I’ve been hitting CrossFit now here 2-3 times a week since the beginning of January ’11.  It took about a month before I didn’t feel totally spent and worthless after my workout. I also began the Whole30 diet plan on January 31st. Beginning in February I was able to resume my BJJ practice after a month and a half hiatus due to family concerns.

So, the first thing I noticed was that my recovery time after my BJJ class has dramatically improved.  So much so, that now by the time I make it home I feel like I’ve only done some light exercise.  Before, I’d come home and my wife would make comment as to how red my face would be.  Not anymore.  I’m not drag-assing into bed either.

The biggest difference though was this past Monday and Tuesday I actually took my huge volleyball knee pads off during my BJJ class and my knees weren’t killing me during or afterward.

MY KNEES DON’T HURT ANYMORE!!!!!!

For anyone who has had chronic knees issues I’m sure you get how big a deal this is.

I’ve talked to a number of other people at Wasatch CrossFit who have similar success stories.  I’m so thankful for the opportunity to do this.  If you haven’t tried CrossFit yet I suggest you give it a go.  It’ll change you in ways you will never expect.
