Sebastian Rieder is a Level 1 staff member out of CrossFit Vienna. He shares how he found CrossFit and how CrossFit has changed his life. For him, one of the most profound changes CrossFit has brought is improved health.
“I haven’t been ill, like I’ve had no flu, no sickness, no nothing for, like, three and half years now since I changed my diet a bit,” he says. “It’s just the whole thing. I’m hooked.”
Rieder coaches the air squat at a Level 1 Seminar and points out how to correct squatting flaws.
“The one big thing is he’s definitely moving too fast to feel what’s going on with his body,” he says of an athlete brought to the center of the circle.
He slows the athlete down and helps him find and maintain his lumbar curve during the squat.

Sebastian, the Austrian Beast, as Jami calls him :). I really enjoyed your teaching of both the theory and practice during CF-L1 training @ CrossFit Vienna last weekend. You are definitely a role model for newbies like me.
