Normally you don't get a warm-up in life. Each moment presses forward toward the next. We all CrossFit for own our personal and unique reasons; this type of training applies to our everyday, functional lives. Learning to work under the pressures of a continuously ticking clock, through pain and discomfort, and many other mental and physical stresses better prepares us for the real world.

This video is a great example of "real-world training" using the CrossFit methodologies. THIS WOD IS BAD-ASS!

Quick reminder: Make sure you check out the Zone workshop with Coach Travis on Saturday! It's only $50 for non-members and $40 for all CLE athletes. Don't forget to show up early for the WODs. The workshop starts immediately following the 11AM WOD. And rumor has it -- since it's a rest day -- Coach Travis might put everyone through one of his personal workouts! Be warned -- Trav is a beast!

Also, make sure you check out the NEW CrossFit CLE T-SHIRTS! Contact Luke for more details and to buy one:  luke@crossfitcle.com

Have a great weekend!
