Super Power Your Immune System and Jump Start Your Health with CrossFit

By: CrossFit Fortify

Supporting a lifestyle of personal health and wellness is more important now than ever. Your Richwood CrossFit family is here to empower our gym members to be their best, strongest selves in the year to come. If you've been sitting at home for awhile and Netflix marathons aren't quite the miles you need, reboot or begin your fitness journey with us and discover how CrossFit can lead to a healthier you and a supercharged immune system.

No Stress, All Gains

High intensity strength training exercises are the best way to practice sweat-it-out self-care. CrossFit training releases a significant amount of serotonin, a vital neurotransmitter that improves mood, reduces anxiety, and helps us perform at our best by managing stress levels. Low intensity workouts, such as cardio, are less effective in giving our brains the "rush" of a post workout glow.

Stress impacts our immune system by inhibiting our ability to fight off colds and viruses. Giving our bodies the extra boost to combat anxiety and fatigue is key when it comes to improving immune response, reducing inflammation, and achieving an overall state of balance and positive mental outlook.

Strong Enough to Fight Germs

CrossFit health is unlike your standard gym routine. Through a lifestyle of functional fitness that yields real results, members focus on building strength rather than simply losing inches. The diversity of exercises -- from lifting to running sprints -- is anything but routine.

This challenges our bodies to be stronger and healthier every day, giving foreign bacteria a run for its money. CrossFit health enthusiasts are the ultimate gym warriors. By building a tolerance of regular physical stress, our bodies are better equipped to fight off illness. This leads to high gains and fewer sick days in our fitness journey.

A Natural Detox

The power of physical activity is not to be underestimated when it comes to providing an immune system supplement to fortify your natural defenses. Studies demonstrate that high intensity physical activities, like CrossFit, may help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways. This cleanses toxins from the heart and lungs, reducing the chances of catching a cold, flu, or other illness.

High intensity fitness can also produce more antibodies and white blood cells, which serve as the immune system's natural defense against foreign invaders.
