Revved Engine
Hello!
I am Brad Thompson. I live in Northwest Alabama. My purpose for blogging is mostly limited to keeping a record of my progress into the world of Crossfit.
Around three years ago, I ran across the crossfit site. I was considering the idea of writing a program which gave me a random workout from a list of workouts. I decided that, before I reinvented the wheel, I might better see if one already existed. I found crossfit. I was excited at first - followed by huge intimidation (read a few of the workouts - 50 pullups?!?!). I turned and ran. Then I came back - and ran again. I couldn't quit watching the site. They are an amazing group of people with an amazing program.
Somewhere along the way (in Spring - 2007), I found the Simplefit site. In April of 2007 I started the program there. My logs are posted in the forum there as volleyball_man (read them). I now can do pullups! Thanks to simplefit (Kevin McKay). Simplefit helped me rev my engine!
I am now at a point where what was the great thing about simplefit as a beginner is the very reason I have to move on (bye simplefit!) I need the variation and unpredictability of crossfit which was my first wish. Don't get me wrong here - Kevin McKay has offered some alternate workouts on his wonderful site. If the unpredictable nature of crossfit doesn't fit your life or if you need a less-daunting entry into bodyweight exercise/functional fitness - check out simplefit. Be sure and tell 'em volleyball_man sent you!
Now, I begin a new path - with a revved engine!
