...started doing CrossFit. I wanted to lose some weight and get in shape, but at that time I never knew how CrossFit would become so important to me, and how it has become part of my life. Before I joined a CrossFit box - how CrossFit gyms are called - I played basketball in my school. I wanted to do physical training, so I would be more competent and athletic for the basketball season.A friend of mine and I, who also wanted to try Crossfit, went to the nearest box we could find and did the trial class. I felt horrible and amazing at the same time. Horrible because I felt exhausted after doing the workout, but amazing because the sensation I felt after doing giving everything I could be something unique that I never felt before. After that day I knew I could get really good at the sport so I signed up at that box and started training approx three to four times a day.

For most people who have joined, it has also become a way of life. It is the main strength and conditioning program for many police academies and FBI, State Police, military special operations units, martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes all across the world. Crossfit has been developed to assist athletes in achieving a high level of fitness in endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, agility, power, coordination, and accuracy. Therefore; one may ask why it has become so controversial. Greg Glassman developed Crossfit, Inc. in 2000 and since then, the hype about Crossfit has exploded.

...Samantha Hicks Week 6 Writing Assignment November 30, 2013 2- In the final part of this case study, Roger Williams was making plans to create a business continuity plan for its information. Why do you think the hospital had not already developed such a plan in the event of a disaster? How is HP’s new IT infrastructure going to help Roger Williams build a robust business continuity plan? The hospital had not already developed a continuity plan for its information in the event of a disaster because Roger Williams Medical Center did not know that it would gain the large amount of information it did. HP’s new IT infrastructure will help Roger Williams build a robust business continuity plan because the new IT infrastructure will help the hospital achieve scalability, availability, and the performance required to process and store information with its new applications. By achieving scalability, Roger Williams will be able to add information as well as change information within a system easily. By achieving availability, the hospital will be able to have the information available when needed. By achieving the performance required to process and store information with its new applications, the hospital will be able to have enough processing power to work with the new applications and store large quantities of data. 3- According to the network infrastructures we discussed in this chapter, how would you characterize Roger Williams’ new IT infrastructure?

...Many schools have moved to WOD- based PE rather than the traditional sports- based PE. This is because WOD- based PE builds a community of trainers within the class that all help each other to become better. Schools have found that WOD- based physical education is better on the brain and improves grades. The expectations are high because “...kids will step up to the challenge” (Tis Nobler in the Mind ---and Body). Crossfit creates an environment where students do not judge each other and are all doing the workout to their best abilities. I also noticed that coaching each other was a very important aspect of sustaining the positive environment in the class. I have learned so much this year in PE because of the crossfit part of it. Another reason...

...Professor Triolo, For the multimedia project, I elected to use my proposal argumentative essay because of its relevance and ability to be visually depicted. I believe in the idea that CrossFit is a scientific formula which has naturally evolved into a sport. This is because the formula is tough to carry out even though it is very effective and efficient. Whenever crew of people work ridiculously hard together, there is a positive outcome. This is why teammates on championship dynasties are so tight-knit and successful businesses create lasting friendships. Tackling tough tasks brings people together, so CrossFit brings people together, just like any other sport. Based on this information, I believe that this is something worthwhile and valid...

Most people who partake in crossfit, could easily agree that crossfit slowly becomes an addiction of your own...a very good one of course, once you start you can’t ever stop. Community; multiple people of the same interests’ come together as supporters for one another. Three years ago when I first became a member of “Portcrossfit”, everything had changed. When someone just starts out with crossfit, it almost feels impossible to complete a workout. Just when you think you can't finish and giving up is your only option, every single one of your teammates are surrounding you, screaming, clapping and pushing you to finish and suddenly, the pain just goes away and you feel invincible.
