    Ep 20 | CrossFit Myths with Rocky McDowell, CF-L3 of CrossFit AMROCK

    Back with longtime friend of the podcast, Rocky McDowell, CF-L3 and co-owner of CrossFit AMROCK: in this episode we dive into some of the biggest myths that are prevalent in the CrossFit community. Anywhere from mild misconceptions to things that are just flat out not true! We cover eight of them in pretty good detail: "I need to be in shape to do CrossFit" "I can’t do those exercises (weights, pull ups, muscle ups, running) so I can’t do CrossFit" "CrossFitters don't care about form" "I’m going to get hurt doing CrossFit" "I don't want to get bulky" "I don’t want to compete and CrossFit is only about competition" "I’m not comfortable taking my shirt off to work out, and all CrossFitters take their clothes off to work out" "I’m too old, young, overweight, skinny, weak, etc to do CrossFit" Some of these we've touched on in previous episodes, some of these we're going to take a deeper dive into in future episodes, but all really valuable insights if you are open to challenging some of your beliefs. Have you heard any of these before? What do you think? Let us know!

    Ep 19 | CrossFit is For Every BODY with Cristina Anderson, CF-L4 of CrossFit Medfield and Rocky McDowell, CF-L3 of CrossFit AMROCK

    In this JAM PACKED episode full of so many great anecdotes and pieces of advice, I am joined with returning guest Rocky McDowell as we interview Cristina Anderson, a level 4 CrossFit coach who is extremely passionate about creating a welcoming, empathetic environment for everyone, wherever they may be, in their fitness journey. Cristina lives in Massachusetts, but is making a special trip to Idaho Falls next week to help instill those same values here. In our discussion, we ask Cristina to share her thoughts on topics such as: What is your personal mission with CrossFit and the fitness space at large? What are your own mental and physical health struggles that you dealt with? What's the big deal with empathy and why do you think it's so foundational to helping people transform their lives? Do you need to be fit to do CrossFit? What's the difference between physical appearance vs physical function? Why is it important to shift your mindset from focusing on what your body LOOKS like vs what your body can DO? Why CrossFit vs a much cheaper gym membership? Empathy is at the heart of Cristina's practice, and if you've ever felt like you're out of place or "not worthy" to be working out in a gym, then you'll absolutely want to take a listen to this. Also, special announcement: If you have any inkling of making a positive health change and trying CrossFit, wondering what it's all about, if it's for you, and how it can literally change your life, then you're in luck. Rocky and Cristina are teaming up and hosting a FREE workshop for the Idaho Falls community on July 22, 2023. More details here in the Facebook event. If you have questions about the workshop, please reach out to either me or CrossFit AMROCK via their website or through one of their social channels on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok. If you want to get in touch with Cristina, you can message her on Instagram. ____________________ Pain or injury holding you back from your normal fitness routine?
