Learning to Breathe Fire: The Rise of CrossFit and the Primal Future of Fitness Book review by Deane Barker • August 17, 2014 • tags: crossfit • Good overview of the history of CrossFit. This is not a practical book – it will not teach you how to burpee better. But it will explain where CrossFit came from and hopefully get you to understand the culture a little more. Extremely well-done. Book Info Author J.C. Herz Year 2014 Pages 368 Acquired June 18, 2022 I have read this book. According to my records, I completed it on August 17, 2014.
