Are some of you becoming comfortable in your workouts? Do you look at the workout posted in the morning before coming to class and take your "rest" days on the days when you don't feel comfortable doing the WOD. As I work will each of you in the gym, I can see that some are getting "comfortable" with your current fitness level. Complacency is dangerous ground to tread on. . .
If we step back and think for a few minutes, we can look at this from a scientific point of view. In science, we can all agree that the universe is either getting infinitely smaller or infinitely bigger. Either way, it is in a state of constant change. If the universe is changing and we are part of it, it's safe to say that we are in a state of constant change. Our bodies are different moment to moment, day to day. So why do we continue to cling to things in life that are static? Why we stop challenging ourselves to accept change readily and willingly? Why do we resist the natural order of change?
If you have found yourself a little slow progress wise in the gym as of late, I would like you to ask yourself these questions and then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! Make a decision to be ready for change, to keep yourself in a state of readiness and willingness to change... Start by adding 5 more pounds to the bar, or picking up the next size kettlebell. Start by changing the way you eat, sleep, work, and relax! In case your wondering, I've already started. . . I hope you'll join me.
Beginning May 1, 2012 we will be conducting a PERFORMANCE CHALLENGE in the gym. All gym members are eligible. The challenge will begin with a fitness test which will include a timed mile and a CrossFit total (total weight of deadlift, backsquat, and shoulder press.) The data recorded will be your pre-test data. At the end of May, we will repeat the fitness test. The gym member who posts the greatest percentage of improved performance will be awarded a one month membership free! In order to receive the free membership, you are required to keep a record of your diet (everything you eat during the day) as well as a record of the workouts that you complete during the month. Your journal must be handed in on the 31st of May after the fitness test if you wish to be considered for the challenge. ( The honor system will be in place for all recorded info and fitness test performances) The entry fee for this contest will be $10/ member. I strongly encourage everyone to participate as most of you are getting "comfortable" and need a little motivation to bring your fitness to the next level. You can register for the performance challenge at the front desk. If you need a Fitness Journal, please let us know and we will email it out to you! I am looking forward to seeing all of you step up your workouts and continue to inspire each other...
I'll see you in class.
- Stay Strong . . . . Stay Fit.
