Live Like Nobody Else

So for those of you that know me well, you understand that faith is a very important guiding value in my life. I recently went to church and heard an amazing and inspiring sermon about living “weird”; the pastor of the church is a bit consume with health and fitness, and constantly relates much of what he discusses about taking care of you body, cool huh? For me I was able to take much of what was said and apply it to any and all parts of my life…
When it comes to life in order to achieve your goals you often times have to be “weird” in order to get the job done or the results we want. Examples, those who are financially well off often have odd, but obviously successful ways in doing business. Great athletes train, eat and sleep, in concordance with their athletic endeavors, sometimes neglecting family and friends, to win the championship, or bring home the trophy. Good relationships take sacrifice and are often thought as being “weird”, bottom line: “Extreme results require extreme sacrifices.”
So here is my proposal, let’s stick out, let’s be weird because normal is not working!! The food pyramid has been changed time and time again because it’s broken and isn’t working. However when people eat clean good foods (“weird”, especially at family parties when you get made fun of) that our body was meant to eat, people become healthier. When people train hard (“weird”), lift heavy weights and give their 100% (they get thrown out of their gym or get funny looks) they become more fit, stronger healthier, and a better quality of life.
Bottom line… extreme sacrifices, breeds extreme outcomes.
If you want to reap the rewards, you must be “weird.” There is no choice!! If you want to live like no
one else and become successful, have a better relationship, financially well off, or have a six pack you
have to be willing to make the sacrifices that it takes to get your results.
If you want to live like nobody else, you must be willing to live like no one else!!

About Caleb
I found CrossFit while in college at SUNY Cortland, studying for a degree in Kinesiology. At the end of my program, I needed to fulfill my internship requirements and came to Albany CrossFit to work with Jason. The rest is history. CrossFit has changed my perception on fitness and I feel privileged to be able to bring this gift to the masses. My goal is to help make people happier and healthier and spread the love of CrossFit with everyone.
