MADISON — It’s almost hard to imagine that four years ago a near-fatal car crash left Jason Bedford unable to walk and addicted to pain medication.

Bedford looks pretty fit as he propels himself into a box jump, a high-impact exercise typically done in CrossFit gyms.

He lets out a whoop after he lands on a cushioned box in the proper form, on his heels, knees bent.

“I actually didn’t think I could do this like a month ago,” he said, catching his breath.
