Squatting is…sitting with friends, cute, sumo, a thrust kick, crawling, curious, climbing, stairs, a swimming turn…

Fight Gone Bad 6 at CFNYC is coming on Saturday, September 17th. We already have 91 team members–the largest team of all, by the way–who have raised $5,885 thus far, putting us in 8th place worldwide out of the 750 gyms participating. For those of you who have joined the team, thank you. But if you haven’t started fundraising yet, here’s some inspiration about one of the three good causes we’re supporting:

Narrated by Colonel John T. Carney, Jr
Length: ‎4:55

The recent tragic loss of 31 special operations troops serves as a reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices being made by the U.S. military and its families. Fight Gone Bad 6 is our chance to show our support for the U.S. Armed Forces special operations community. Join our team now or donate to one of our team members! Thank you.

    I just want to reiterate the following facts about participating in FGB6 @ CFNYC:

    1) You don’t have to be a great athlete–you just have to do your best.

    2) FGB the workout is totally scaleable in 2 ways: (a) we’ll be offering different weights (men’s rx’d, women’s rx’d, plus further scaling/modifying as needed), (b) you only do as many reps per minute as you can.

    3) You don’t have to be a great fundraiser–we’d love you to raise at least $50 but we don’t have any minimum fundraising requirement to participate.

    4) It will only take an hour of your Saturday to participate, including warm-up, workout, counting reps for your partner, and saying hello to friends. (Of course you’re welcome to hang out with us all day if you want to.)

    5) Having an athletic event to train for helps focus your training, keep it consistent, and test it. Use FGB6 as a way to be a better crossfitter.

    If you have any questions/concerns about FGB6, please post them here to comments or email me at allisonATcrossfitnycDOTcom. Thanks, everyone!

    Lesson of the day, doing burpees at 2000 meters above sea level makes you really dizzy and going non paleo and being on vacation has its toll
