Are you a fire breather or a puff of smoke?

You know those multiple-choice quizzes you get in magazines? Well here's the kind of thing I think they should really be asking - here's a gasser little quiz for you - let's see just how much of a dragon you are ;)

Choose the answer that's closest to how you feel. Total up your points at the end of the quiz: (a) = 1 point, (b) = 2 points, (c) = 3 points. Once you have your total, check at the end of the quiz, to see just what a fire breather you are ;) And no cheating! Hope it'll make you smile - and don't forget to leave a comment and let me know how you did ;)

1. How often do you visit Crossfit sites and blogs?
(a) Just every once in a while, they’re bookmarked so why not?
(b) Every week, to catch the new post, I wish people would post more often.
(c) Every day, sometimes two or three times a day, I can't get enough!

2. How often are you so inspired you can’t wait for the next WOD?

(c) Weight lifting shoes, a weight belt, ClimaLite breathable shirts and shorts. I’m ready for the shit.

4. What would you do if a friend called up inviting you to take a turn in a boxing gym?
(a) Erm, I’d have to check my schedule before accepting. And is it a nice gym or one of those basement dungeons? Ew.
(b) I’d be up for it, maybe a little footwork and some speed bag.
(c) It’s called CROSSFIT! Of course, I’m up for it. I train because I DON’T know what’s going to happen tomorrow.

5. Your friends are coming over and you just started a WOD in your garage … What do you do?
(a) Blow off the WOD and get ready to party!

6. I’m looking for someone to be a workout buddy. Would you be up for the job?
(a) Maybe, what’s your schedule like?
(b) I’ll think about it, but I guess I would like to hear about your goals and to see if they mesh with my own. Sounds like it might be fun.

(a) That thing I put my music on so I can sweat it out to the oldies. You know, iPood.
(b) Um, that’s an impolite question.
(c) The Russian measure used for kettlebells; common ones: 1 pood =36 lbs;

10. You’re planning a picnic and a terrific lunch. What are you bringing?
(a) I prefer take out – something deep fried and salty. And a cold fizzy drink to wash it down. *sigh*
(b) A nice salad, a few pickles maybe. You know … healthy food.
(c) A ‘zoned’ lunch of Chef’s Salad - turkey breast, egg whites, lettuce, avocado and lean ham. Delish! And following that, K2E rounds from the branch in a nearby tree.

Okay... total up the points:

10-14 points: You’re light hearted and a bit of a romantic. Just for reference, the dumbbells are the blobby things in the gym that weigh a lot. No, not the exercise balls.
15-19 points: You like a little tough workout now and then, but you’re a little bit shy of giving it your ‘all’. It’ll take you three WODS to get your first blister.
20-25 points: You’re clearly a warrior. Pick up the other end of that barbell and let’s squat clean this mutha. ;)
26-30 points: You are a fire-breathing dragon! For breakfast, you sprinkle ground up barbells on your steel-cut oats. Your hands have so many calluses and blisters you take pictures of them. You rock.
