“I am a competitive bodybuilder. Marathon workouts of each body part, attacking every muscle with 30-40 sets. Three hours of aerobic activity each day. Manipulate water and sodium until I was ripped out. Then I would get onstage - and lose.”

I played professional football, which was no walk in the park, but, I tell you, CrossFit is hard. The mental demands of hitting the variety of workouts that CrossFit prescribes are as challenging as anything I've done. All through high school, I remember working out as hard as I could every day.

Andrew Astalos, an athlete at Motor City CrossFit, has recently astounded us with some of his performances in the world of speedskating. At 13 years of age, in the middle of Michigan's winter, he elected to skip his family's long- planned Caribbean vacation and instead travel to Lake Placid to compete in the U.S. National Long Track Speedskating Championships.
It's a good thing he did, because that… Continue Reading

In 2006 I was referred to CrossFit.com to check out a workout called "Nasty Girls." At the time, I wasn't sure if I should open a video with that name in a public room. Well, what I found was probably more shocking than what I expected: a workout prescribing multiple rounds of fifty air squats backed up by "crazy" muscle-ups and power cleans, all done with strength, intensity, and perseverance by… Continue Reading
