October 25, CrossFit Workout of the Day

I know we’ve posted this speech before, but it happens to be St Crispin’s Day, made famous by Shakespeare in Henry V.  We want you to have your own chance to be heroic, and will be doing one of the most challenging hero workouts, in honor of the 7 CIA agents killed in Afghanistan.


Martyrdom of Crispin and Cripinian by Aert van den Bossche, 1494

September 15, First Time

Do you remember the first time you did a CrossFit workout?  You may have felt your first attempt was an abject failure, but you came back.  In time, your work capacity improved.  We all start somewhere. 

Remember the first time you did an unscaled workout, got your first pull-up, or your first body weight overhead squat.  CrossFit gives you the chance for firsts, which leads to increased confidence and ability.

Everyone started exactly where they were.  It sounds redundant, but it helps to remember where you came from.   The world’s fittest people may be gifted athletes, but they train hard and dare to test themselves against steel and the iron wills of others.

CrossFit itself started small, with a single post on a nascent internet.  In 2007 the CrossFit Games came into being.  Only four years later, the games are now televised on ESPN2 and the winners receive $250,000.  Every Wednesday you can watch the games on ESPN2.  Get inspired!

23 August, Ancient CrossFitters

While visiting the Ring o’ Brodgar on Orkney Island north of Scotland, Turbo made an important archeological discovery–the neolithic Orkadians were actually CrossFitters! 

There has been much debate about the purpose of neolithic circle henges.  The REAL purpose of the stone henges becomes quickly apparent to a CrossFit coach.  Here we have two examples ANCIENT CrossFitters–Turbo on his 40th Birthday doing a WOD at a CrossFit gym built between 2500-2000 B.C.

Workout of the Day

“Chelsea”

Every minute on the minute perform

  • 5 pull-ups
  • 10 push-ups
  • 15 squats

Can you continue for thirty minutes? Twenty minutes? How about 10? Post results to comments. If you fall behind the clock keep going for thirty minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

If you’ve finished all 30 minutes of the workout before, add +1 to each exercise, i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute, and see if you can go the full thirty minutes. We’ve seen +3. Any +4′s?
