"If I only had 48 hours to live...I would invade a neighboring country and impose my ideology on them...even if they didn't want it"
-King Julien (Madagascar II)
That's how I feel today...ready to conquer...after a workout like that how could I feel any different.
'Cindy' 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups, 15 air squats...as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. It's a CrossFit Staple, and if you push yourself hard a real beatdown.
Today I managed 12 rounds...hell yeah!
To put that in perspective, just a couple of months ago when I did 'Cindy' I posted a 7. I nearly doubled the output! The first time I did the workout was the first day in the gym. I made it through one round of Cindy and puked.
A lot of people that workout don't get the opportunity to see such dramatic improvements from their gym in such a short period. It's not that they aren't working out on a regular basis or pushing themselves hard from time to time. The issue is in the metrics and the consistency of the effort.
The numbers don't lie...you've got to measure it for it to matter. If you're not actively tracking your results you have no real incentive to push harder.
It's not about waving the result in everyone's face, you celebrate the improvement over last time. That's how real progress is measured.
So track your results in a journal or notebook...set a benchmark for next time and celebrate your success!
