For those who don’t know, Steve Willis is the owner of the CrossFit affiliate CFX in Kogarah, Sydney. He is also a trainer on “The Biggest Loser” (Commando Steve). On top of all that he also happens to be the fourth fittest human on the planet (after finishing in 4th place in the 2009 CrossFit games) and one of the original members of the Australian certification team.
Steve has just released a book - “No Excuses” which you can buy at most bookstores ($24 @ Borders if you’re quick). It is an interesting read as it chronicles his life up until now (nothing too deep), but also delves into his phsyche and mindset and how he deals with the pain of difficult workouts.
CrossFit gets a massive plug all throughout the book. The last third is dedicated totally to CrossFit with a description of the program and demonstrations of the 9 foundational movements.
I bought a copy yesterday and it is definately worth a read. Unfortunately I am unable to lend my copy as it is actually a present for a friend. If you have any friends who watch “the Biggest Loser” but you can’t get them into CrossFit, this may be all the impetus they need. I would expect that most CrossFit affiliates will see a rise in numbers on the back of the book.
Check it out.
