Looks like this little fella in his pretty red and white booty shorts missed his Aerobic Dancing Championships life calling and settled for life on the bench as a Semi-Pro CrossFitter. Oh, what might have been?

    Did anyone else see a young Bill Abbott in that video? It actually reminded of the 4pm WOD on any given day. However, I think this could be incorporated into the final WOD for HOA5.

  3. Donald Said,

    Definitely had some 4p flavor in it. Honestly one of the best videos I have ever seen. The best part is to remind yourself, especially during the individual men’s announcement, is that they are dead frickin serious with what they are doing. Words can’t explain how much I love this!!!

    That video is awesome!!!!

    PSA- to my CrossFit family cold & flu season is here and upon us….
    If you or your children don’t feel good PLEASE don’t come to the gym. If you are at the gym wiping off ALL of your equipment would be great too.

    Thanks,

    Your friend who is starting to feel better but staying out of the gym just in case.
    ;)

    My prayer tonight is that Murphy and Gaines don’t look at the 2013 games video and laugh their arses off like I just did with this gem! A good reminder that we should never take ourselves too seriously…or else! We will be having a high kick competition tomorrow for each warm up . This might be the only thing I can totally beat everyone at. Except Grant. Damn those are some long legs.

  6. Kristy Taylor Said,

    WOW! That video is inspirational! Looks like I’ve got the warm-up figured out!
    Christin! This WOD is perfect for you! Good luck with your new pull-up skills!!! So proud of you, let me know how it goes!

    Grant? LOVE your style. DON’T EVER CHANGE!

  7. lilly Said,

    Have no idea what archive some of these videos come from? I’m thinking it’s the same place Grant found those shorts…Entertainment at its finest!

    33:23 at 85lbs rather than 95, all else rx.

  8. Grant Said,

    To everyone in attendance at the couples challenge, I apologize. Especially the women and children. There are some things you should NEVER be subjected to. For instance, me wearing those shorts. Melissa knew what she was getting into when she signed on the dotted line, but the rest of you all just wanted to watch a good crossfit competition.
    And anyone wanting to know our strategy for the last WOD, I’ll be happy to share it with you. It was a little plan I called “Go Melissa”.

    Couples Challenge was a ton of fun, I really enjoyed watching everyone from CFS compete. And I completely agree with Grant’s strategy for the final WOD…… especially the last 15 minutes……..GO TEAM KARA! (Clift, just get out of my way)
    p.s. If there is an award handed out for the ugliest tap and go snatch, I fully expect to win it!

  10. ronna Said,

    The Couples Challenge was a blast even being subjected to Grant’s attire (Nice panties as my 9 year old told him) and Clift’s ugly snatch (not Kara). I think Brian had the same philosophy on the last WOD! It must have been some pre planned conspiracy!

    I am quite thrilled to report that both Brian and I got our first consecutive bar muscle ups in the final WOD! Not once but twice!!

  11. DBeebe Said,

    Gotta love the 80′s. Brought us some great ideas like aerobic competitions, tight rolled jeans, parachute pants, hair bands, ALF, Top Gun…. I could go on and on. Best decade by far. I almost forgot, Richard Simons was big in the 80s. I am pretty sure that is who loaned Grant those shorts!

    Public service announcement from the Aerobics Video:

    Don’t do Meth ;-)

    I remember today why I hated todays WOD. Quite a grinder.

    25:50 rx today.

    Looks like I missed my calling this weekend and blew my chance to wear some short shorts. Damn. Well another hold up was that I needed someone else to be my partner. That might go hand in hand, me liking to wear tight shorts and not having a girlfriend. Hmmmm. Something to think about.

    Bill Abbott keep your shirt on brother.

    Donald. I saw you blow out those sit ups today. Impressive. Just kidding Donald, heard you did great this weekend. So you deserve a break today.

    Coach Meg hope you win your Volleyball game. Liking me some Coach Jake at the 4p.

    One last thing,,

    And as long as I’ve got my suit and tie
    I’mma leave it all on the floor tonight
    And you got fixed up to the nines
    Let me show you a few things
    All pressed up in black and white
    And you’re dressed in that dress I like
    Love is swinging in the air tonight
    Let me show you a few things
    Let me show you a few things
    Show you a few things about love
    While we’re in the swing of love
    Let me show you a few things
    Show you a few things about love
    Hey

    Love the JT vibe.

    Round.

    Everything about this thread is awesome. Alf, Crystal Light National Aerobic Championships, Grant in his skivvies, Justin Timberlake. How does that even happen? I love you people.

  17. B Rice Said,

    One last thing Amy. Here is the lyrics to the main chorus to the Crystal Light Aerobics theme song.

    “We are the wind, watch us glimmer.
    Like the sunset of champ..ions!
    Loose control, body and soul,
    We push ourselves to the maximum!
    The Champions, THE CHAMPIONS

  18. Christin Said,

    Kristy – I had to scale the WOD today but my pullups were looking good!!! All this video needed were a few of my glitter and sequin headbands… Now that would have been something else :) Can’t wait for tomorrow….
