Thursday

A call to focus:
Members, sometimes we see you stop four minutes into a workout to get a sip of water. Or to tie your shoe. Or to tape your hands. These are excuses you are using to avoid the intensity and/or pain of your workout. Drink your water before and after your workout. You have all day to hydrate. The WOD is only 10-30 min long and the gym doesn't jump from 62 degrees into heatstroke range. We promise you, you will be OK without your water for another 10 minutes! Tie your shoes before the WOD. Triple knot them if you have to. Tape your hands before the WOD. Those 20 minute WODs are sacred time where you give us all out intensity and focus. The WOD is scaled down to each individual's level. So you're not going to die, and we aren't going to push you beyond what you can handle. But it IS going to suck for 15 minutes of your day, whether you are a beginner or have been CrossFitting for 3 years. Be present in that moment with your pain, don't run from it. Embrace the suck, because therein lie your results. When your body feels tired, take a rest day or two. But when you come into our gym, be prepared to work and leave your excuses at home.
