''Crossfit sets my daily routine. It's almost a form of therapy'' says Annina. To catch the gains from though workouts she focuses to eat five times a day and sleep a minium of 7 hours a day. There are three things that keeps her thriving for results every step of the way, that make her feel alive and well. Read below and find Anniina's favourite movements to feel the spirit of crossfit.

Three reasons why Anniina loves crossfit:

Diverse movements.

''Functional movements are the core of crossfit. They are movements that are categorically unique in their ability to express power and usefulness also outside of gym in every day life. For example the deadlift is just how a human picks something up.''

Defying self-imposed limitations.

''Gaining personal growth is the best way to impact mood and keep you thirsty for more. Before crossfit I did gymnastics, which has this spirit of testing limits of human body. I heard that crossfit groups have samething similar and I haven't been disappointed.''

''At crossfit training, you don't think anything extra. This is what enables big wins. In interval training, in particular, is always just as awful, but the feeling of tremendous energy after reaching personal intentions and goals is unbeatable. To me crossfit is almost therapeutic.''

Last but not least third reason - Community.

''Even though we do our own workouts, there is a warm feeling of community at the gym. People really support each other regardless of their level. Everyone gets power for their own work out when they can share thoughts with other cross-fitters for example, about heavy interval workouts. You might be the one to change everything for everyone.''
