The Daily Mail have asked two couples including Ken and his wife Paula, under the guidance of personal trainers, to take part in a pre-January experiment to see how exercise and diet affect fitness, performance and body weight. They have been to St Mary's hospital in London and taken part in a testing schedule including blood tests and fitness tests and will return there in 6 weeks to re-test and see exactly how they have improved.
We met Ken and Paula last night (4 November) and put him through his first WOD, a 10 minute AMRAP of Cindy ( 5 Pull Ups, 10 Press Ups, 15 Squats). On our earlier chat I mentioned to Ken that he will never have done anything like CrossFit before, which was met with some reservation. On finishing the WOD his exact words were "I didn't think a ten minute workout could be so hard". I think all CrossFitters share the same thoughts on their first WOD.
Welcome to CrossFit Ken!
Over the course of the next 6 weeks we will be blogging on here with Ken's progress, thoughts and some pictures so we can all see how CrossFit stands up to the communal garden Personal Trainer.
Let the good times roll!

Good Luck Ken, it'll be a fun and interesting ride. As soon as i'm over my severe bout of man flu i'll be back training as well.
Ken give it everything!!!!
You will be surprised what you will get out of it...and enjoy!!!!!
I've now done 3 sessions in 5 days. None have been longer that 18 mins (excluding warm up and cool down) but I've been gaspin' at the end of each one! Still, I'm starting to hurt in all the right places!
Lumberjack 20 was huge! Too bad James kept me on a short leash because of time constraints....got to do it again, it's quite a programme.
