Hey guys,
It’s a beautiful Sunday here in Burlington, North Carolina, and time for another edition of the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! Obviously, it’s a new year here at the gym but we have the same goal: consistency! We want you guys to focus more on simply showing up the positive attitude, and being ready to put forth your best effort, rather than worrying specifically about your immediate results. Consistency and dedication over time is going to get you where you want to be, and we have some awesome programming this week that’s going to move the needle forward. We are going into week 12 of the second phase of our programming and it’s going to be a good one. Let’s have a look below!
- Movement over Intensity: Some of you guys have been here for a long time and some of you guys are just starting out on your fitness journey. I think it’s a great reminder that we want to prioritize moving well over the intensity of our movement. Simply meaning that as we are starting out, or maybe recovering from an injury, or maybe we are just at a point in life where we are starting to slow down our workouts a little bit, whatever the case may be, we want to make sure we are moving well and doing things properly before we had in a tremendous amount of intensity. Intensity is great! But for longevity want to make sure we have a good base with some movement. Just a reminder to always be mindful of the two!
- Shirts: We still have lots of long sleeve T-Shirts at the gym! Tell your coach if you’d like to snag one this week!
