Bob Harper Talks CrossFit
Between national TV commercials, the CrossFit Games airing on ESPN2, and celebrity endorsements, CrossFit is definitely getting a lot of publicity these days.
The video above is the latest celebrity endorsement of CrossFit. This is from Bob Harper, one of the biggest celebrity trainers out there. He plies his craft on the hit NBC show, the Biggest Loser. Turns out he trains at CrossFit Burn, a CF gym down in Hollywood.
Although skeptics may yell "cheese" at the sight of this video, the stuff Bob talks about (the community aspect of CrossFit, the workouts, the intensity, etc.) are the things that draw most people to CF. As long as this kind of publicity leads to people embracing a lifestyle that promotes health and fitness, I'm all for it.
Mike-I imagine the most dreamy part of the video for you was the superior chalking hands in bucket chalk etiquette. Although the wide shot of the gym did show some flaky white spots in need of vacuum attention.
Hey, Gang. Just a reminder about tomorrow's running clinic at 11am - we'll meet at Piedmont HS track down on the end field, opposite side of where the pole vault pit and long jump runways are. Wear your running shoes and bring a water bottle. Parking is best on Wildwood Ave.
...but someone should tell Mr. Harper that every time one of his clients drops an empty barbell from overhead, God kills a puppy. Not cool, man, not cool.
I thought it was sweet, no cheese.
But Tom gains another opportunity to demonstrate how to diagnose a bent barbell.
Is it dropping that bends 'em?
I've got a half-formed plan for a brief video on the use and abuse of equipment.
Yep. Although I think Connor bent one squatting or deadlifting something well north of 500 pounds a while back.
Crap! I owe you money...
I totally spaced this clinic this AM, doing weekend errands. I really, really wanted to go to this...
I hate my calendar software right now.
