Not knowing what is going to happen is a scary thought. That could go with anything school, your job, or your life in general. The Reebok CrossFit games are all about the unexpected, the unknowable, and with that you have to train for anything and everything. Rich Froning is a four-time consecutive Reebok CrossFit champion, but during the writing of this book he's only talking about his first two, which was in 2011 and 2012. I got enjoyment out of reading this autobiography of Rich Froning’s experience at the Games; because it showed his development before CrossFit, it showed me what mental capability, you have to be at to even make it to the games, and finally I related to it due to my love for the sport. Rich Froning was a normal guy who graduated high school not knowing what he wanted to do with his life. Because of this he attended college for baseball, which he barely stayed two months because he didn't enjoy it. He worked with his dad in a factory working on an assembly line. Rich Froning was even a firefighter for a time, although he enjoyed being a firefighter the most he again felt God had …show more content…
Even though I'm conscious of my future, I might register for the CrossFit games later on down the road. The Froning's have experienced grievances along with praise as a family. Through all the downs though the family managed to keep their faith strong; however, with Rich Froning his faith seemed to grow stronger. At the beginning he was always asking what could God do for him? Now it is more of what can he do to spread the word about God. I've never been the type of person to speak to God or even read the Bible, but Froning has made me feel like it’s more important to him than his life. There is more to life than fitness, but for the most part it is the greatest lifestyle. Life is about taking that extra step and I think Rich Froning has accomplished

I could really connect with this because you can’t always be focused on the outcome of the game or match. Instead, you should focus on the process, or the “journey” that it takes to get to that point, and you should enjoy it and give it everything you have. As the book states it, during the journey “the true joy and challenge lies in pursuing ongoing personal growth, loving the pursuit, and living the various textures of your life.” So what can we take from this quote? What I took from it was that the real enjoyment of the journey comes from seeing yourself improve and grow as an athlete and a person, and also to be balanced, and have fun in other areas of your life as well. I can relate to this because in the past I used to get so caught up in the potential outcome of the future, and my thoughts would become negative because I would worry so much. I would get so caught up that I would totally ignore just how much I had been improving over that period of time, which would kill my performance. But that’s why it’s the past, right? For the past 3 years I have been keeping a daily log of all my goals, outcome, performance, and process, and I’ve also been keeping a daily journal of what has been on my mind, and how my day went. It allows me to literally see how much I’ve grown as an

One of the many reasons Rich Froning is considered to be a great American is because of his career as an athlete in CrossFit. Froning tried CrossFit for fun in 2009, in his garage (Froning 34). He just tried something new, without knowing how far it would take him. A simple suggestion from a friend would soon become a key presence in his life. In 2010, Froning entered in a competition, to see how he compared to the other CrossFitters (Froning 51). He did surprisingly well at the competition. Everyone there was dumbfounded by his performance. Suddenly, a new athlete had emerged and had a very noteworthy competition. All of the days in his garage earned Froning the title, “Fittest Man on Earth” four consecutive years (Schlinger). Earning that

CrossFit is an intense exercise program that features high-intensity workouts. CrossFit athletes perform dynamic exercises like Olympic lifts and plyometric jumps. This workout program uses non-traditional equipment such as sand-bags, kettlebells, water-filled implements and suspension systems. Participants are challenged to do a certain number of repetitions in a workout in a specific time frame. These workouts are intense and involve very fast movements. Agility, flexibility, balance and power are all important concepts in CrossFit workouts. Due to the intensity and precise movements involved in a CrossFit workout, this type of exercise must be performed on a reliable and stable
I stop exercising six months ago and realized how much it impacts my day to day performance. When I used to work out I would just go to the gym and follow a strict schedule, doing the same exercises week after week. My schedule was as follows, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I would perform squats, bench presses, and bent over rows. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would do deadlifts, overhead press, dips, and pullups. After a while it gets very boring, and I stopped pushing myself to my limits. One of my friends had been telling me to try CrossFit and initially I was not sure I wanted to get into CrossFit, because all the people I have met that did CrossFit let it take over their lives. It is almost like a cult. On February 2,2018 I did my first WOD at Rocktown CrossFit in Harrisonburg Virginia. A WOD is an acronym for workout of the day. The workouts are usually only thirty minutes long, but we warm up as a group, so every time I go to the gym I am there for

Since the beginning of time, humans have found ways to alter their bodies. Mostly due to cultural influences, we adapt to what seems culturally desirable. Currently in Africa, women stretch their necks to bizarre lengths for an increase in social status (Gluckman). In America, anyone doing this to their bodies would be viewed as a nut job. This is due to the different social views around the world. Throughout history, different types of body alteration have been adopted or done away with. Weight lifting, which has been around for centuries, is a very popular form of body alteration.
