Crossfitlegacy is now offering 6AM classes on Tuesday and Thursday. I am going to switch to Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. I hate to leave my current classmates but this new schedule is going to work better for me.
The holiday’s are over at the JCC for this year so I will be able to get back to a regular KB schedule on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Assuming a couple of extra Crossfits on Saturdays during the month this will make for a complete workout schedule.
Had a long telephone conversation with Dave the Trainer today about my KB workouts and overall fitness plan. WIth my recent back issues, all the holidays at the gym and starting Crossfit I needed to refocus on a path forward.
For the longest time I pushed and pushed to use heavier and heavier KB weight. My desire to accomplish that was a motivation. Along with the heavier weight came more reps. I worked myself to a point where it really was not fun anymore. Once I knew I could lift the heavier weight I lost my drive. The fun was going out of the workouts because I was working so hard.
Dave and I talked about this and with the intensity of the Crossfit workouts we are going to drop my KB weights down. I want to be able to look forward to a workout everyday, not dread them. My purpose, as always, has been to simply be as functional as possible, now and far into the future. I am not training for a sport, I am not going to run a marathon, I am just trying to live everyday. Dave is going to create three workouts for the week and I will decide each morning which one to do in large part based on how I feel and how the previous day in Crossfit went.
I am looking forward to the change next week.
Good thing you are so in touch with your motivation. Makes sense!
