CrossFit has a well deserved reputation for growing superhuman performance with individuals who live, eat and breath training - weighing every gram of protein, carefully journalling every workout, memorizing the details of every aspect of the CF culture. I call them firebreathers, and I respect the hard work they sustain to create rare levels of athleticism. And then there are people I class as functional athletes - working out two, three, maybe four times a week, looking to wedge training time for a broad, inclusive, general level of fitness in the middle of a busy schedule. Not all that mindful of records and comparisons to other people's performance, not ramping up for the CF games, just seriously aware that the road ahead is best taken with strength, power, endurance, etc.
Here's one: Chris G - teacher, mother, wife, and classy addition to the group with a background in dance. She's embracing intensity with deadlifts and farmer's carries to develop and maintain BIG (broad, inclusive, general) health. We love having Chris in the group.
