Amputees doing the Crossfit thing

I contend that Crossfit-style workouts can have a massive benefit for people with disabilities, for reasons including increased mobility, range of motion, increased circulation, and improved strength that translates to everyday activities. I am a paraplegic, but that only represents one small sub-section of para-athletes. A large number also include amputees, and this story in USA Today highlights their ability to participate in competitions at Crossfit EADO. The competitive spirit is clearly alive here.
