Every day, we give you guys tons of information on CF/nutrition/movement, but today is a day to think, so here is a little post-weekend, Monday-morning-avoiding-work-need-a-distraction question… Truly take a second to think about it: why do you do CrossFit??
Nathan likes to find things that he is bad at and work to be better
Possible Choices (choose any/all that apply and feel free to add your own):
- Because it is a cult, and they won’t let me leave without drinking the cool-aid
- Because I want to get in shape
- Because I want to get in better shape
- Because I want to get in the best shape of my life
- Because I am masochistic
- Because I want to get better at my sport
- Because I want to become more fit
- Because I want to get better at CrossFit
- Because I want to live longer
- Because I want to find things I suck at, and then work to suck less
- Because I like somebody to push me
- Because I like people to compete against
- Because I want to stay safe and injury free
- Because I want a coach to critique my form
- Because I like hard workouts
- Because I want a place to hang out with like-minded people
- I don’t do CrossFit
- Because I haven’t found anything better
- Because it is the closest gym to my house
- Because my spouse makes me
- Because my friends guilt me into doing it
- Because I like to have facebook statuses that only other CrossFitters understand
- Because I like to sweat
- Because I like taking my shirt off
- Because I like to meet new people
- Because I am addicted
- Because the people at the Games looked like badasses
- Because everyone is doing it
- Because I saw it in a fitness magazine
- Because I can drink more beer/wine/tequila when I do CrossFit

Personally; Crossfit is brilliant work out plan. I am know thinking better form and efficiency in everything that I do.

You forgot one: 31. Crossfitters can bring their dogs and babies to the gym…I love dogs and babies.
22. I love the responses from non-crossfitters.
#32 because “Blue Steel” looked really similar to “Crossface.” …And I needed help with ambi-turning.
Brian Catalano: #24
I hate you Adj…
Constance – #33: because I work from home and need to socialize!!
2,3,4,7,8,9,11,12,14,15,16,
Adjmal #42 So I can go to the beach
Orig it was 4, 11, 14…but now it’s those plus 8, 10, 16, and 26. Oh and #40…because I feel like crap on the days I don’t get to go to CFSB!
Personally, it is now #1 and #1 only… I think all you crazy CF’ers would come hunt me down if I left!!
