My workout with Chris LaLanne…

Sunday, September 07, 2008

From Chronicle Staff Writer Julian Guthrie

I was excited about the workout. I had been warned that it's not unusual to vomit after.

A group of 16 "students" of trainer Chris LaLanne -- the grand-nephew of fitness legend Jack LaLanne --- took off right at noon, jogging from Second and Howard Streets toward the Embarcadero.

Employing some fresh twists on the CrossFit training methodology, Castro Valley's Chris LaLanne and his wife, Maribel, officially christened LaLanne Fitness at 590 Howard St. on Saturday with his world-famous and still-vibrant great uncle by his side.
"Chris listens to me, and he knows what he's doing, so he should do well," the elder LaLanne said prior to leaping on a podium to inspire a crowd of admirers with one of his familiar pep talks. "I'm very proud of him."...

CrossFit was created in the 1970s by a Californian named Greg Glassman, a former gymnast. He started tinkering around with the back-to-the-basics concept when he was working in a weight-lifting gym.
