Chris Beat Cancer
A Chemo-Free Survivor on Tumblr
New Interview of me on Barbell Shrugged podcast!
Here’s a lengthy video interview I did with the guys from the Barbell Shrugged podcast.
We talk about my strategy to beat cancer with nutrition and natural therapies, as well as exercise, fitness, supplements, more. It’s a fun one.
Warning: there is some salty dialogue.
What Is CrossFit?
Exercise is a critical component to getting healthy and staying healthy.
Everyone knows this.
Moving your body gets all your juices flowing.
Mostly importantly it increases blood and lymphatic circulation, both of which speed up the healing process and increase your overall health.
I exercised a lot in the first few years of my cancer diagnosis.
Especially short runs and rebounding. But I didn’t do much weight training…
And I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I’ve had a local gym membership that I have barely used in the last 10 years.
The only reason I kept renewing is because it was super cheap.
I had a “VIP” membership for $120 per year. That’s $10 bucks a month!
It was an amazing deal but I never went because :
1) It wasn’t motivated
2) I didn’t have a work out plan
3) Working out alone is the pits
CrossFit got me excited about working out again.
