Great and true words. I love the honesty, that will resonate with people and hopefully help them bring it all back into perspective. Life is about more than our workouts. Hope you continue to have fun! Thanks!

My how the mindset has changed. Not bad not good just different. An old friend Susan Robinson once said to me”don’t take it so seriously it’s only a workout program” Those words really resonated with me, I am only doing this for me. As a side note I have heard some people say the fitness program isn’t hard enough. All I say to them is put some weight on the bar and try it.

Thanks Nick!

Up until a fwe months ago I had a slightly different mentality. I would go in with the goal of beating everyone around me. And when I didn’t, I beat myself up over it. Thats no way to train. I want to walk out of Invictus feeling like i shed a mental and physical load off my body and have a smile stretched across my face. Lately, I’ve been competing against me. “Oh the WOD calls for 10 push press RX @ 135? Hmm, I know thats alot of weight for me at those reps, I could probably only do 5 before dropping the bar….but I’m going to try for 8” When I challenge myself like that, or challenge myself like that and forget about what everyone is doing around me, I found myself alot happier with what I was doing. I wasn’t holding myself to impossible standards, but I was challenging myself and progressing.

Thanks for the post Nick! You hit the nail on the head.

Good write up buddy.

Could not have said it better myself. I have definitely struggled with this in the past and been self destructive as a result. Its never a bad thing to go back and remind yourself of your priorities in life and your purpose in doing crossfit. Friendships and being able to keep up with my kids on a daily basis are at the top of my list! Thank you Nick!

It’s so funny because a member and myself were just talking about this very thing yesterday. I am certainly not elite, but I am dedicated to my health and well being. Oh, and I do enjoy watching and cheering for the elite.
