“𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱.”
😂
That was (one of) Cooter’s answer this morning when we were talking about WHY we work out.
And honestly . . . he pretty much nailed it.
People have asked me lately, “What kind of workouts do you do at Freestyle?”
And I could tell you we lift weights. We work our core. We squat, lunge, push, pull, carry, sweat, laugh and occasionally question our life choices. 😂 We work on strength, balance, mobility, endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
But that still doesn’t really answer the question.
We train for LIFE.
We train because we want to keep getting off the floor without thinking twice about it.
We want to carry our own groceries, move furniture, climb stairs, travel, work in the yard and play with our grandkids someday (some of us are doing this now;).
We want strong bones. Strong muscles. Healthy hearts. Bodies that MOVE.
We want to be 60, 70 and 80 years old and still be capable of doing the things we love.
We want to feel GOOD.
And yes—sometimes we work out because we want our jeans to fit better or because we like seeing a little muscle in the mirror. There’s nothing wrong with that either. 😉
But the older I get, the more I realize that the greatest return on the time we spend exercising isn’t what it does for our bodies today. It’s what it allows our bodies to KEEP doing years from now.
That is a HUGE part of why we created Freestyle.
You don’t have to be the strongest person in the room. You don’t have to be coordinated. You don’t have to know what you’re doing before you walk through our doors.
You just have to decide that your future self is worth taking care of.
So now I want to hear from YOU:
👇 What is YOUR reason for working out—or what do you want your body to still be able to do 20 years from now?
And if you’ve been wondering what we actually do at Freestyle. . . come find out. ❤️ There’s a place for you here.
