A Day at CrossFit NRG

I decided to visit CrossFit NRG, one of the Utah CrossFit affiliates,
and take pictures of CrossFitters during a WOD.


The Wod:
3 rounds of
15 clean and jerks
25 kettlebell swings
50 double unders


CrossFit believes that it's necessary to get the body warm before engaging in intense exercise.
Here are a couple of pictures of warm-ups using medicine balls...
After the warm-up, the WOD begins...
