Here's a little something extra for you.

(from crossfithardcore - Boca)   Courtesy of our friends at CrossFit Harbor City 

Our clients get it. These people don't. As compiled from the CrossFit.com message boards. (with rebuttals)
• “It's too hard” (Is anything worthwhile EASY?)
• "I don't have the time" (Huh? In the time it takes you to finish this you could have done 50 squats)
• "I want to get in shape before starting a program like that." (Obviously lame, how do you propose to get started?)
• "Dude, that workout would kill me." (Being fat and sick won’t?)
• "I'm sure I'd lose size if I did that." (What size, Arnold?)
• “It costs too much” ( The workouts are FREE, Great coaching is what you pay for)
• "It's too intense for me." (Yep. Probably is. That’s the POINT)
• "Lifting that much weight is unsafe." (So is sex and skydiving)
• "You have to be very careful doing dead lifts and squatting that low" (No, you should be CAPABLE, not careful)
• "You'll throw up if you go that hard, that fast." (Maybe, but probably not, and if you do, SO WHAT?)
• "I can't do 100 PULLUPS” (All at once? neither can we) 
• "looks like a fad" (So did the internet)
• "I heard that stuff was dangerous" (you HEARD that? From who?)
• "I don't want/need to be stronger, I just want to be healthy by running and going to spin class" (You DO want and NEED to be stronger - running and spinning do the opposite)
• "I need to quit smoking first." (You’re right!)

[snip] "Dude, that workout would kill me."

HAHAHAHA! That was pretty much what I told Joe when I looked at the workout for my first Boot Camp! "I can't push a truck ?!?! Are you insane!!"

He said I was a sissy and a quitter... so naturally I had to prove him wrong. Well, that and the fact he wouldn't let me forget it at all if I didn't go! I wasn't left with much choice lol!!

You forgot to mention the "other" motivational tool that I used! I knew you could do it and I know there are people using the same lame excuses. It is a choice that we have to make to be healthy. I'm happy with my choice.
