Congratulations! You’re over halfway done with CK3K! But there’s still work left to do. To help you finish strong, we’ve made a list of all the benefits you’ll reap from keeping up with your squats. Increased strength. Duh. Squats target your glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, and core muscles. So, you’re building strength across the board, which transfers over to every other movement you make. Except maybe bicep curls, but probably also bicep curls. Caloric burn. Another no-brainer. You burn about 32 calories for every 100 squats (if you’re an average human). So, by doing 100 squats a day...

Earning her first podium finish at the 2020 CrossFit Games, Kari Pearce showed the grit and determination it takes to be the 3rd Fittest Woman in the World. And she graciously agreed to tell us about the process. “It feels like it should. It feels amazing,” Kari humbly admits. “Not just because of those [titles], but because of the hours and hours and hours of work that goes into it to accomplish that. Being the 3rd Fittest Woman on earth, that’s incredible. Especially because you’ve seen me get better. I started off 21st in 2015, then worked my way up...

Here’s the deal. The average American will consume about 3,000 calories during Thanksgiving dinner. So we did the math (kinda) to give you an idea of what those macros look like, and came up with a few tricks to help you stay on track through the holiday.

Take 10% of the overage off of every day the week before (or after) and then you’ve got a surplus of 70% to...
