The Fittest Man Alive. 2010 Crossfit Games Champion, Graham Holmberg.
The Crossfit Games were held this weekend, and we have new champions. Graham Holmberg, pictured above, and Kristin Clever took home the titles of world’ s fittest man and woman.
The Crossfit Games are an interesting thing. They have grown rapidly, from 50 competitors at a ranch in 2007 to being held on a modern sports facility and streamed live over the internet. Crossfit is an excellent program for fitness; the best I have ever used. It makes people stronger, more flexible, lighter. It makes people better.
Crossfit as a fitness program and Crossfit the sport are not the same thing. I think the Games are an excellent representation of our program, but what I witnessed over the internet is nothing short of amazing. The effort the athletes put forth was amazing. The skill they had acquired in so many movements was tested in so many ways that it would make you wonder how you can ever get to that level.
The truth is, we don’t have to. Again, Crossfit is a training program. Just learning and executing the functional movements that Crossfit prescribes, safely and efficiently, will give us the good stuff we need.

What’s the process of bringing a friend into Crossfit for a workout? I have 3 different friends interested. 1 with mixed gym background (martial arts), another that’s just athletic and basic/intermediate gym knowledge, and the 3rd with beginner/intermediate gym knowledge. I’m unsure as to any…
They did a great job with the live webcast.
