What are the CrossFit Games?

The CrossFit Games are the ultimate test of fitness. It's a grueling two-day competition in which the world's fittest athletes compete in a variety of workouts. What are the workouts? Each year they change, and the details of them are not announced until a couple days before the event. This means that all year long, the athletes are training for a competition whose format is almost completely a mystery.

The 2010 CrossFit Games

The 2010 Games will have five main competitions: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Affiliate Cup Teams,Men's Masters and Women's Masters (over 50). The winners of the individual competitions will each receive$25,000 cash, sponsored by PROGENEX. There will also be many cash and material prizes for the other winners and top performers.

Qualifying for the 2010 CrossFit Games

The 2010 Games are limited to 50 men and 50 women, all of whom need to qualify to enter. The top five men and women from the 2009 Games are automatically qualified. All past champions are automatically qualified if they wish to compete. The other 43-45 competitors have to qualify in their Regional Qualifier. There are 13 Regionals around the world, and each Regional will send the top 1 - 7 athletes (men and women) to the Games, depending on the size of the Regional.

This year, for the first time, there are Sectional Qualifiers feeding most of the Regionals. In other words, most of the Regionals are open only to the top competitors from their respective Sectionals. From early February to late March, 2010, there will be approximately 30 Sectionals. Most Sectionals will send the top 10 - 20 men and women to their Regionals.

World Class Fitness in 100 words

In the words of Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit, this is the definition of elite fitness in less then 100 words.

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

Powerful Beyond Measure

"Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone, and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people premission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
