What Is Fitness?
The CrossFit model of training is the on the cutting edge of fitness. Within the community, we are making discoveries and creating new standards to achieve a higher level of fitness everyday. The methodology and prescription of CrossFit are tested on a regular basis as should be with any good scientific model.
The main goal of CrossFit, as should be with any "fitness" program, is to envoke in our ourselves and eachother a higher level of fitness. In order to do that we have to give the word fitness a definition.
Here is a great article defining fitness from the founder of CrossFit, Greg Glassman.
Dang it! I love Total!! I am gonna stop being lame and I will be back in tomorrow morning at 7 am. Becky and Vilas!! See you there Gangsta!
ReplyDeleteNate and Chace. Thanks for checking on me.

Can we do Fran tomorrow on the rest day?
ReplyDeleteBtw, did a travel workout on Saturday... 150 burpees for time. My shoulders just started feeling right again. Took 16:50... should be able to get 14:00 next time because I didn't pace it right in the beginning.
I hope so Curtis. I've never done Fran and looking forward to hitting it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteholy shit. HOLY SHIT. i just did fran for the first time. all this talk about it being THE crossfit workout got me pumped. somehow i have never done it. i have done variations but never just fran. i saw chace's time of 3:08 and decided i was doing it.
ReplyDeletebig mistake, that was the worst thing ever. seriously. and i have broken my legs, back, and got my jimmy stuck in a coffee maker. not really on that last one, but given the choice between that and fran, i would not choose fran.
i made several mistakes,
1. i though that since chace and i were close on many things i would aim for a 3 minute fran.
2. i wore jeans, a belt and skateboard shoes.
3. i had to poop.
4. i went heavy yesterday
5. i am arrogant
6. i have a loose understanding of gravity, time, and irony.
anyways, it was like giving twenty dollars to a respectable charity and in return they kicked me n the face and proceeded to take twenty more dollars and call my mom a whore.
i did it in 4:51. which i know is pretty good, but it certainly brought me out of the clouds, and put me in my place. i have a new respect for crossfit and all those folks who do it weather you are new or a verteran.
crossfit never ceases to challenge me and keep me pushing myself physically and mentally all the time.
so tired, so hungry.
