By: NoExcusesUSA.com When it comes to CrossFit, observers of the red-hot workout regimen tend to fall into two camps: true believers and those who can’t imagine what would possess someone to push that hard. Or as journalist J.C. Herz puts it, for some people it’s a “lightning bolt: this is what I’ve been searching for. The rest think it’s a sign of mental illness.” But there’s no denying that CrossFit has recently exploded in popularity and become one of the world’s most fascinating sports subcultures. Today there are over 7,000 CrossFit gyms (or ‘boxes’) in dozens of countries, and millions of devoted participants— “Learning to Breathe Fire is one of those books that come along every generation or so that brings to life a sub-culture so vividly, so deliciously that it makes you want to run out now and become a part of it! Written with great verve, comprehensive research and a novelist’s knack for deft characterizations, this is CrossFit’s War and Peace.” --Charles Gaines, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Pumping Iron Meet the Author, J.C.
