"All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking."
-Freidrich Nietzsche

Go for a walk today, by yourself, and think. You could think about the challenges you must overcome this week, re-evaluate goals, friends, family, loved ones...or just the rest day question below. Whatever it is, just walk and reflect on things. You'll feel better for it.

Rest Day Question:
What is your current number one fitness goal and what are you doing to achieve it? (Ex: Do a muscle up, 100 unbroken double unders, deadlift X lbs, sub-X mile run.....)

The spartans were known for their courage and prowess on the battlefield. They were some of the most hardened warriors the world has ever seen. What made them so successful was their unity. A single warrior, no matter how great, was nothing in pitched battle. But by working together, in a single cohesive unit, they were quite formidable.

Today will be a team WOD, don't let youre teammates down.

Rest Day

Lets take a minute to talk about rest days. Crossfit's slogan is forging elite fitness. Now that doesn't mean we're elite but it DOES mean we're "in the forge," on the road to being the best version of ourselves. Now the road to becoming elite is a tough one. We must train with maximal intensity and focus. At the same time we have to take care of our bodies which means getting good sleep, eating right and RESTING.

Someone didn't just pull 3-days-on out of a hat, it took careful testing and evaluation to come up with that. Until you are at a competitive level, I would suggest taking it as a MAXIMUM. You're body needs time to recover, to grow stronger than it was before. You need to listen to your body,  some soreness if's ok but if you're walking around like frankenstein you probably shouldn't show up for squats. Taking a rest day isn't being lazy, you aren't going to get weaker or slower, taking a rest day is just training smart.

So if you've worked out the last three days or are just really sore, rest today and use the time you'd be working out to do something you love.

REST DAY

Introducing rest day questions! Every rest day I'll post a question, or maybe just food for thought. Let everyone know what you think by posting your response in the comments section. Physical fitness is only half the equation. The other half, our mental fitness, allows us to crush our opponents in competition and/or gets us to workout on a day when we don't feel like it. Rest day questions give us a chance to exercise our mental muscles.

So, without further ado:

If you had to do one movement (pullups, cleans, etc.) to maintain your fitness, what would it be and why?

Saturday, July 14th 2012

Hey everyone, just as a reminder, no classes today or tomorrow. Here's a quick WOD if you want to workout from home.

Following a dynamic warmup:

AMRAP 5 minutes:
Burpees

Post your completed number of reps in the comments section.

As a guide, try to hit these numbers:
50 or less reps: Novice
50-75 reps: Intermediate
75-100 reps: Advanced
100+ reps: Elite
