This is a great series offered by CrossFit.com. It will really inspire you to get yourself together and focus on YOU. Get you fit and on the way to wellness.  Watch it, you will be glad you did. Each episode is less than 20m and seriously, will inspire you. Do it!

I have included the synopsis below but essentially it’s the every day guy – mr suburbia – who has let himself go. Has forgotten who he was and lost his way. He finally comes to a point in his life when enough is enough and he decides to make a change. It’s a true story and relatable – many of us, men and women, have been there. It’s a story about crushing his perception of WHO CrossFit is for and HOW focusing on himself can improve his life in so many mind blowing ways.

Killing the Fat Man Series

Twenty years ago, Gary Roberts was a 187-lb. Marine. Today, he’s roughly 270 lb. and starting to believe he’s destined for an early heart attack or open-heart surgery.

Join Roberts—and CrossFit HQ filmmaker Sevan Matossian—on the 16-week journey to “kill the fat man” at Oceanside CrossFit in California.

“Fit, to me, is the ability to do everyday things that I used to do when I was in shape and can no longer do,” Roberts says. “It’s about time I stopped looking at other people, looked at myself and said, ‘Hey, let’s change your habits.’”

For his first WOD at Oceanside, he does a short chipper involving a row, squats, sit-ups, push-ups and pull-ups.

“Bam, that’s it,” says trainer Laura Patefield.

After struggling through his band-assisted pull-ups, Roberts says he feels good.

“Things are burnin’ I haven’t even known existed,” he says. “There’s … places I don’t think I’ve flexed in a long time.”

Patefield responds, “It’s going to change your life.”
