After doing Crossfit for over a year and a half, I have realized not only do I feel great externally, I feel even better internally. When I started doing some of the workouts, there were times when I did not think they would be possible to finish. I would push myself to limits I did not know I mentally was capable of! I started to become so mentally tough, I began to think I could accomplish anything, not only through Crossfit but in my day to day life as well. With every workout you do in Crossfit you always prove to yourself that you can do more than you think you can; push yourself to the next limit. You are now gaining personal integrity, by proving to yourself you’re doing things you did not think you had the capability of doing. Food for thought, are your workouts pushing you to the next level?

So now that the excitement of the New Year’s Resolutions is starting to fade. Are you staying motivated? Are you going strong on  your fitness program? They say that only 20% end up keeping your resolutions. Or have you heard that over 70% of people sign up for a gym membership every January and end up not going ever again after the 1st 3weeks!!! Yikes.

At Crossfit Sioux Falls we focus and encourage on bringing your workout and food journals to class everytime. In my experience as a trainer; a client that keeps a diligent journal achieves their goals every single time! That’s right every client I trained in the last 8 years the ones who kept a diligent food and workout journal reached their goals 100% of the time! Now that says a lot.

One of the main differences with training at a Crossfit space is the advantages of being in a group:

-Working in a group automatically will push you to work harder and improve faster
-The energy of a group is infectious
-It’s much more fun to workout with your friends
-It’s easier to make new friends

The group that works hard together sweats together:-)

What is the “Sweat Storm”?  One example of the “Sweat Storm is when; Every single student is working their butts off together! I have often said it is, “it is hard to work hard”. But it is possible with a group workout. There is something about working out with a group of like minded individuals and the amazing fitness levels that you can push yourself too.
