#45: How Functional Fitness Supports Long-Term Health with Brian Kunitzer

In this episode I am joined by CrossFit* Games athlete and
founder of CrossFit Magna (@cfmagna), Brian Kunitzer. As a
competitive athlete, husband, father and business owner, Brian
can speak to how to prioritize your health while you have a lot
on your plate, and the importance of making choices that are
aligned with your values. Over the last 10 years of owning an
exercise facility centered around family, health and fitness,
Brian has learned a lot about a well-rounded fitness program,
coaching, helping individuals achieve their goals and much
more.

In this conversation we discuss:


The basics of what CrossFit is as an exercise program

How to take the next step in long-term health and fitness
(especially if you just started a routine during quarantine)

How a functional fitness program positively impacts your life
physically and mentally outside of the gym

A challenge you can try to work on reducing how often you
complain and the way you frame opportunities 

How to find the right gym, coach and/or program for you

Debunking common questions/concerns like if you need to be in
shape before starting CrossFit, what to think about if you feel
judged as a newbie at the gym and if you should still workout if
you’re super sore

And more!
