Crossfit Games

Over the summer I had started going to crossfit classes at the crossfit gym by my house, but haven't gotten to go very much anymore since I started school. This weekend though I was able to go watch the crossfit games that happened at the gym I went to. For those of you that don't know what crossfit is,

"CrossFit describes its strength and conditioning program as “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement," with the stated goal of improving fitness (and therefore general physical preparedness), which it defines as "work capacity across broad time and modal domains."
Workouts are typically short—20 minutes or less—and intense, demanding all-out physical exertion. They combine movements such as sprinting, rowing, jumping rope, climbing rope, flipping tires, weightlifting, carrying heavy objects, and many bodyweight exercises; equipment used includes barbells, dumbbells, gymnastics rings, pull-up bars, kettlebells, medicine balls, and boxes for box jumps."

Check out these photos and videos I took while at the crossfit games this weekend. They can definitely motivate you to  workout, especially since the new year is coming. Start a resolution to get fit and maybe crossfit!
