Before I discovered CrossFit, I was really just doing regular bodybuilding, didn't understand athletic training and movements. I didn't even know how to squat, necessarily.
I run on the beach in the mornings. I've also immensely enjoyed CrossFit with Dheepesh Bhatt.
I use CrossFit to glorify God with the talents he's given.
The CrossFit program is broad, general and inclusive, and most of all, the movements can be scaled down to any level of athlete. Just watch what I do with it on 'The Biggest Loser.'
I have found that CrossFit has made me more fit than I have ever been.
I work out every day, and I challenge myself. I've got a couple of friends who do CrossFit; I'm not a huge CrossFit guy, but I love the challenge.
Everyone wants to look good, but with CrossFit you get so much more besides looking good.
CrossFit is amazing if you can leave your ego at the door.
One of the pillar ideas of how CrossFit thinks of physical fitness is how competent an individual is at cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, accuracy, agility, and balance.
I actually found CrossFit on a run from my house in Orange County. I moved around with it for a while, which is the best part about it. I love it, but it was something I did because I enjoyed the camaraderie aspect of it, not so much the competing side of it.
No matter who you are, how much money you make, or what kind of clothes you are wearing, CrossFit will force you to come face-to-face with your imperfections
The pre-CrossFit Rich Froning was a wuss.
I'm a pretty active person. I love yoga, crossfit, Zumba, and got to get that occasional hike in at Runyon Canyon when I can. I also love mentoring youth.
CrossFit is just another thing I've become passionate about. I like to continue to make gains and compete with myself. There's many ways to do that either with adding weight or competing with my own times or my previous records. It's been nothing but a benefit to me, and I love lifting weights.
The CrossFit games, the four-time Fittest Man on Earth isn't about me. It's about Him and the talents that I've been given. It's my way to glorify Him through what I do.
Luckily, I found CrossFit. I do a lot more legs now - that's for sure.
I truly think the secret to the effectiveness of CrossFit is the community side of it: People suffer together, accomplish together, and support each other along the way.
What I realized was that CrossFit wasn't what defined me as a human being, it was the sacrifice that Christ made for me and all of us that defined who I was.
As the issue of youth fitness - from obesity to proper exercise regimens - takes on more resonance in schools and communities across the country, CrossFit Kids and other preschool fitness programs are raising questions about when and how children should start playing organized sports or hitting the gym.
I've never SoulCylcled or CrossFit-ed. That sounds terrifying to me!
Guys don't get as many physical compliments as women do. Tell him his CrossFit habit is paying off. He'll work double time to impress you.
I like a lot of things about yoga - its an intro to good music; with each good teacher you study with, you learn a lot about them personally; it's not just about specific technique or poses. I also like Shavasana - not too many exercise routines let you nap at the end of them. You don't see nap pods in CrossFit gyms.
CrossFit prepares you for real life.
I put way too much pressure on myself and put too much into CrossFit. It had become who I was. That's really when I figured out I don't want my identity to be CrossFit.
I'm completely of the opinion that anybody can do CrossFit.
I loved CrossFit before I even competed, I was just doing CrossFit. It was a completely different thing. You learn a lot about yourself and the people around you when you do it.
I've done everything - weight-lifting, Pilates, crossfit, martial arts, gymnastics - but I think the most important workout, at least for me these days, is a mental one.
CrossFit really teaches the basics and fundamentals of proper mechanical movement.
I had a CrossFit trainer for two weeks. I fired him.
When I was first introduced to CrossFit, I found it to be the hardest workout that I'd ever done. It wiped the floor with me, and I fell in love with it immediately. The results that I have seen in my strength and physicality have been unparalleled to any other things I have ever done in my more than 20 years in the fitness business.
The way CrossFit is - anyone, on any given day, could beat you.
It's kind of a negative connotation that CrossFit gets. It's all dependent on the person and it has to be scaled accordingly.
You don't want to be sore when you're running. So I wouldn't suggest you train for a marathon and do CrossFit at the same time; the two don't align with one another. When you're a runner, your body builds the muscle where it needs to build muscle.
For anyone beginning CrossFit I would say find a local affiliate and get there. They have coaches and a community set up.
I started CrossFit before WrestleMania 33, and it's helped my body get a lot stronger.
In the House gym - I go every day, in fact; I'm part of a bipartisan workout group. There's one that does this P90X that's kind of like dancing around and whatnot. And then there's one that does CrossFit. And I'll just say Paul Ryan and I are not in the same workout group.
CrossFit is a very humbling sport and you can be really good at something and look like an idiot doing another movement. It's a nasty thing, but it makes it a little more fun.
I was a strength coach for over a year where our teams used CrossFit, and our football team won their first conference championship in 36 years!
The most important part of any CrossFit workout is posting about it endlessly on social media. How about you just brag about all the kettlebell burpees you did to the other whackos in your cult?
CrossFit is all about constantly-varied, high-intensity movements. And to do these movements, you have to have a certified coach to take you through this - or any type of physical activity.
Everyone always asks if I'm going to 'make my kids do CrossFit.' I'll never make them do anything. I will, however, make sure that they're physically active in some way, that they'll play some type of sport or do gymnastics or dance or something.
The Tae-Bo guy has a good body on him. I believe in evolution as far as lifting and training and building muscle. I was doing functional movement before CrossFit was ever a thing. I was playing football, doing platform lifts, all kinds of wacky kettle-bell stuff before kettle bells were kettle bells.
CrossFit really helped me with mental toughness, which I really appreciate. It also gave me this network of people cheering me on, which is incredible.
I know Seth Rollins is a CrossFit guy. I just think back to my days, and I don't know how I could have done CrossFit training and then wrestled that night.
My husband and I own a CrossFit Gym. Crossfit is perfect for me because it's always competitive, all the workouts are in a class environment, and it's different every day. It's a constantly varied functional fitness workout done with intensity.
I like CrossFit. I agree with a lot of their coaching tips and the foundation of functional movements and hard work. They embody all that stuff. But I also think there's a bit of a cult following within the CrossFit community, a bit of a fraternity, which obviously creates a bias and a little bit of a tunnel vision.
A lot of people who do CrossFit eat a strict paleo diet, but I don't subscribe to any specific way of eating. If you burn enough calories, you don't need to.
Over the course of three years or so, I've been able to create a nice little Rolodex of CrossFit gyms. I've ingratiated myself to the community, and that allows for a much more accessible training session as far as privacy is concerned.
Since I started CrossFit, I've read and heard about the critics talk about how unsafe it is, and my only response to that is any form of exercise can be unsafe if you don't have the proper coaching, education and guidance.
In CrossFit I really I stood out because I made all my outfits.
To get down on the ground and get yourself up for an extended period of time at 245 lbs... that takes a lot. When you see those CrossFit guys, none of them weigh 245, I can assure you of that.
I want to show people how to do this at an exceptional level whether they are a competitor, a CrossFit strongman or someone who just wants to do strongman workouts at home.
I think CrossFit is highly beneficial to any athlete, in any sport.
In 2010, I put CrossFit on a pedestal and then, when I failed at it and got second, it was hard for me.
The type of work I do is more like CrossFit, so I do track workouts, and I do boxing workouts. So it's a lot of different things that I do. I don't want to overload the body too much, but when we do the hill, it's not like workouts.
I am a big supporter of the CrossFit community and enjoy helping people gain a better understanding of the CrossFit style of workouts.
I believe in a combination of exercises like yoga and Crossfit.
I do a lot of gym circuits; a bit like CrossFit or HIIT sessions, so just 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. Circuits are a good fat-burner but they also work your heart and lungs.
Me and my cousin started doing CrossFit in my barn; I haven't looked back since.
I've been to CrossFit affiliates all over the world and the programming varies, the coaches are different, but it feels the same. Always welcoming, always fun. Whereas with a regular gym you go in, put your headphones on and don't talk to anybody.
