Check it out... long-term CrossFit athletes pass along the lessons they’ve learned, explain how CrossFit has changed for them over the years “On any given day, no matter how bad or unproductive my day is, getting in a CrossFit WOD is the only thing in my life that is all-at-the-same-time challenging, hard, scary, nerve- wracking, fun, social (and) yields short- and long-term and direct and indirect benefits. It’s a daily mini-battle that I know I can win or complete so long as I just show up and engage,” Myers said. Another reason so many people stick with their CrossFit routine is that it’s easy to adjust the workout as your fitness needs and goals change. A lot can happen in 10 years. Jobs change, children are born, and—inevitably—we age. But, as Glassman wrote in “What Is Fitness?” in 2002, “The needs of our grandparents and Olympic athletes differ by degree not kind.” CrossFit’s scalability ensures the program can be modi- fied for any situation, allowing long-term commitment. Just because you don’t want to lift the weights you used to, or you’ve decided for whatever reason handstand push-ups are off the table, that doesn’t mean you have to stop doing CrossFit. You can still get a killer workout and maintain or improve your health—and perhaps you’ll even hit a PR you never saw coming.
