We’ve held our fair share of them and will continue to do so, as they have tons of benefits to them and they are a vital part of any effort to make long-term changes to your fitness and health. In the same way training at Roots isn’t a one-time perfect sprint – it’s a series of acquiring more habits that deliver long-term, consistent results – we know that the same efforts and mindset can be applied to building food and lifestyle habits that also deliver consistent and amazing results. Exit: “habits in/habits out” ENTER: THE NOT A CHALLENGE HEALTH CHALLENGE After working with hundreds of athletes and understanding what drives long-term behavior and performance improvements, we’re introducing a 3-month guided event to help you...Read more
