    Wow! One of the best videos ever! A beautiful composite...women...men...body...mind. Some years ago, I walked into a gym for the first time. I saw people who were maybe 20 years older than me...looking younger than me. And it wasn't just about muscles...it was an attitude...a frame of mind. Their physical appearance while impressive was merely a byproduct. I just saw people who were determined to be the best they could be. I never tried to define it until now but what I saw was beauty. Like Sam says in this video " I like being strong".

    I'm 15 and I know I can do this .... People won't let me though and its hard .... So I train myself, I did weightlifting and that helped a lot with snatching, c&j, deadlifts and other weight training... Now I just go to my local gym and work as hard as I can every single day. I can't wait for the day that I can say I'm a real crossfitter , screw everyone who hates us. I can't wait for the day I can be in the games.

      I grew up around crossfit sense I was 5 witch was before crossfit was a thing. My family has dedicated 11 years to giving people a fitter fresher life. This video discribes the sport of crossfit better then any other thing I have experisnce. It's the best video I ever seen I wish they would tell the name to the music though

      Valentina Matteis Any male who rejects a woman because he thinks their too fit is from the extreme shallow end of the gene pool. Ignore them. You can be too fat or too thin. You can never be too strong.

  • @misspennygolightly
    @misspennygolightly 11 лет назад +2

    I watch a lot of "beauty gurus." I'm also trying to regain the fitness I had prior to having three children. This is the best and most inspiring and realistic video I've seen on youtube. And, btw, my daughter saw me train to the point of grunting loudly with my PT the other day. Before we got all the way out the door she was asking when she could start training. And that moment was beautiful.

    I have been bodybuilding since i was 16, i am 26 now. i started Crossfit like 10 months back...the change my body has gone through those past 10 months have been intense. I have never being fitter and healthier, but i do have lost some size but i am ripped up now. And also mentally i am more aware and my confidence has boosted further. Everyone doubting this, just try it out..you never know where happiness lies.

  • @silkyerm
    @silkyerm 10 лет назад +14

    I think the "Crossfit" body is very beautiful, because to achieve a body like those in this video speaks volumes about the drive and commitment of the person. The skinny person usually eventually grows up and grows fat and the fat person is allowing the present moment to own them. The person who achieves fitness owns the present moment and has the perseverance to continue over years of hard work. This is beautiful.

  • @keys96
    @keys96 11 лет назад

    I coached girls track and field for 6 years, and I tirelessly tried to inform them that, lifting weights, pushing your body to it's limit, and outworking the next person should be your focus. It was hard and difficult, but I got through to some. I do not do Crossfit, but I believe in what this video was saying. Fitness, movement, performance are the foundation. Everything will fall in line after that. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    @aasimsubhan1937 11 лет назад

    This video is inspiring and amazing showing how crossfit has helped so many people see the potential in what their bodies can do. There are many people who hate on cossfit saying they are taking drugs and it causes many injuries. What I find is these “people” are the ones caught up in societies aesthetic superficial ideals. This video talk about how we all as people should get away from what we see making a judgment on what we can do with out minds, bodies, heart, perseverance, and discipline.

    I don't know how many times I've watched this video. This is amazing. Everything in it. The speech, the music, the quality of the images, the images chosen. I'm so happy you made this video, it inspired me so much. Moreover, it made me realize about the mirror thing which, for some reason, I hadn't. Outstanding work here.

  • @suethought9827
    @suethought9827 8 лет назад +5

    I'm a teacher and I show this video to my students (14 - 17 year olds) to let them know that beauty is not defined by what you see in the mirror or other people tell you but how you feel about yourself!
    It is so important, especially at that age, that someone tells them they are beautiful, they are worthy just the way they are and not to fall into the beauty trap that society sets with unrealistic standarts for both girls and boys.
    I should know, I struggled with body image issued for all my life ... untill I found Crossfit. I have only been at it for 5 month, and I don't look that different and there is so many things I still can't do but ...
    I feel F*ING amazing!
    I wear different clothes, I walk differently and my whole mindset has changed. And the last is really what sets Crossfit apart! It doesn't matter at what level you are, simply the fact that your body is capable of thing you never thought possible ... just for this reason you start loving your body.

    Its one way for people to find them selves to realize it doesn’t matter if you are a man or women or if you are old or young. What matters is that you try your best and work as hard as you can in every aspect of life whether it be in the gym, at home, at work.

    If we can't agree what beauty is, does it really exist? Something reliable and consistent? If not then it just comes down to what I like. The trick is, to have the confidence not to worry if other people disagree.

    Many people who CrossFit are individuals battling their own limitations and disabilities. It's not about the Games. The competition is in the mirror looking back at you. The Games are an inspiration to those of us who will never qualify because we know what it's like to do battle in the same arena. We all know what it's like to push yourself to your limits and beyond. The Games athletes are performing at a higher level but we all know what it's like to leave everything you have on the field

    I just started crossfit. I used to be a long distance bike rider and over the last 4 years I've put on over 50 pounds. CrossFit is making me feel more like me every day. I'm back to dead lifted 120 pounds - I've lost reasonable amount of weight for the time period. My cross fit trainer knows my physical limitation (I have agitated plica syndrome in both knees) and works hard to help be work around it. Everything has a good and a bad side. To say you know, is just proving you know nothing.

  • @garrifrank
    @garrifrank 11 лет назад

    Opinion:
    After working out off and on for the past 2 years I look at these athletes and the only assumption I make is that they spent more time on it. I say this because in the time I've been working and lifting/eating right I've also graduated college, got a new job, worked on my relationship and cared for my ill father.
    I can see the changes I've made and if paid to do so (like some of them) I could look like that, without assuming they used drugs of any kind, and I half-assed it.

    @aasimsubhan1937 11 лет назад

    Saying these athletes take drugs is a easy statement, something a person would say who is afraid of hard work who doesn’t know the meaning of a life style based on functionality, durability, reliability. We all like the easy way out to achieve the “great looking body”these are the people who hate on crossfit. Crossfit brings inspiration, a community where it doesn’t matter how you look, what age you are, what limitations you have.

    Who is someone to call someone's life "pretend" as opposed to "real". To some people, that is what is their life and they are just fine with it. The soul of something is what you make of it. However, I mostly agree with you but I don't agree with putting down others to make your point more valid.

    @drhploveboat 11 лет назад

    that one woman described the way they look as "real," stating that she loved their physical appearance. yet it's odd but, for some reason that didn't seem like the appropriate word to me. I think it's because to me, saying that they look real, implies that they just naturally look, and perform this way. it takes hard work to be exceptional at anything, especially when it comes to training the human body to peek levels. that's something most people don't have the will or the drive to do.

    Great stuff, great definitions, all inspiring. Sadly too expensive.
    Biggest downer of the "CrossFit - making life better" business is the EXTREME expense.
    Doing cross training on my own at the gym and challenging myself at each step is an amazing feeling, but the lack of being part of the community really feels it denies a big part of the experience as its defined here or how CrossFit has been created. The beauty of being human is experienced most deeply when sharing it with, and supporting, other humans in their achievements.
    Really terribly unfortunate that the beauty of Cross Training communities can't be experienced unless one can afford $250/mo. Those of us with tight life budgets, but who love to get fit and challenge oneself, will never be able to experience the most beautiful aspect of Cross Training - the other human beings that make it amazing.

    Good to see this, but a bit sad to see some of the comments. I was brought up to be everything I could be as a woman.. and for me that includes six-pack and the biceps. I don't dress in a provocative way (generally jeans and a t-shirt) but have always had plenty of attention from men and even in my mid-forties I still regularly get positive and appreciative comments from men and women. Not surprisingly it is generally fit people who like fit people.. and that's fine with me!

    4:25: "It puts you head and shoulders above the majority of the human population." This embodies the central problem of Crossfit. Crossfit is so awesome in theory, so impressive in practice - we can all learn from it and grow from it. But to say that people who do it are "above" people who don't is incredibly distancing and demeaning. We are all here together. Yeah crossfitters are beautiful, but so are overweight people. So are thin people. We all are. There is no "elite." We're all one.

    The field of Aesthetics in philosophy studies why humans are so similar in what they find beautiful. The idea body changes from age to age but there is generally significant social consensus. Right now, Model-skinny and athlete-mesomorphic appear to be general conceptions with "Reubenesque-Obese" falling out of favor as ideas of health change.
