Crossfit and Making Goals

Picture taken from this blog at the 2011 Crossfit games

Recently I started doing Crossfit. I've only done it about 3 times, but yesterday was the first time I did Olympic style lifting. I'm so sore today. Times that soreness by 100 and thats how sore I am.

How I felt when I was doing it yesterday:
-Powerful
-Strong
-Awesome

How I feel today:
-Stupid because I can't even take my own sweater off. Thats right, my roommate had to rip it off me.

But it feels great. And it really was hard, the workout consisted of pull-ups, split jerks, knees to elbows, hang cleans, and back extensions, 15 of each and then 3 sets of that.

This was the type of workout that I needed to constantly remind myself of the goals I had set for myself. When you workout with a goal, and remind yourself of it often, its easier to push forward and not give up. I encourage you all to make goals for yourself! Whether you're just starting out, or if you're a seasoned athlete. Make short term and long term goals and let me know about them!

You all should try Crossfit, if you are capable. Its simple, you go to their website, and each day they have a workout of the Day (WOD), and you do it! For you ladies, you should read this article about women and crossfit. Its inspiring!

Have a good healthy day and get that heart of yours pumping!
