As some of you may know, I started CrossFit this week! For those of you who are unfamiliar with CrossFit, it is a principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. CrossFit delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Their specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

Monday, January 10th starts the “Slim into Spring” challenge at CrossFit BlackBox here in Tallahassee, and (for those who know my competitive nature know) I am ALL IN! The challenge is seven weeks long, so we will see if there are any major improvements in the next few weeks – if nothing else, it will keep me busy, occupied, and something else to be excited about and look forward to while David is training =)
I decided to do CrossFit because I got bored with the same old routine workout in a “regular” gym, lifting weights and endleeeeeeeeess cardio…I travel A LOT so it was difficult to keep up my routine workouts while traveling (which set me up for failure when I got back to town). CrossFit offers quick workouts (comparatively speaking to what I am used to doing) and they have Workout of the Days (or WODs) that can be done by people that travel A LOT – just like me! Again, just an example of their specialty: NOT specializing! =)
As the next seven weeks progress, I will be sure to include updates on the Challenge, and of course, on DAVID =)
