Today's topic: No Excuses
Tired? Sore? Too Busy? Just not "feeling it"? Maybe we just can't wake up or we had a long day. Sometimes when we get to the box and the WOD is so tough it makes us think of quitting. Or sometimes life just "gets in the way" of getting into the gym. Everyone experiences this at one time or another. Many times the reasons are entirely valid. Sometimes they may just be excuses.
Take a few minutes and watch Kyle Maynard of No Excuses CrossFit compete in the Georgia Sectionals for the 2010 CF Games. Why? Well, Kyle is a congenital quadriplegic. He is not only one heck of a CrossFitter he is an inspiring and amazing person. You may have heard of him or seen him interviewed by Oprah or Larry King. I was lucky enough to have met him once and hear him speak at the Affiliate Gathering in 2009. Motivating to say the least. After you watch this try and remember him the next time you have an excuse. I know I certainly will.

Wow, Kyle is amazing. What an inspiration that proves the thought of "I can't" is just plain wrong. With the support of Crossfit community, passion and drive Kyle and so many other Crossfitters find that "I can" is really the truth.
Thanks for sharing the video
