Nearly 2,500 years ago a wrestler by the name of Milo of Croton dominated the Ancient Olympic Games in Greece, winning five Olympic Games in a row and staying on top of the wrestling world for 25 years! So what can Milo teach us about improving our overall health and fitness? Well, it is said that Milo of Croton built his incredible strength and endurance through one simple strategy. Progressive overload. One day, a calf was born near Milo’s home. The wrestler decided to lift the small animal up and carry it up a mountain on his shoulders. The next day, he returned and did the same. Milo continued this strategy for the next four years, hoisting the calf onto his shoulders each day as it grew, until he was no longer lifting a calf, but a full grown bull. The key to becoming and staying healthy and looking great is as simple as putting in the necessary work, and doing it properly. That’s where Croton Fitness come in.
