Did you watch any of the CrossFit games? Sure, the top athletes are impressive, but what really impresses us is the masters group. That's anyone over 55 years of age.
That pretty much sums up the majority of our gym!
Can older athletes workout at high intensity? What about learning complex movements?
The answer is a big YES!
Older athletes can perform at high intensity and learn complex movements like clean and jerks. The secret is in understanding each person's current fitness level.
CrossFit is one of the best things an older person can do for their health and quality of life. With some extra attention to post-workout recovery, hydration and nutrition, there is no reason why they can't be strong and athletic.
Greg is surprisingly -ism free on this episode. It's still a good time. Take a listen and enjoy!
