SUNDAY
So 2016 has just begun. What does that mean for you? Does the new year inspire you to make healthier decisions with your diet? Does it inspire you to be more consistent with your training? Does starting the new year inspire you to stop slacking in areas of your training that you know you need to be brought to another level? Every week I put workouts together that I feel are challenging and aimed at making you all better athletes. So when certain exercises come up in a workout that you are really not that great at or struggle with like overhead squats, snatches or double unders just to name a few, do you cherry pick? Or do you come in and work on these “goats?” Over the years I see many times that the same people come in four to six times a week and just bypass even TRYING to get their double unders. They opt out for singles and don’t even bother attempting to get their double unders. I feel like I’ve failed as a coach for these people or maybe I’m not tough enough. All I ask is that if you suck at something, at least TRY over and over again. I personally would be really pissed at myself if I didn’t at least try to do something that I sucked at. For example, I suck at running. I’ve been trying to get my running time better FOREVER!! It’s still pretty bad, but every time running comes up in a workout, I push as hard as I can. If you don’t believe me check out my time on any workout on SugarWod that involves running. My time is horrible!! At least I try, and feel pretty awesome knowing this. So wether you suck at double unders, pull ups, running, snatches ect … if you don’t work at it, it won’t get any better. And if it doesn’t get any better, at least you try. That’s all I ask.
2016 has inspired me to spice things up at Thor Fitness. I will keep you posted on some exciting things coming up.
