Rest Day
Are You Sick, Well, or Fit? Why You Need to Track Your Health Markers
Fitness isn't a look. It's a capacity. CrossFit defines fitness as the ability to perform well across a wide range of tasks, movements, and time domains, and health as the ability to sustain that capacity for life. Picture a continuum running from sickness to wellness to fitness. Where you sit on it determines your buffer against disease. Track the numbers that matter: blood sugar, lipid profiles, and performance markers. Then use what you learn. Every healthy behavior you adopt moves you further up the continuum, building the vitality and resilience that keep decrepitude at bay.

21 overhead walking lunges
400-meter run
♀ 25-lb plate

no gas in the tank, was hoping to be under 25 minutes. Seemed like the TTB, lunges, and runs compounded each other’s difficulty. Also dropped the plate in round 2 and it skinned my shin which made for a throbbing loop. Regardless, with honor. RIP Ashley White.
