CFH Training Days 26/01/2015 – 01/02/2015

Posted 25th January 2015 by Josh Schouten

WEEK 4/12

COACHES COMMENT:

ExerciseFirst Its the new year and the motivation to hit the gym is high.  Even on the freezing cold mornings you manage to drag yourself out of bed and make it to the box.  So how long is this new found motivation going to last? Are you going to keep the Momentum going and make this year the year that you smash your goals?  How is this year going to be different? What is going to keep you moving in the right direction and push you to new heights? Enter the training partner!!

One of the best things about a CrossFit box is the community.  The chance to train with a variety of other people, a chance to make new friends, a chance to learn from others, a chance to help others, and a chance to bring out the best in each other.  No matter your level of experiance in the gym, there is much to gain from having training partners.  The best training partners are the people who are positive, and often the people who have something your missing.  Find someone who is a little stonger than you.  Find someone who is a little fitter than you.  Find  someone who posesses some skills that you are still trying to master.  This give you something to chase, someone to learn from, and someone to workout with.  You may ask, “how does this help them?”  If your on a mission to chase them down and to be as strong, fit and skillful as them, they are going to need to watch their back.  If they get lazy, you will soon be beating them.

So who is chasing you? As a new influx of foundations members start their CrossFit experiance they will be looking up to many of the existing members.  They will be watching your every move, asking you questions about your training, and comparing their times/scores on the board.  They will be the ones chasinsg you down.  So you better be watchin your back 😉

The competition element of CrossFit is all about having fun and testing yourself.  Personally my strengths are the gymnastics movements, the heavy deadlift, box jumps, or handstand press-ups.  When my strengths appear in the WOD, I know people will be chasing me.  Double-unders, heavy cleans, thrusters and muscle-ups are some of my weaknesses and areas that I need to improve on.  When these movements are in a WOD there are a number of members in the gym who I know I’m going to be chasing.  Then there is the WODs that contain a combination of the good, the bad ,and the ugly,  these are the workouts that will be close and the ones that I look forward to the most.  Its time to make some of my weaknesses a strength and start focusing on some of the things I’m not good at yet.

Enjoy you week, practice something you suck at!
