"Suicide Frog"

Start with 3 KB's a small medium and a large. Pick up the small KB swing it's weight in pounds then clean and carry to ten yards and swing it's weight in pounds. Sprint back to start and swing the medium KB weight in pounds. Clean and carry 20 yards then swing it's weight in pounds. Sprint back to start and swing the large KB weight in pounds. Clean and carry 30 yards then swing it's weight in pounds. Sprint back to your small KB and swing it's weigh and then clean and carry 30 yards leap frogging the other 2 KB's. Swing it's weight and then sprint to your medium bell and swing repeat until all KB's are at the 40 yard mark then repeat the other direction. Say hi to Pukie.

One of the benefits of working out is prehab and rehab for our bodies. Let's face it our everyday life and activities are hard on our bodies. Couple that with the fact that gravity is slowly trying to crush us and aging is just a bitch. We need to take preventative measure to ensure our quality of life and longevity. Which brings me to CrossFit and fitness in general. Picture an arc with sickness and fitness at opposite ends with wellness in the middle. If we are NOT living our lives in that area between wellness and fitness we are dying, plain and simple. CrossFit does a good job of helping us live in that area between wellness and fitness. The relatively few short minutes of discomfort and pain we experience a day training have significant impact on our well being. It is a small price to pay for improving our quality of life.
Millions of people would rather live with pain and discomfort 23 hours a day instead of spending one hour a day taking care of their bodies.

Some people may see joining a CrossFit gym as a luxury, or that working out is for people with too much time on their hands. I have constantly heard "I don't have time to workout". This may truly be the case with a few people but for the rest of us it is just a matter of priorities. Anyone can find an excuse not to train. Find an excuse to train and make it a priority in your life; the benefits are worth it on so many levels.

Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

"Those who do not recognize the physiological import of CrossFit - unprecedented increases in work capacity across broad time and modal domains - are left with no rational explanation of CrossFit's popularity and reach. For these people I am typically seen as a marketing savant whose marketing strategies curiously won't replicate. It's like a blind guy wondering why everyone hangs out under lights at night." - Greg Glassman

Testimonials

  • Thank you for allowing me to train with you this summer. Being a football player at a Division 1 level I obviously want the best workout available to increase my performance. I have been doing conventional weightlifting for since I can remember and recently have not felt like it was increasing my performance as it should. Coming to Crossfit has been amazing. The high intensity workouts have made me more mentally tough, physically stronger, and able to endure more. Thank you for bringing me in, I believe in Crossfit all the way.

    My daughter and I started Crossfit 1 month ago, I already feel an increased sense of strength. I've always been physically active, growing up as a competitive gymnast and lately an avid runner. Tim's ability to push me through the mental and physical boundaries of each and every Crossfit class is incredible. I have also been participating in the Kettlebell program and Tim has made it constantly challenging, exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time. I love the fact that he is always on the lookout for proper form and is quick to correct you if need be. He continues to push us to work hard, use good form, and never forgetting to tell us that we are doing a good job. Thanks for the motivation, support and the extremely challenging workouts.
