CrossFit - Rich Froning Jr.'s So-Called Life: Part 1

For the fittest man on Earth, life is pretty normal: a wife, a dog, a house.

In Part 1 of this five-part series, we get inside Rich Froning Jr.'s Tennessee home and learn more about the man who this year became the first two-time CrossFit Games champion.

For starters, Froning's wife, Hillary, doesn't CrossFit.

"She's good for me. Keeps me level-headed, that's for sure," Rich says. "Very supportive of what I do but doesn't care anything about it, which is good ... 'cause then I don't have to worry about how well I do for her."

Froning adds: "All she cares about is if I'm safe. She doesn't care about how I finish or any of that—except for this year she did get a little fired up."

In Part 2, the 25-year-old reveals that he's a nervous wreck before competitions.

"I hate it. I hate competing. I don't know why I do it," he says.

But as soon as he hears the word "Go!" the nerves vanish.

"There's no butterflies. You're just kind of in that zone," he explains. "And then after it, you feel great—if you did decent."
