So Justin made a request that I set a few “fitness goals.” He thinks readers will want to hear about my progress climbing the CrossFit mountain (I think rope would be more fitting). Another member chimed in and suggested I write about some process goals; short yet obtainable steps. After doing some thinking I came up with three goals I feel are worthy of blogging about. These are goals I have laid out for myself for the next 90 day.
Goal One: Complete three WOD’s a week.
Goal Two: Rate daily level of commitment (effort/enthusiasm) pre and post WOD on a scale of 1-5.
Goal Three: NO weighing or measuring myself.
These goals seem simple enough, but they also serve as a solid foundation pushing myself to the next level. Maybe that next level is an unassisted pull-up or unbroken mile run. I’ve learned in the three months with CrossFit to be realistic and allow room for errors, confusion and most importantly guidance. The truth is CrossFit requires skills development and repetitive practice. Squeeze your abs. Look forward. Stand up straight. Flat back. Chest up. Drive your knees out. Lock your arms. Hook grip. Elbows higher. Drop your shoulders. Feet under your hips. Stick your butt back. Stand tall. Slight bend in the knee. Use your hips. Every goal needs guidance; I pick up the bar, I’m slightly confused, Aaron yells something at me, I refocus my aim and get to the goal line.
My final goal is not as S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time Sensitive); it’s simply to “show-up” ready with the expectation of something amazing.
