Read about CrossFit in the Wall Street Journal: Fitness as a Full-Time Pursuit. The article outlines the story of Hector Delgado, an ex US-Marine who got crushed under a fuel tank. Today, he can walk again for short distances after taking up his CrossFit Training 1.5 years ago at CrossFit Suffolk.
Also, make sure to watch this fast-paced video which accompanies the article:
It’s inspiring stories like these which make it just that bit harder to come up with excuses not to workout and look after your diet.
Results from the noon group:
Evelin -> 11:34 (as rx’d, 8kg Kettlebell)
David S. -> 12:36 (1 green band, 3 rounds)
Guido G. -> 12:18 (1 green band, 4 rounds, no Squats)
A nice time by Evelin and solid Squat-Technique by David. Good progress everyone, keep it up.
19:34, so I finally got the sub-20 minute time I wanted. Now to work on those pushups and break the 15 minute barrier!
Congrats Mirko! You nearly cut your time in half since you first did the benchmark, that’s impressive progress. Rock on!
Very timely article and video. One of our trainers has suffered a very bad snowmobile accident and has shattered his pelvis among other injuries. The surgeon said that if he wasn’t in such good shape, the accident would have killed him. I fully expect him to overcome his injury and use CrossFit as part of his rehabilitation.
