I started going to the Next Generation Crossfit gym with Wade exactly 1 month ago today. I don’t have a before and after picture to share with everyone like Wade, but I will say that it is making dramatic differences in my life too. I was a college athlete and have gone through my share of grueling workouts, but crossfit is on a whole new level of fitness. It’s a cross between weight lifting, gymnastics, and endurance training. Every workout is different so your muscles are always confused about what’s coming next and you can never get bored. Each workout consists of reps and rounds of different movements (i.e. deadlifts, pullups, lunges, pushups, situps, squats, etc.) The trainer says “ready, set, go” and we all compete against the clock to post our best time for that workout. I have lost over 10 pounds in a month and more importantly I am getting much stronger. In fact during yesterday’s workout I finally beat Wade !!! This is no small accomplishment and I probably won’t be able to do it again for a long time. I’m finally feeling like a real “Crossfitter”; I started filing the callouses on my hands, I’m doing real pushups (and lots of them), kipping pullups are in sight, and I beat Wade for the first time !!!!! I love crossfit !!!
Charles and I have talked about doing this. Yall have inspired us!
let me know when you are up for the 6 AM cross fit and we will go. ok? good. (age is not an excuse for not getting up early…)
Just finished my intro and baseline workout (13:03) with Eric. I have an entirely new respect for what you do there! I’m shaking and winded. What an awesome workout. Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe I’ll see you in a class some day soon.
