2/1 Transformation Tuesday - The State of the Gym

Kerri has been doing CrossFit for many years and has consistently worked to get beautiful push-ups. Her consistency has paid off!

Usually on Tuesdays I highlight the transformation story of an individual member of our gym. Today, I'm highlighting our collective amazingness. 
During our quarterly Check-ins we measure body fat and weight. For some of us this produces a bit of anxiety followed quickly by surprise and happiness. That's because the majority of us are making really fantastic and healthy changes to our body composition. 
There's no easy way to say this, a high body fat percent correlates with a high risk of several dangerous metabolic problems. Heart disease, Type II diabetes, hypertension, and a few others are all linked to a high body fat percentage. Collectively, these problems are called Metabolic Syndrome X, and this is one of the most common and serious co-morbidities for COVID related death.
All of these problems are completely preventable through diet and exercise. It's our lifestyle choices that make us healthy or unhealthy, and I'm super thrilled to say that we are a healthy group of happy people. 
​Since our last Check-in we have collectively lost 23 pounds!
We have collectively lost 13.4% body fat!
We have collectively gained 27 pounds of lean muscle mass!
WOW! There is absolutely no question that we can change our bodies, lose weight and get lean through diet and CrossFit. WE HAVE THE DATA! This is so fantastic!
Here's what I know watching all of you amazing people take charge of your health  to become lean and happy.
 - There is no magic pill, shake or cream.
 - You can't out-exercise your diet. 
 - Calories matter. 
 - Hydration matters. 
 - Sleep matters.
 - Exercise improves mental health. 
 - Nutrition improves physical health. 
Most folks who are making the biggest changes are also using some kind of wearable technology be it a Whoop, FitBit, Garmin, Polar or Sunto device. These devices place our lifestyle choices front and center and we are making healthier choices in response to the data. 
I look forward to seeing what our Spring Check-ins bring. I will be excited to report continued positive changes to our body composition and hearing all of your happy stories of improved sleep and performance.
