If you ask 100 people to define beauty, you'll get 100 different answers. Most will falter and offer descriptions instead. • CrossFit athletes are now rejecting previous definitions of beauty and putting forth their own, a definition researched and confirmed in every workout and every rep. • There are people who spend their entire lives allowing the reflection in the mirror to determine their self-esteem, submitting to a cultural judgment established decades ago. But in CrossFit gyms all over the world, mirrors are conspicuous by their absence. Fitness is gauged in reps, in speed, power, virtuosity. And beauty is measured in joy. And in pride, says narrator Marty Cej. • CrossFit presents a new aesthetic based on function, performance and confidence. • I love the way that CrossFitters look because it's just so real, says three-time CrossFit Games competitor Ruth Anderson Horrell, pointing to an aesthetic that's born of a relentless pursuit of work capacity and the inner strength that comes from achieving it. • It's beautiful to be fit, but I think ... anyone who carries themselves with confidence will be beautiful, says Michele Letendre. • Four-time Games competitor Austin Malleolo agrees: If you want to look good, do stuff well, and do what life demands of you, and everything else will fall into place. • Video by Jon Gilbert and Marty Cej. • The CrossFit Journal -- (http://journal.crossfit.com) • — • CrossFit is the world’s leading platform for improving health and performance. In the 20 years since its founding, CrossFit has grown from a garage gym in Santa Cruz, California, into the world’s most effective program for improving health and performance through nutrition and exercise. CrossFit is the world’s leading provider of accredited performance-based training courses and certifications and has more than 125,000 credentialed coaches across the world. The program can be modified to welcome people of all ages and abilities and millions of people have already experienced CrossFit’s transformational benefits in more than 13,000 affiliated gyms across 158 countries. CrossFit also directs the CrossFit Games season, beginning with the annual CrossFit Open, through which athletes at every level compete worldwide, and culminating in the CrossFit Games, where top athletes compete for the title of Fittest on Earth®. • Learn more about CrossFit → https://www.crossfit.com/what-is-cros... • Find a CrossFit gym near you → https://www.crossfit.com/map?utm_sour... • Find CrossFit Courses near you → https://www.crossfit.com/courses-near... • View CrossFit workouts → https://www.crossfit.com/workout?utm_... • Subscribe to CrossFit email newsletters → https://www.crossfit.com/newsletters/... • Learn more about the CrossFit Games → https://cf.games/learn-more • CrossFit® - Forging Elite Fitness® • The CrossFit Games® - The Sport of Fitness™ - The Fittest On Earth™
