CHALK UP AFFILIATES
Thirty-four-year-old Khe Hy: “If I can outwork a 21 year old at CrossFit, then I must not really be physically 37 years old!” By crushing CrossFit, I believed I was somehow adding on an extra 16 years of life expectancy. I still love CrossFit – but going in free of burden of extending my life makes it that much more enjoyable.”
CHALK UP READS
As hard as CrossFit is, the thing that hooked me was being able to finish a workout I thought was impossible. And yes, I’m on the floor most days because when your workout is 5 minutes or 10 minutes or 20, you push. You give it everything you have because once you’re done, you’re done. And you don’t want to be able to do more afterwards. You want to think, “wow, I busted my ass for 10 minutes and I probably worked harder than if I ran for 30 minutes.” That’s the point.
Remember, this is YOUR time. This is about you. So who deserves more effort than you?
“Happy-Go-Lucky Golden Retriever Is Ideal Gym Buddy for His Beefy CrossFit Owner” by People Magazine
Muscles don’t come from long naps; if that was the case Maximus would have big biceps under that golden fur.
His owner, Noah Ohlsen, is a different story. The CrossFit professional spends most of his time at the gym he owns. But reps and runs can get monotonous, so luckily he has Maximus the golden retriever to mix things up. The loyal dog serves as both coach and cheerleader, accompanying Noah to the gym, nipping at his heels during jobs and offering high-fives after tough workouts.
The CrossFitter talked to PEOPLE about how much Max means to him, how he keeps his pooch healthy and easy ways you can include your dog in a workout routine, no weightlifting required.
