"It takes strength to live this way: I’m not going to lie.
The workouts? The nutrition? The commitment to proper sleep and work and discipline? The CrossFit Life? Not easy. CrossFit is hard. It should be hard. If it feels easy, you’re probably not going hard enough.
So, honestly, you might not be strong enough for CrossFit. You might be struggling. You might not be ready. You might not have what it takes. But in those reasons why you shouldn’t do CrossFit or why you shouldn’t stick with CrossFit are the reasons why you should.
Huh?
Maybe you need CrossFit because you need to build strength. Maybe you need CrossFit because you need to improve balance, or coordination, or endurance — in all aspects of your life, physical and mental.
Maybe you need CrossFit because you need to learn to commit, to make right choices, to improve yourself in those exact moment when you just want to give up and do “good enough” for the rest of your life.
Sometimes you have to chase who you’re not right now in order to find out who you are. And sometimes who you are is way stronger than you ever realized.
Maybe somebody in your life needs you to be better, stronger, faster, and more complete of a human being. Maybe that somebody is your family or friends. Or maybe that somebody is you. "

Did you know that Chia Seeds have...
2x the potassium of bananas
3x the antioxidant strength of blueberries
3x more iron than spinach
6x more calcium than milk
7x more vitamin C than oranges
8x more omega 3 of wild salmon
15x more magnesium than broccoli
In South America, as far back as 3000 BC Chia Seeds (Salvia Hispanica) had been a staple of daily nutrition
In Mayan and Aztec life, the seed was so important, it was incorporated into religious ceremonies and tribal trading, even having the harvest time for the seeds outlined in ancient Aztec calendars. The health benefits of these super seeds are truly amazing and still being discovered.
They were known in ancient society as the "Running Food" and is said ancient warriors would sustain themselves on long journeys with a single spoon full of the seeds daily.
Mix the seeds with water at a 9:1 (water to seeds ratio), in 30 mins and a few stirs later you'll have a super nutritious almost tasteless solid gel.
The gel is also formed when the seeds are in the stomach. This gel creates a barrier between carbs and the digestive enzymes that break them down. This in turn slows the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar, which is an incredible benefit for those suffering from diabetes.
It also stabilizes changes in your matabolism, so the pits and valleys of energy drinks is non existant, thus creating longer more dependable fueling effects.
