Whatever your 100% looks like give it when doing CROSSFIT !!!!

I welcome you to the community of people who have decided that easy will no longer suffice.

Today I whole squatedly….oops heartedly want to write about my close knit Crossfit community – my friends who work out with me at CrossfitforSure (http://crossfitforsure.com/)

I worked out at gym, did yoga, tried running but all of them failed to keep me engaged  after heavily
preparing for all these activities by buying new clothes, new shoes, sweat bands, knee caps etc. only 1 week of irregular classes was enough to drive me away from them.  How intelligent of me that I always took at least 6 months membership because I thought:
  1. It will save me money  - that is what the gym receptionist explained to me and convinced me that EVERYONE in this whole wide world always took a 6 month membership at the least
  2. I might just go out of guilt, that I have spent so much money so I better go and make some use of it.

 But nothing worked – and then Crossfit walked into my life (aaaa aaa aaa Kabhi khushi kabhi gammmmm)……..so what is Crossfit?

Hi !! My Name is Crossfit.....
Imagine a hunk whom you have a secret crush on and everyone who has ever talked to that hunk thinks he is an amazing guy and you keep asking your friends for more information about him ……but you don’t want to talk to him because you think he has too much attitude and you might as well start hating him after talking to this snob, but then one day your friend introduces you to this hunk and you kind of like him but at the same time you hate him because he makes you feel so inferior – because he is so good. So you meet him again because you want to prove to him that you are much better than what he thinks you are……..and then you meet him again and again and one day you fall in love and you get into a long term relationship with the hunk. His name is Crossfit.
Ok that was crap ….you can just Google about crossfit or you can visit: https://www.crossfit.com/ to know more about it.

We at CrossfitForSure are a close knit family of different types of Crossfitters.  

Crossfit Diva – She is an inspiration, not just to the women but the men too. She is very good at all kind of workouts – she finishes the workout first – sabse first – no. 1 always.  Many of us want to be able to work out like her and we are not at all jealous of her. God Promise – no jealousy.

KidSupermen – These young brats are so awesome. Suno Beta – we didn’t have Crossfit at your age. OK !! and pay attention to studies also !!
They fly at box jumps and swim during Lunges. And when we are sweating out – BUCK FURPEES – they will be sitting on the box cheering us “It’s not the age, it’s just in your mind, so don’t give up”.


Numerologist – They believe in the divine and mystical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events. Multiple Reps coincide for them in one attempt - like one rope jump = 2/3 reps. Due to their numerology powers they control time - and are always ahead of it. They finish a 6 minute workout in 3.5 minutes. Amazing !!

Elegator – Madame doesn’t look her age at all. She gives all the girls jitters for she wears her age so elegantly and carries out all her roles effortlessly – be it a Mom, a crossfitter, a party host or just a friend.

Negotiators: We have no dearth of Cute Negotiators who will make sure they workout and they make everyone feel that they have done THE WOD only after they have it on the board on their terms and conditions. “Instead of 1 round of running I will do 2 rounds of walking, Instead of 15 reps of 24 inch box jump I will do 18 reps of 20 inch box, Since I am only 3 months old – I will do 10 reps instead of 20”

Men in Class: Yes we have very classy men, men of Indian origin brought up in UK who carried their class and accent back to India, the Lady Charmers – they make sure the ladies of the box get priority, when everyone is talking about the WOD on the watsapp group they will send “Happy Woman Day “message, and the Party Lovers - they host pool parties at their lavish house and make sure all arrangement is done in class.

Rival Party: Oh No no, we no make no enemy, enemy make us. Ok Whatever it means but we have these special kind of creatures whose neck is never straight. They are always looking towards the left or right. So if you want to take their side profile picture you will have to stand in front of them. You know what I mean …….. coz they are always looking on their left or right side, because they are checking out how many reps the other one has done.

Customary Xfitters:  They come; They work out; They Leave. Period.

All of them and the squats , the thrusters, the burpees, the box jumps, rope climbs and yadayadayada 
make Crossfit a part of my daily routine. And what makes CrossfitForSure part of my daily routine are the wonderful coaches Saara and Waseem. “Coaching is taking the player where he can’t take himself”. Thank you Saara and Waseem for not letting the WOD be just some numbers on the board but for standing right next to us and calling every attempt a NO REP.
