Welcome to the CrossFit Health Book Club. Each month, we will announce the title of a book based on a health topic we will cover through articles, social-media posts, IG lives, and webinars. The book for August 2022 is “Hard to Kill: Master the Mindset to Maximize Your Years.” We would love for you to read along with us and provide feedback and questions for our webinar in the comments below.

Publisher’s Description
\n
A lot of things can be bought in this world, but your health isn’t one of them. The only person who can achieve optimal health is one who is willing to put in the work. To make the most out of your one chance on Earth, you need to become a master of the five pillars of health:
“Hard to Kill” will give you a roadmap that will help you to master those five pillars, making you physically, mentally, and spiritually strong. A mistake made more than once is a choice. Choose to be “Hard to Kill.”
