What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

Anyone Else Sore as Hell!

Day 9:
Burpee Buy-In - 45
Burpees Remaining - 5,005

If you couple a few of days off for Christmas and a brutal WOD like "Cindy-Grace", it normally equals soreness (especially when you get a OPR by 2:05). I never expected this though ... WOW!!! Regardless we push on because that's what we do in CrossFit.

If there's one thing you take away from CrossFit, it's to "check your ego at the door". That is for those muscle heads who look down at you and snicker when watching you struggle on finishing out 100 push ups after 100 pull ups & also those individuals who walk in thinking they can't do 100 push ups. Check your ego at the door, because you can do this. Your body is a wonderful thing ... it's capable of so much more. Your mind just gets in it's way!

Check out this classic CrossFit video of OPT (Winner of 2007 CrossFit Games). he murders "Helen" in 6:59.
