Today's Date: April 19, 2024 Photography/Video Release Participants involved in any activities offered by Ballard CrossFit may be photographed or videotaped during training. The undersigned hereby consents to the use of these photographs and/or videos without compensation, on the Ballard CrossFit website or in any editorial, promotional or advertising material produced and/or published by Ballard CrossFit. WARNING.....Safety first!! High Intensity exercise must be approached cautiously in the beginning, a gradual ramp up of intensity is necessary to allow muscle and other cells to adapt to the new demands being placed on them. Failure to do so opens the door to a life threatening condition known as "Rhabdomyolysis". In short, the muscle cells are damaged, flooding the bloodstream with toxins that can overwhelm the kidneys as they attempt to cleanse the blood, leading to potential shutdown. CrossFit, as well as other forms of high intensity exercise, can cause Rhabdomyolysis. It is important that you start at a reduced intensity. Brown urine (coke colored), complete muscle weakness and/or swelling of joints are warning signs of "Rhabdo". If you develop these symptoms, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.
