You want to get in "shape", loose weight or get stronger and you have been training for a few months. At first it was new and exciting and you looked forward to the "fun". Now though perhaps you are getting bored or maybe you feel the workouts are too hard, what can you do?

First you have to remember what your goals were when you started and how important they were to you. Remember stay focused on the end result and Kentuckiana CrossFit will help you get there.

If you think the workouts are too hard, then simply scale back the amount of weight or the speed at which you do a lift or movement. For instance when doing swing/flip squat pause every 10 to 15 reps, or on snatches, switch hands more often or take a longer rest overhead.

If you are bored is it because the circuit is too easy or do just want to do something different. If it is too easy simply go faster or go heavier. If you want variety talk to the instructor, I'm sure they can come up with something to keep you entertained .

 We recognize the fact that you are going to have good days, where you feel really strong, and some days where you wonder why you got out of bed. On the good days push yourself, on the bad days just getting through it should make you feel somewhat better.

 As Kentuckiana Crossfit grows and evolves we look for ways of improving our classes and incorporating more tools into our classes. Beyond just lifting a weight for the sake of lifting, there should be purpose behind everything you do.To that end we have started incorporating more stretching, some rehab work and more importantly PRE-hab work to make you stronger and more resilient to life's aches and pains.

Our training should not always be about pushing ourselves to the limit (unless we have a specific reason to do so) but to become HEALTHIER, more resilient, and stronger, the side effects typically include weight loss and improved cardio-vascular function.

Stick with it, remember your goals, have fun & improve your health & well-being!

Dave
