I don't feel well today.
I have no energy. It's too cold. It's too hot. I'm tired after work. I just ate. My legs hurt. My arms hurt. I worked out yesterday. I hate running. The gym's too far away. I'm not motivated. I'm not getting results. I don't feel strong today. My favourite gym t-shirt is in the washing. I just don't fell like it. You can come up with any number of excuses and reasons not to train. But there only needs to be one reason to train...because you can! Now, get up and do something for yourself. Thursday, September 20, 2007
The greatest thing about CrossFit (well, in my opinion anyway) is the sense of community. We're all about helping each other improves and grow. There are no battles of ego (the WODs wipe that away pretty quickly) and there's no "get fit quick" BS. It's an open-source model meaning you can take what is suitable and modify it for your own benefit. Whilst, it's not one-size-fits-all it can definitely benefit all.
Lots of people exercise with CrossFit by themselves in gyms, parks and at home. This is one of the coolest things about CrossFit - you don't have to sign up anywhere to train. If you are one of those people who is hiding at home and doing it by yourself it's time to get in touch. Start to leave some comments on our blog or with our daily workouts; join the discussion community; or come along to a class. We're even here to coach you one-on-one or in small groups with your friends. Don't stay a stranger. Yours in health & fitness, Adam. Friday, September 14, 2007
Virtuosity can be defined as "a focus on exceptional technical display" or "technical skill or fluency or style". We've all seen virtuosity on the sports field, on the stage and even, perhaps, in our friends and colleagues. We hold such displays to be exceptions rather than the rule.
Some might think that aiming for perfection is a fool's quest; I think it is an admirable goal. Shouldn't we be aiming to do our best all the time?  In the gym, do you let yourself exercise with poor posture or a lack of focus? Would you be surprised to hear that your results would dramatically improve were you to just put in that little bit more effort? When you are hungry, do you just grab something that's easy rather than preparing something healthy? Would the extra effort be worth it? What I am trying to illustrate is that settling for the average is not the path to success. Ask any successful business person or sportsperson; they worked for what they got and they didn't settle for anything less than the best. Your continued health & fitness requires effort on your behalf. It requires diligence, commonsense and consistency. It demands more than just the mediocre. If your want to be fit - truly fit - you have to aim for virtuosity. |
