Cloyde M shows us that being strong aint easy
"I’ve written before that I think CrossFitting with consis-
tency and intensity both requires and evokes emotional
commitment. For many, it is too challenging and trans-
formative to engage in casually. It makes us vulnerable
and forces us far beyond our zones of comfort. It makes
us reckon with decisions we make about eating and
sleeping. It makes us consider all our excuses for not being
as fit as we’d like. It gets our competitive juices flowing and
encourages us to set higher goals for what our bodies can
do."
