The first thing we think of at the start of a new year are resolutions.
Resolutions are great for making promises with yourself: To fulfill an act of self-improvement, quit a bad habit, begin a new routine, vow to begin doing something slightly nice for other people, etcetera, etcetera. Resolutions are also 88% destined to fail.
As I promised, this note is not about resolutions.
Instead of CrossFit OIB, (and me), piggy-backing on your fitness & health resolutions for 2014 . . . I’d rather take advantage of your renewed resolve. Wink. Wink.
So I am here to insist that you consider for a moment this question: What are you training for?
Once you identify your honest answer or answers, (and it’s totally OK to have multiple), you can begin to harness your renewed resolve. Once you make your training congruent with your goals the rest will fall into place. You then move forward by formulating a plan, FOCUS (whether that is on training, eating, or both), COMMIT, and ultimately reap the rewards of SUCCESS.
And CrossFit OIB can help you do this. Through Fitness, Aim, Sport, Endurance, or Spinning Classes; private training and nutrition counseling, the Whole Life Challenge, our CrossFit Community; and of course, our team of coaches. Don’t forget that my door is always open, too.
Here’s your homework assignment: In person, on social media, on our blog, or any other random way I get to you and ask“What are you training for”, be ready with your answer(s)!!
I look forward to seeing you all at the box very soon.
Happy New Year!
