Athlete

I worked with a chiropractor who does some manual therapy, some acupuncture. The big thing is to do something on a regular basis, rather than waiting to get hurt.

I think CrossFit is highly beneficial to any athlete, in any sport.

One of the pillar ideas of how CrossFit thinks of physical fitness is how competent an individual is at cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, accuracy, agility, and balance.

Everyone always asks if I'm going to 'make my kids do CrossFit.' I'll never make them do anything. I will, however, make sure that they're physically active in some way, that they'll play some type of sport or do gymnastics or dance or something.

In life, you don't really know what's coming at you. Like a firefighter, or police officer, or anyone else working in the emergency field, they don't know what's going to come at them. You gotta be ready for anything.

I'm completely of the opinion that anybody can do CrossFit.

Every time I compete, I still get nervous. There are the nerves that are because 'oh this is really going to hurt,' then there's the, 'I have to go fast and I don't know how fast everyone else is going to go,' nerves.

I eat a lot of peanut butter and drink a lot of whole milk.

Lean steak cuts provide an excellent source of high-quality protein, and the taste is second to none! Chicken and turkey are great as well, but I prefer steak myself.

Eggs are not only one of the highest quality sources of protein, but they come stocked with various vitamins and minerals as well.

The pre-CrossFit Rich Froning was a wuss.

My gift from God has been my talent, my genetics, and the people around me.

Being on a team, you push a lot harder for other people.

I eat a bowl of cereal to cap off the night. That's my dessert.

Faith, family, and fitness - that's the order I try to keep things in.

I always enjoyed the training part of baseball. I went to play college baseball and decided it wasn't for me.

Luckily, I found CrossFit. I do a lot more legs now - that's for sure.

A lot of people who do CrossFit eat a strict paleo diet, but I don't subscribe to any specific way of eating. If you burn enough calories, you don't need to.

People don't like squats, but it's an essential exercise.

Identify your weaknesses, vary your training cycles, reevaluate and repeat.
