What's the point of fitness? I mean why do we as human beings put ourselves through the punishment we do, especially in CrossFit workouts? Is it simply to look or feel better?

The purpose of CrossFit? To improve your general level of physical preparedness for life in each of the 10 general physical domains (strength, flexibility, stamina endurance, speed, power, balance, coordination, agility, accuracy). And at the pinnacle of the CrossFit heararchial model of fitness - get out there and play, participate in and learn new sports, go on adventures, be an active participant in your life - surf, ski, play a sport, run, ride, climb a mountain, etc.

I'm sure each of you has your own answer to the original question... so what is it? Why do you do this? Are you actively participating in life and sport? Lets hear about it in comments.
