At Modern Human CrossFit, we believe in the power of both training and activity. But what’s the difference? Understanding this can help you achieve your fitness goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The Power of Activity
Activity refers to any movement you do throughout the day. It includes physical jobs, walking 10,000 steps, or enjoying outdoor activities. Activity should happen daily, and you generally don’t need to recover from it.
Benefits of Being Active:
- Improves cardiovascular health
- Boosts mental well-being
- Enhances metabolism
- Reduces the risk of chronic diseases
Staying active can transform your life. It keeps your body moving and promotes overall health.
The Focus of Training
Training, on the other hand, is deliberate exercise. It involves strength, cardio, and skill work. At Modern Human CrossFit, our class sessions are structured to challenge and improve your fitness.
Benefits of Training:
- Builds muscle strength
- Improves endurance
- Enhances skill proficiency
- Boosts metabolic rate
- Promotes better body composition
Training sessions should last about an hour, 3-5 times a week. After hardworking exercise, your body will need time to recover.
The Need for Both Training & Activity
Both are essential for optimal health. If your results have plateaued, it might be time to mix up your routine. Combining daily activity with structured training can help you break through plateaus and achieve new goals.
