Full extension, Mariessa. Wedding dress is not an excuse.
As CrossFitters we have the benefit of looking at the world with a whole new perspective. We walk by a concrete barrier or fence and have a strong desire to see if we can make the jump to the top. We pass a steep hill and wonder how fast we could sprint to the crest. We see a tree limb and have a serious urge to do a pull-up. We hike past a large rock and just have to try a deadlift or a clean. The world is our playground.
We look at lifting groceries, moving furniture and carrying luggage as a fun challenge instead of a chore. Ice chests are no longer a two-person task.
Hurry before the cave closes! Goonies never die!
When we normally pick up only one 5 gallon water bottle at a time, we attempt pick up two. If our grip isn’t strong enough to carry each by the neck, we try an alternative method: maybe clean one up onto a shoulder and carefully squat down to cradle the second bottle in the other arm.
If you add a camera to the mix, we now have to strike a CrossFit relevant pose. CrossFitters have taken pictures of handstands in front of national monuments, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower. I have seen photos of our kind overhead squatting surfboards, drift wood and tractor tires. How about L-sits on boulders in the back country and burpees on far away beaches?
Speaking of burpees: I challenge you to perform guerilla burpees whenever possible. A guerilla burpee is a normal burpee performed randomly in public at a restaurant, mall, concert, church, party, etc. The catch is that you have to get it on film and capture reactions of the innocent bystanders.
Submit all pics and videos of your personal fun and adventures to CFSB and we will proudly post on our website.
