FORGING ELITE FITNESS IN THE LAND OF THE MORNING CALM

TECHNIQUE. CONSISTENCY. INTENSITY. RESULTS.

We are now CrossFit Yongsan!!!

CrazyWife and I are both full-time Active Duty Army Officers that are hooked on CrossFit. CrossFit is literally changing our lives and we are excited to spread the word and offer others a taste of the "Kool-Aid".

We have gotten approval from HQ to make the first Military Affiliate in Korea a reality... come see us at CrossFit Yongsan.

The Saturday Crew is already losing weight...


Who says you can't fit all the equipment for Fight Gone Bad into a 1993 Hyundai Sonata!!! Warm up and cool down today was "Load and unload the hooptie full of gear for time!"



Crazy Monkey snapped off a random shot in the gym that reminds us why we are here in Korea in the first place.


Dr. Ro getting after some Sumo Deadlift High Pulls... good job Doc!!!


Dr. Shin working hard on the push presses. "Who says Army docs are lazy?"


Jae counting calories for Seung Hyun on the C2 Rower... what a wonderful piece of "aerobic" equipment. Why anyone would want to waste any more time on an elliptical machine or treadmill is beyond me...


The whole crew tackling FGB with Wall Balls, SDHPs, Box Jumps and Push Presses... I think Jae said this would be easy (until he got done with the first round...)


CrossFit Yongsan is growing by leaps and bounds. Two weeks ago we had one person show up. Last week, one person. This week, SIX and they were talking about bringing more people next week as soon as the workout was over. The lazy CRNA team slept in or we would have had at least two more. Too bad they missed out on bacon and eggs afterwards!!! Sorry Bill and Carlos...

Today's workout:

Fight Gone Bad

Perform 1 minute of the following exercises with a running clock counting totals reps and/or calories. Rotate to the next exercise every minute. After completing all five exercises, rest for one minute and perform two more rounds the same way. It is supposed to replicate the physiological demands of an MMA fight (gone bad) and I think it does a pretty good job. It's a lot of work in just 17 minutes.

Wall Balls
Sumo Deadlift High Pulls
Box Jumps
Push Press
Row

We need to work on getting the scoring and coaching down. Lots of confusion once it kicked off but fun was had by all.

Trent and Lilly did all three rounds.

Mike and Jae were pretty good after two rounds.

Dr. Shin, Dr. Ro and the wives, Cathy, Rosie and Seung Hyun did one or two rounds of 30 second rotations. Everyone did great and I'm sure they'll be back next week as our community grows by leaps and bounds...

Dr. Shin was our one person to show up last week and he is happy because he is already down 2 kilos in one week. Great job doc, keep it up!!!

Stay tuned for updates to any changes to time and place for next Saturday's workout. It it stays warm we will move to Collier Gym and the beautiful astro-turf soccer field across the street...
