Monica figuring out the parallel bar traverse!

The energy in the gym during Wednesday's workout was amazing! I can recall numerous times that the entire class erupted in cheers for folks hitting big lifts and setting new PR's. That's the awsome part of CrossFit and the community that develops within our group classes. That is also something that helps these workouts become more effective. The support and encouragement from friends is an excellent source of motivation.
It also helps to keep us accountable, especially on days that you don't really feel in the mood to show up. You get a call from a friend or you show up and see who else is there and all of a sudden you feel a surge of energy and are ready to tackle the workout! That group dynamic is important. Today is a running workout. There aren't many of us who look forward to these days, least of all myself. But I do it because i know it's something I need to improve upon. You might say to yourself, "Oh I'll do this at home on the weekend instead...", but how often does that happen? We are all here to help you get through the workout and finish and we will be right there to cheer you on every step of the way. Try to get that at the track next to your house! We don't post our workouts in an effort to let you cherry pick the ones you like and don't like, so if you're committed to coming on Thursday, check out the workout, dress yourself appropriately and get your mind right. You can find the workout listed under today's date at www.crossfit.com.

Today I got an awesome text message, it said:

"I bought jeans yesterday that are a size 2... When I started CrossFit is was a size 12!!! 10 sizes! that's priceless. I love C. :) "

Obviously this is the kind of stuff we love to hear as coaches. Personally, I see CrossFit as performance based but most of you work your asses off to do just that, work your asses off. The asthetics will almost certainly follow as long as you keep a healty diet (meaning no grains and no sugar) and show up and work hard. It's not just about a better Fran time and bigger deadliftt, sometimes you just want to look and feel better! That being said, we will have another nutrition seminar in the near future to answer questions and make sure you guys are on the correct path nutritionally. Until that time, start here
 

This Friday, after the 5:45 classes, we are headed to Westy's for some bowling. Everyone is invited to join us, if you're newer to the Boise CrossFit please stop by and start being able to put some faces to the names that you see on the board (or windows) at the gym!
