CrossFit Endurance

Summer is right around the corner (though here in Oregon the weather is anything but warm) and while most people are thinking about how much time they are going to be spending outside and in the sun (and how cute their outfits are going to be). I'm trying to find the best possible way to get fit enough to participate in Tough Mudder in mid-September. Not to mention, the police departments physical agility tests I want to ace-not just pass but ace.

I follow some great fitness sites on Facebook and Competitor Running had a posting for a 12 week CrossFit Endurance workout routine and it got me thinking why not. Why not put all my workout efforts for the next 12 weeks into seeing what it can do for me. I don't really have anything to lose, well except weight maybe so for the next 12 weeks I am going to give it my best shot. I am also using the website CrossFit Endurance and I really think it is going to make a drastic change for me. I really like their lifestyle and what they stand for, it's realistic and well rounded fitness but it is not easy. I'm not looking for a quick fix, an easy answer or the easy way out. I want to work hard and prove that I still have what it takes and that when the dust settles I can be in the best shape of my life even better than I was before. My goal is fitness and health for life.

Crossfit in general has become the workout mantra for me. I recommend it to everyone I talk to about fitness because it is about overall strength and endurance not just one thing. Most training programs are sport specific or a certain exercise specific like running or biking but CrossFit is overall fitness to create a well rounded athlete that can kick ass. I challenge anyone who reads my blog to give it a try for 12 weeks, that's it, just 12 weeks of your life and see where it takes you. You just might be surprised...
