Observations
Posted by CrossFit Cheshire on June 15th, 2011
As I drive to and from CFC every day, I can’t help but notice people jogging/running. It’s certainly a good thing that they are exercising and getting fresh air, but the bad thing is, they don’t look very fit.

“What CrossFit Has Taught Me”
Posted by CrossFit Cheshire on November 16th, 2010
“I worked out at the local “Globo Gym” today for the first time in a while since joining my local CrossFit. As I stood there surrounded by super skinny 115 lb women, I had a mini awakening. Pre-Crossfit, I would have compared myself to those women and been crabby for the rest of the day (god bless Kevin for staying with me through my ‘crazy’ days)” … [Read More]
“CrossFit Shapes Up Manama”
Posted by CrossFit Cheshire on September 24th, 2010
“… The RSO’s workout program is based on CrossFit training, a mix of short, high-intensity weightlifting, gymnastic, and cardiovascular activities. They challenge the body in many different ways rather than the long-duration, cardio-only routines that many people follow. Instead of an hour of jogging or swimming, a CrossFit workout might include rounds of pull-ups, rowing, sit-ups, and weights for score, all packed into 30 minutes …”
