160328 - CrossFit | Exercise is Bullpucky.
What does your doctor mean when he says you should get more exercise?
Does s/he mean to carve out an hour out of your day to just move around?
What does that mean exactly? This?
Really? I mean, really? What are we accomplishing here? Wasting time. That's why workout routines don't work. You're wasting time. Lift things. Heavy things. Do toes to bar for abs.
Really? Really? You ran one, almost 10 minute mile on the treadmill and you're treating yourself to a venti frappucino? Not your fault Emma. You're taught to reward yourself with food. You're taught that any amount of effort is better than nothing. Thank god you're not sitting on your butt, but sheesh.
You don't like lifting weights? That's fine, learn adult gymnastics. Not just handstand walking and the kipping muscle-up, but enroll in actual gymnastics classes.
You like to sweat but don't want to do it pushing sleds and doing burpees? That's fine, take up jiu jitsu. Not kickboxing class, but straight up gi/no gi jiu jitsu. You'll sweat and learn valuable defensive techniques (also goes for krav-maga)
You want to be competitive in a sport that isn't the sport of fitness? Cool, become a triathlete. Swim, bike, run. And not a dabbler. A triathlete. Get coached on swimming, learn how to set up and efficiently ride a bike both solo and in a pack, and then run hard and fast and crush your age group. You are not crushing anything other than your soul if you're talking in a group during bikes rides or runs BTW.
You want to dance around for an hour while you break a sweat? Go learn salsa or swing. Not "Hip Hop Fitness" which is neither dancing hip hop nor fitness.
If you do any of these things, you will have a level of accountability and task and purpose not found in any hobby-like pursuit.
Or,
You can come here. And for that hour of the day, we'll challenge you. Push you to your limits and then do it again. We'll make you do things you wouldn't do by yourself. We'll make you stronger, faster and mentally tougher. All you have to do is show up. And you won't feel like you're wasting your hour a day on "exercise," you'll be improving yourself in tangible and life-changing ways.
