What’s worse is it’s very difficult to grasp the “health” concept for most folks because they’re using the excuse of “Moderation”. Hopefully today’s slap on the head will open your eyes to this contrary mindset. www.instagram.com/thefitnesscru
- Cook Your Own Sh*t - An episode focused on nutrition. Are you cooking your own food? Are you eating real food? Cooking for others shows you care. Are you “rewarding” your kids with shitty food? Why are punishments rewards and why are rewards punishments - Forget your cookie... What’s a “cruickie”? And stop “cutting carbs”, start focusing on THIS instead. www.instagram.com/thefitnesscru #realfood #haveacookie #food #nutrition #fitness#health
You’re Training Too Hard - it’s Tuesday aka CRUesday.

Are you ready to fight? What if tomorrow someone walked up to you and started threatening you or you loved ones? Would you be ready and prepared to battle? Today’s episode is about always being prepared and not having to prepare. Train like you are getting ready for war or sport. And stay ready. If anything, you will always be prepared to defend yourself in real life situations. Essentially, are you being soft? Or are you ready to defend yourself and your loved ones if need be? Maybe you should set a goal to get back to the shape you were in when you played sports. This mindset will give you more of a purpose to live and FEEL alive.
