CROSS-fit #120 So what can I do about it?

Crossfit advocates many aspects of fitness.
One specific item on the list is what we call General Physical Preparedness (GPP)
GPP is basically everything and anything you do in your daily life.
Are you physically fit to get off the chair? Fit to carry a 10kg backpack to travel?
In some cases, are you fit enough to carry your injured loved one out of a burning building.
We train to be better at life.
To do the uncommon, commonly well.
To train for it, we do Crossfit and we do things which are constantly varied.

Well, that's all said and done.
So comes the real important question.
For the duration you have been doing Crossfit, the entire duration.
When have you actually exercised your fitness outside Crossfit? (Apart from professional sports)
When was the last time you helped someone with you fitness?

My brother, a tutor in the university, spoke of an interesting story.
He spoke of how in the module he was teaching, Medical Sociology has 2 main types of students.
The Arts students and the Nursing students.
It was the final lesson, the time where students bombard him with questions regarding the exam.
The Arts students all asked him the 'right' questions, how do we pass the exam, how do we do well?
Then came the last moments of the lesson, a summary of the various problems of medical sociology was raised and then came the question from the Nurses.
"So... What can we do about it?"

These were people whom weren't too bothered about the grades or about social standing.
These were people whom cared about how to be a solution.
We're caught up in becoming the fittest on Earth, caught up in becoming stronger each day and looking inwards for gratification.
But really, what have we done with our fitness? What have we done with all the strength in the World if we can't help or create a dent in the Universe?
There's so much we can do, there's so much we can be in the World.
We have fitness, knowledge, spirituality, boldness, confidence.
Maybe it's time to ask,
"What can we do about it?"


I say we take a stand for what's right and what we believe in
