Lifestyle Millionaire
What defines life successes?Take a moment to ask yourself this question and challenge your perspective. In a previous article, I reflected on CrossFit’s “What is Fitness” and how it reshaped my view of fitness. More importantly, it broadened my perspective on life. For many, financial success is the goal—but this is just one piece of the puzzle. What good is financial freedom if you lack health, functionality, or meaningful relationships to enjoy it? In CrossFit, we often say, “You are as strong as your weakest link.” We aim to develop balance across the 10 General Physical Skills: A deficiency in any of these areas is where the greatest improvement can be made. This principle applies beyond fitness to all aspects of life. Consider these simplified pillars of life—no single one is more important than the others: 1. Physical Health 2. Mental & Emotional Health 3. Relationship & Social Connection 4. Financial Stability & Freedom 5. Purpose & Self-Improvement 6. Quality Nutrition 7. Balance & Leisure How These Pillars Interact A truly quality life isn’t just about excelling in one area but finding harmony across all pillars. Strengthening one often positively influences others—for instance, improving physical health can enhance mental clarity and emotional resilience, while financial freedom can allow more time for relationships and leisure. Ultimately, the goal is to create a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. In my opinion, those who find balance across all these areas are living truly rich, fulfilling lives. They are the ones who achieve the status of a Lifestyle Millionaire. Time HorizonSuccess isn’t just about the present—it’s about building a foundation for the future.Ask yourself:Where do I see myself at 40, 60, 90, or even 100 years old?Are my current actions aligned with that vision? Your future will reflect where you choose to invest your energy today. Take ActionIdentify the area of your life where you’re currently weakest and start there. Small, consistent steps in the right direction will empower you to take control and responsibility for your own life. Nothing happens by accident—every outcome is a result of your choices. By making the hard decisions now, you can earn the rewards later. Holistic success is a journey, not a destination. Strive for balance, aim for growth, and build the life you deserve. We all have the potential to become Lifestyle Millionaires—the question is, are we willing to put in the work to make it happen? – Written by Marie.

Can you squat?
Squat Technique (courtesy of Kelly Starret of Mobility WOD) The squat is more than just a strength-based exercise done at the gym. It’s how humans lower their center of gravity. Think about it. Every time you sit down on the couch, get up out of a chair, or remove yourself from the toilet, you’re performing a close iteration of a back squat. On any given day you most likely perform hundreds of squats. Now, imagine what happens if you have bad squatting technique: Your body lets you know that you’re doing something wrong by firing the pain signal. You might not feel the consequences immediately, but eventually it will catch up. And when it does, you’ll wish you had paid more attention to the quality of your movement. Here’s the deal. Squatting with bad form has transferable consequences. For example, if your knees cave inward, your ankles collapse, or you overextend at your lumbar spine while performing your hundred-plus squats per day, chances are good that you will exhibit these very same faults during loaded, dynamic movements, such as jumping and landing. It’s no wonder so many people suffer from low back pain or blow out their knee before age thirty. You should look at the squat as a diagnostic tool for identifying movement faults and limitations in mobility. If you can’t squat butt to ankles without defaulting into a poor position (rounding your back, knees tracking inward, etc.), it’s an indication that you either a) don’t understand how to perform the movement correctly, or b) you are missing range of motion in one or more areas of your body (i.e., dorsiflexion, hip internal rotation, tight hamstrings). Luckily, both issues have solutions. Bad form can be fixed by learning the proper movement in stages, and a restricted range of motion can be fixed through regularly practicing specific mobility exercises (all of which are found in Becoming a Supple Leopard). The bottom line is you need to learn how to squat correctly and then practice the proper mechanics every time you lower your center of mass, whether you’re back squatting in the gym, picking something up off the ground, or sitting down and getting up off a chair. It’s the same technique.
