gym, eating well, creating a sense of community, and reducing your stress.

CrossFit for Health: Training for Fitness vs. Performance CrossFit 2024-04-04 | One of the beautiful things about CrossFit is that whether you’re a 70-year-old grandmother training to stay out of the nursing home or a CrossFit Games athlete striving for the title of Fittest on Earth, you’re doing CrossFit. In those examples, the difference in training approach is obvious. But what about the murky middle? Enthusiastic athletes prone to overtraining in the hopes of becoming a little more competitive? Or former high-level athletes now training just for life?

CrossFit for Health: Simple, Not Easy, Ways To Improve Your Health CrossFit 2024-04-03 | To live a healthy, happy life, all you need to do is eat well, move well and often, and do so with others. Simple. But in a world with countless demands on our time and attention and structured for the benefit of convenience and profit — not people — living healthily is certainly not easy. “That’s how we are wired as humans … to look for the easy path,” says Miranda Alcaraz, CrossFit Level 4 Coach and owner of Street Parking. “But we're also wired as humans to be happiest and to be most effective through struggle and challenging ourselves.”In this panel discussion at the CrossFit for Health Summit on Feb. 3, 2024, in Austin, Texas, notable figures from the CrossFit community joined Summit speakers for a conversation about doing hard things. “It’s very important for us to remember that we are physiologically designed to experience hardship,” says Dr. Tom McCoy. “And the more time that we spend in discomfort, the more resilience and capacity and capability we have to manage stressors and other things that come up in our lives.”Panelists discuss the real challenges people face when it comes to maintaining healthy habits, the power of the shared experience and physical challenges, the problem of willpower, and how to coach others to long-lasting success."Doing hard things is the path to you getting better," Dr. Chris Palmer says.PANELISTSMiranda Alcaraz, CF-L4Owner, Street ParkingDale King Affiliate Owner, PSKC CrossFitE.C.

CrossFit for Health: From Obesity to Opioids, How CrossFit Can Save the World, With Dr. Tom McCoy CrossFit 2024-04-02 | “The Surgeon General notes that social connection is as fundamental a human need and as essential to survival as food, water, and shelter,” says Dr. Tom McCoy, dual board-certified physician in family and obesity medicine. The note McCoy references is from a 2023 advisory in which the U.S. Surgeon General declares the current state of affairs an “epidemic of loneliness and isolation.” And it’s not just a social problem; it’s a health problem, too. “When we look at social isolation and loneliness, it is consistently correlated with higher rates of insulin resistance, poor body composition, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperlipidemia, and poor muscle tone,” McCoy says in a talk given at the CrossFit for Health Summit on Feb. 3, 2024, in Austin, Texas.CrossFit, he says, can tackle both.“It is a wonderful comprehensive strategy to address some of the biggest challenges that we face as a nation right now in regards to healthcare,” Dr. McCoy says. “Being there for each other, connecting on a human level, is something that we do that no other fitness modality does.

CrossFit for Health: Muscle-centric Medicine, With Dr. Gabrielle Lyon CrossFit 2024-03-28 | We are fighting a global obesity epidemic. We’ve been hearing that for decades from all sources, with countless interventions — from dietary to medical to surgical — aimed at reducing body fat. “Have we gotten anywhere?” asks Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, renowned functional-medicine practitioner, and expert in protein application for health and aging. “Maybe it’s not just a fat problem,” she continues. “Maybe on the flip side of the coin, it’s a muscle problem — because it’s actually a metabolic problem, and at the root is skeletal muscle.” In this talk given at the CrossFit for Health Summit on Feb. 3, 2024, in Austin, Texas, Lyon, also board-certified in family medicine, presents evidence supporting a “muscle-centric” approach to medicine, arguing that prevention and reversal of the chronic-disease states plaguing humanity today starts with the health and preservation of skeletal muscle. “This is the new treatment for hypertension. This is the new treatment for dementia. This is the new treatment for cardiovascular disease,” she says. “Muscle is the currency of life.”CHAPTERS00:00-02:11 - Humble beginnings.02:16-03:50 - Confusing and divisive science.03:52-06:41 - The story behind the muscle-centric medicine movement. 06:44-09:25 - Do we have an obesity problem or a muscle problem? 09:32-13:04 - Skeletal muscle, inactivity, and the root cause of disease state.13:05-15:58 - The problem with Dexa scans. 16:04-17:58 - Skeletal muscle and glucose disposal, lipid oxidation, and insulin resistance. 17:59-19:43 - The adverse effects of fat infiltration of muscle are not inevitable. 20:39-21:23 - Questioning the current models of aging. 21:25-24:26 - Aging and the catabolic crisis. 24:33-25:43 - How we can affect muscle health.26:00-29:00 - Protecting skeletal muscle with dietary protein. 29:02-30:46 - How much protein do we need? 30:47-34:09 - When to eat protein for maximum benefit. 34:14-35:50 - Carbohydrates: Who needs them and how much? 35:55-37:19 - Muscle is medicine. —CrossFit, LLC is the owner of the world-famous CrossFit® fitness brand.

Own Your Health, With Nicole Carroll CrossFit 2024-03-26 | On Feb. 3, 2024, hundreds of CrossFit affiliate owners, coaches, and healthcare professionals gathered in Austin, Texas, and online for the CrossFit for Health Summit, presented by GORUCK.CrossFit thought leaders led panel discussions on fitness, performance, and the hard work of health, while renowned experts shared cutting-edge research on longevity, mental and metabolic health, and chronic disease — and how the CrossFit community has the power to transform the landscape of it all.It starts with education — the “core of CrossFit’s identity,” as CrossFit Chief Brand Officer Nicole Carroll said in her opening remarks. “I can't think of a time in my lifetime when this is more important than now,” she says. “When dependency, disempowerment, and disease are normalized and even exalted through almost every mainstream outlet; when the science that's been revered has failed us time and time again while somehow still painting us as the failures; where there's an ever-growing, understandable distrust in the business of Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Government, and the media that colludes with all of it.” Through self-experimentation and deliberate action that is measurable, observable, and repeatable, we are empowered to own our health. “And the fuel for that is education,” Carroll continues. “And this is what today is about. This event takes place in the context of CrossFit's broader commitment to the ongoing education of our community members, affiliate owners and coaches, and healthcare providers who want to deepen their understanding and take full ownership of their health, and help others do the same.”CHAPTERS00:00-04:50 - A brand built on education.04:52-08:07 - Measurability, transparency, and experimentation.08:09-10:57 - Beyond the mechanics of the CrossFit methodology. 11:00-13:06 - A glimpse of the magic of CrossFit: Patti’s story.13:07-20:24 - CrossFit is “a miracle of physiology and community.”20:25-21:52 - Continuing CrossFit’s legacy of health education.

After watching the instructor throw people around on the mat, Majidi felt he found his calling.“I say, ‘Here you go, that’s my sport, that’s what I want to do,’” he recalled. “I want to throw people.”However, when in 2019, Majidi could no longer participate in events run by Judo’s world governing body from his home country, he had to decide to leave his home or give up his passion. At the reluctance of his family, in the summer of 2020, Majidi trekked 3,000 miles to Glasgow, Scotland, mostly on foot. As a refugee with no friends or resources, Majidi was determined to make a name for himself in Judo. While on a run, he passed by CrossFit Glasgow and watched a group class. Curious, he walked in. Knowing nothing about his background, CrossFit Glasgow co-owner Iain Barbour treated Majidi as he would any other prospective member. “We had no idea about his story, we had no idea how far he traveled to get here,” Barbour said. “It was only a little bit further down the line … that we realized that he was here as a refugee and he had nowhere and nobody. We had facilities, so we offered him the space.”So, Majidi began training. Except for a few special Judo training camps, CrossFit was his only method of training to prepare for Judo. After earning a spot on the International Judo Federation’s Refugee Team, he became an IOC Refugee Athlete Scholarship holder and hopes to represent the Refugee Olympic Team in Paris 2024.“You have to be your hero in your life,” Majidi says. “You have to be.”Majidi will find out if he qualified for the Refugee Olympic Team in April. Join us in cheering him on by commenting or sharing his story. Stay tuned for updates. —CrossFit, LLC is the owner of the world-famous CrossFit® fitness brand.

Regularly Learn and Play New Sports CrossFit CrossFit 2024-03-19 | Regularly learn and play new sports.It’s an oft-dismissed directive, especially among those of us whose days on the field are over — or who never played traditional sports in the first place. But there’s a reason it ranks worthy of six of those short 100 words.New physical challenges test what we’ve spent hours practicing in the familiarity of the gym. They stimulate new neural connections in the brain, so accustomed to doing and moving in the usual patterns. They expose weaknesses. Regularly learning and playing new sports, or even just using our fitness in new ways, promotes growth and prevents stagnation.Lots of fun was had in Miami over the weekend, watching athletes max out on the platform and throw down on the mat.Find a CrossFit gym near you → bit.ly/find-a-crossfit-gym-near-you#CrossFit #BJJ #Weightlifting #Fitness #Sports —CrossFit, LLC is the owner of the world-famous CrossFit® fitness brand.

Not lots of space or top-notch gear (although great CrossFit gyms can have those things, too). Find a CrossFit gym near you → bit.ly/find-a-crossfit-gym-near-you“I believe what it takes to run an effective CrossFit affiliate is a solid handle on the CrossFit methodology, but an even greater passion for wanting to serve other people,” says Mee Lee, owner of CrossFit Makai in Ventura, California, and CrossFit Level 3 Trainer.For Lee, that passion started at home, as she coached her mother through outdoor workouts designed to help her stay healthy and active in her final years of life. After Lee’s mother died following her battle with liver and uterine cancer, Lee’s mission was clear.“I want to open an affiliate and take this newfound reignited passion for CrossFit and bring that to as many people as possible,” Lee says. Every day, often after a meditative morning mountain hike, Lee opens the back door of a small trailer in a single parking spot and pulls out her stockpile of fitness equipment. There, under the shade of a black pop-up canopy tent, she teaches her clients to move. “This makes you feel good, makes you ready to get up the next day,” says Inge, one of Lee’s personal-training clients. On the weekends, Lee hauls kettlebells and PVC pipes to the edge of the ocean behind the Zachari Dunes Hilton, where she coaches an outdoor CrossFit class for hotel guests and CrossFit Makai members — that is, when she’s not on the road as a CrossFit Seminar Staff Trainer, coaching aspiring CrossFit trainers and newcomers alike.“One of the coolest things about being a CrossFit coach is having the opportunity to take somebody through their first CrossFit workout,” she says.It’s a life Lee never imagined she’d lead — but one she says she’s blessed to live. “They’re my community,” Lee says of the athletes she coaches. “They trust me, they believe in me, and I want to do whatever I can to be the best coach and the best friend that I can be.”—CrossFit, LLC is the owner of the world-famous CrossFit® fitness brand.
