Anyone who shops in Curaçao knows how it goes: you stand at the checkout, pay for your groceries, and before you realize it, everything is neatly packed for you. Walk outside? Someone is already waiting to carry your groceries to the car. Convenience at its finest, right?
But let’s be honest—what if this convenience is actually making us lazy? What if we’re missing a chance to become stronger and fitter?
Muscle Mass: Your Key to a Healthy Life
Research consistently shows that muscle mass plays a crucial role in aging healthily. Strong muscles don’t just help with everyday movements—they protect your joints, boost your metabolism, and reduce the risk of injuries and chronic diseases.
Yet, in daily life, we increasingly let others do the heavy lifting for us. But why let that happen when you can get stronger yourself?
Carrying Groceries = Functional Fitness
At CrossFit Damacor, we don’t just train to look good in the mirror. We train for life. We lift weights, push sleds, carry sandbags, and do farmer’s carries—exercises that directly build strength for everyday activities.
And what’s a simpler way to train functional strength than carrying your own groceries? Lifting a full bag, carrying it to your car, and loading it in is a mini-workout in itself. It builds grip strength, strengthens your core, and gets your body used to carrying heavy loads—just like we train in the gym.
Take Back Control: Carry Your Own Groceries
Next time you’re at the supermarket and someone offers to pack or carry your groceries, kindly say: “Thanks, but I’ll do it myself.” Treat it as a small, daily workout. A chance to maintain your fitness, get stronger, and actively contribute to your own health.
At CrossFit Damacor, we train for real life. So why stop getting stronger outside the gym? Grab your groceries, lift that heavy bag of rice, and realize: you are choosing fitness.
