Rest Day, Goals

| | Comments (0)
Today I thought I would just post some of your goals.  I talked more about goals in this post a week ago.  Remember, your goals seem to push you harder if 1.  They are specific 2. there is a Deadline and 3. You write them down.

Here are some of the goals of our athletes at Eugene Crossfit:
  • Get really toned - to see muscles in my arms - to lose 10 lbs
  • Lose weight + tone + condition
  • Get in shape!! Lean out.
  • Become Strong, Lean, Fit, Fast and Improve endurance
  • Be a stronger soccer player and also become more fit
  • Get in great shape
  • Feel good and stay fit -- wear a bikini (ha, ha) :)
  • Work out enough to keep you happy
  • Be in the best shape of my life
  • Gain strength/lose inches Half Ironman 2010
Think about the goals that you've set.  Is there anything you can do to help motivate yourself to make these goals more real?  Is your goal specific? Achievable?  Is there a deadline?  Does your goal motivate you?

New Boxes!

Eric Alvis (also known as the fence guy) has been training with us for a few weeks with some impressive results.  Not only has he improved on nearly all the exercises and fitness standards but he's also shared it with others bringing crossfit to a handful of others. (including his wife!) 

To add to it, yesterday Eric delivered the first box to the gym.  This 30' box is impressive. It, by far, tops all the ones I've seen.   Check it out:

In the one day that we've had it, we've already seen big improvements from our taller guys being able to use the higher pull up bar being assisted with bands without touching their feet on the ground.  This caused the 'kip' to click a lot better.  If you get a chance, thank him!

Back from Vacation!

Last week Kristine and I spent the week at Captiva Island in Florida.  We had a blast.  We did some fishing, saw some good wildlife, took some long naps on the beach, dealt with a huge spider in the room, did 50 burpees on the beach, swam, and ate a lot of ice cream.

And the answer is yes, I did fall completely off the zone diet this week, which I'm sure you'll be able to notice from my low times this week.  :)  Not to make excuses, but I felt like it would be a bit difficult to eat every few hours in zone proportions while there - and trying to deal with it would make the vacation less of a 'vacation.'  So I just said screw it and ate the entire island. Maybe not the best strategy.

Anyway, I'm ready to get going.   Other than the sunburn I'm rested, motivated and ready to give 100% with my job, my family, and crossfit.

This upcoming week we're going to do a bit of catchup with the workouts.  (see workout of the day blog)  I'm available mornings or afternoons Mon-Wed, and mornings on Thursday.  This weekend is my Crossfit certification in Union City, and I'm both excited and a bit anxious to go.  I hope to bring back tons of things to help us all improve.
Hey guys, I'm back!

Lots of workouts to catch up on.  Of course I'm not going to be here Thursday night - Sunday, but any morning or late afternoon between now and then I'm ready to go.  Just toss me an email and let me know.

Hmm....  On the schedule for this week, looks like we skipped Murph, Overhead pressing workout, 50 burpees, Elizabeth, 4x800 meter runs, Diane, Fran, and 7x3 Overhead Squats.

Thats a lot of catching up to do, I would recommend making the three girls a priority this week (Elizabeth, Diane, and Fran).  Pick either the 4x800 meter run or the 50 burpees for a day, and pick either the OHS or the overhead pressing workout(put these between the girls).  Murph will have to wait for another day.

Warning

Don't try Eugene Crossfit if you want to keep the drudgery in your workouts. There are plenty of workout plans that deliver little results, are boring, and don't really have a goal in mind.

Crossfit is very bothersome for people who like workouts like these.

Crossfit will change the way you think about your workouts, and by doing that you see amazing results. You immediatly learn to love to workout, to push your body, to try new things. The program you recieve here will make you fitter faster than anything you can imagine. Every client that has given it a month will testify.

You don't have to be an athlete to come. Heck, you can be in the worst shape of your life, I scale you back and ramp it up at a steady and safe pace. You'll have the results that you never thought possible in no time. And once you get there, you'll be thirsty for more. (instead of yo-yoing)

Eugene Crossfit is NOT a gym. It is a fitness school. In time, along with getting fit, you will learn technique on everything, how to apply intensity, the aspects of fitness, how and what to eat, how to coach your fellow mates, recovery, motivation, virtuosity, flexibility and much more.

Give me a call or shoot me an email for your free 1 on 1 introductory session. Lets get started now.
