To the outside world Crossfit can seem a bit alien. In this day of ‘conversational paces’ and ‘target heart rate zones’, the intensity of a WOD can come off as crazy and extreme. I read an article yesterday in a mainstream fitness magazine that stated for an effective workout, one should be able to easily chat with their powerwalking comrade. So why do we do the opposite? Simply put- All the good stuff that you want out of fitness is born from intensity. Want to be leaner? Intensity. Want to be faster? Intensity. Push more weight? You guessed it, Intensity. Why does crossfit work so well at increasing capacity across all these markers? Because intensity is at its core. So the next time you feel like you’ve reached your limit on a WOD, think about what you really want out of this. Lower bodyfat? Faster 5K? More muscle? Find what you want and remind yourself, “Intensity will make this possible!” and push through. It’s worth it!
Good morning everyone!! I hope you all are doing well. I wanted to update anyone who was still able to help me move this weekend. I will be moving this saturday september 6th. I have the loading dock scheduled from 10-3 and the u-haul from 10-4. I am thinking that by the time I get the truck back to the house it will be round 10:30. So if anyone plans on still helping I will give you directions to my house and if you all could be there anytime between 10:30 and 11:00 that would be awesome. I will give directions to both places just let me know. It shouldn’t take too long- I don’t have that much stuff- I just need extra hands. Thanks so much guys! My cell number is 330.931.0147 call if you need anything or have any other questions. Again thank you so much- Oh and there will be food like pizza and subs and beer and water and stuff for you all to munch on.
