CrossFit king Rich Froning reveals what it takes to win the CrossFit Games

It's gym time...

Rich Froning Jr is the undisputed Fittest Man on Earth.

You don’t win the CrossFit Games four times in a row unless you’re forged from strong stuff.

But sadly the champ won’t be sticking around in the individual competition to make it five in a row for 2015.

He is stepping aside to compete in the CrossFit Games team event.

That means 2015 will see a new champion crowned the ‘Fittest Man on Earth’.

But CrossFit king Froning has some advice for the other athletes eyeing up the title…and it makes for perfect Monday Motivation

He told the guys at Barbell Shrugged: “It takes sacrifice. Everybody knows that. It’s not something where you can just work out once a day now. You’ve got to put some time into it, you’ve got to make some sacrifices.

“There’s going to be days where you don’t want to work out, there’s going to be days where you miss out on some things.

“I guess that’s the big thing I’m over is missing out on those things.”

THAT’S what it takes to be a champ.

So, it might be Monday – but you’re not going to see any gains unless you sacrifice sitting on your arse for some blood, sweat and tears in the gym.

Happy Monday everyone…
