One of the older men fell back along with the two kettlebells, which fortunately only weighed 4 kg each. But even that the instructor led, incredibly, not to finish his phone call and see to the fallen men, who had done nothing to chance. The phone call went well over the last 15 minutes of the course and continue the way he left us then - as he telephoned - and said that we should if we are interested, but at the counter to pick up the nice young lady a contract.
beginner workout
I went first into the locker room, which incidentally was very large by American standards and even had decent showers, I took a shower from short, got dressed and went to the counter. I talked a bit with the young lady that the course would be not quite true for me, both the manual and on the intensity of what it was a pity.
I chatted for a while with her, told her that I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Grappling at a relatively high level and introduced me to CrossFit a little more, what business could understand it immediately. They offered me, I recommend to the Head of the Group for CrossFit athletes of elite levels further. I was skeptical, but I gave her my mobile number and that she should leave me then please send a message or contact me.
We saw her the bad conscience of the face, for which they actually could not and did not need to have. I smiled at her once charming and left the studio at the same time as the older gentleman who had the "little" accident. I ask him if everything was OK, he replied in the affirmative, whereupon parted our ways. Car, my bag in and to go shopping.
Time Lapse
Shopping in WalMart and organic mart, the cart is full and I am standing at the meat counter to get my weekly 6 pounds to buy fillet steak, because the vibration alert makes my iPhone noticeable.
I look at the screen and do not know the number. Take off and actually have the nice ladies at the counter of the gym on the line. It gives me the phone number of a certain Marcus, which the coaches of the group would be athletes for CrossFit. Then she said that the next group starts at 14 clock and gives me the associated Adresse.Ich thank you very much and she hangs up.
Well then let's see if I have a second shock for doing to this day. I continued looking at the clock, equal to one, purchasing, while I am standing at the checkout, I feed Google Maps on the iPhone with the address and comes to the fore an industrial area near Anaheim, but then what arouses my interest.
Shopping carted home, unloaded, new sports gear invited pressed woman kiss on the cheek and on it went.
After about 40 minutes I arrive at the said address and can already upset from a distance, to my delight people, the tractor tires. At that time I did not know that the best discovery well was the next 2 months before me. I drive on the industrial site, which measures about 100x100m and set off my car with the others, grab my gym bag, get out and walk towards the people who are at a small warehouse and are diligent at work.
The closer I get, the more attention I draw well for me. A handsome man in his early 30 comes up to me and seems to be well informed about my coming. He greets me with a hearty handshake as I rarely get it (and that is to say to me where) and introduces himself.
It's Marcus, who was recommended to me by the nice counter lady. He shows me just the location, the sight of me almost the jaw can be folded down. A warehouse equipped with several weightlifting platforms, lots of ropes, kettlebells, weight plates, rings dangling from the ceiling, rowing machines and much more. I'm really speechless for some seconds, which happens to me very rarely.
He shows me just the purist locker room and throws me a combination lock for the locker. I move around and go out. Marcus introduced me to the illustrious circle mixed age shortly before by name, then I introduce myself briefly, what I do, how I got here and I will kindly received.
Chat with some people briefly note that there are athletes out of 14 people nearly a dozen college, three football and the rest of wrestlers. I can hide my joy hardly had a satisfied smile on his lips as Marcus with not just low voice says providing that it goes off, 6 rounds easily run around the warehouse and then 4 x 100m sprints in the parking lot "to get the engine on work temperature "he exclaims, which is then promptly executed.
I talk a bit with Marcus alongside the warm-up for the sprints and experience so that it was 10 years in the Marines and stop there, unfortunately due to a "work accident" as he called it, had to. When I asked about the accident, he smiled slightly and said that a grenade had gone off close to his ears in Afghanistan. He had been carrying heavy injuries but his left ear is deaf to 85%. Thereafter, the sprints were it, it sprinted per 2 people, the others had break
.
After two passes were Marcus and my turn ..
