Hey All,
So now I'm doing CrossFit. Any of you that know me, already know that I tend to like the extreme side of fitness. I don't mean zealotry that requires you devote your life to a particular fitness methodology, but moreso workout styles/routines that most folks simply can't keep up with. Call it the elitist in me. The problem is, for the past year or so, I've had that elite fitness void. Sure I've enjoyed the killer workouts of P90X and Insanity....but I really missed the community aspect. There's nothing like being around like-minded nutbags, willing to do workouts that they know full well, could result in nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, etc. I missed that. So after dallying with the idea of joining a Crossfit "box' for quite some time, I said this time it's gonna happen. Mind you, I have taken a CF course before. But with the chaotic nature of my previous employer, committing to any kind of schedule was next to impossible. So this past Tuesday, I jumped in. The first person I met was Chriss, who is also the Founder/Co-Owner of Trident. The man is an infectious ball of positive high-energy. Almost hard to believe he's a Former SEAL, and as such can kill you just as easily as high-fiving you, as he's known for doing (high-fiving, I mean).He has a very easygoing way about him, that belies the pain you're about to feel. After my baseline, I was hooked. I knew right then, I'd found a new home.
I've actually already suffered through my first WOD (Workout Of the Day), but going forward I'll be writing the blog in the evening, to document the morning's work. That way, I can get a better handle on how my body feels and document that as well. I'm also using this blog as a accountability tool. The current goal is 3 times a week, so if anyone that happens to read this notices only 1 or 2 posts, and we're on say Thursday, please feel to call me on it! I'd actually greatly appreciate it. With that being said, I'm in, and I'm ready to crush it........No Hands on Hips. Let's go!
