“Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.”
– Lou Holtz
Thought of the Week:
There are three main reason one chooses to do CrossFit:
- They want to sweat, burn some calories, feel good, and have a good time.
- They want to push the envelope a bit, using CrossFit as a means of training for what they do outside of the gym such as a sport, hiking, first responder, military, etc.
- They want to compete in CrossFit, treating it as their sport.
What are you here to do? What is your main goal? Does your workout intention every day reflect your main goal?
