My first experience with SHC CrossFit was the \"CrossFit Challenge\" Ben held for 3 months last year.
Before I tell you about the Challenge, let me say that I have been very active in sports throughout childhood and into my adult life. I conscientiously went to the gym three times a week for years - trying different gyms and different routines - and only managed to maintain my existing level of fitness. Then I heard Ben\'s presentation on CrossFit and decided it would be the key to my optimal fitness and enjoyment of my four grandkids into retirement.
Back to the Challenge - in three short months of 3-4 30-45 minute sessions - I experienced tremendous results - greatly increased strength and endurance AND reduced body fat from 38% to 24%! Who could argue with results like that - I was hooked! Ben Evans at SHC CrossFit is a very experienced, competent trainer that provides personalized instruction and encouragement - something else you don\'t get from your gym.
I challenge all you \"Boomers\" out there to get into CrossFit, get fit, and make the years ahead your best ever! You will not be disappointed......

Shoulders 3 days in a row? Mine are cashed…may be out or work on skills.
Use your legs and hips to drive the weight up, thrusters done right require less shoulder than you think

I agree some of it is getting a little retarded. I could see if this was a weekly pro sport but it’s not
That is so cool!!! I want to try some of those workouts!
I’d do well on WOD 1 & 3 WOD & 4 would pose issues
