Repeat after me: “CrossFit is not the magic solution. I need to exercise CONSISTENTLY, eat APPROPRIATELY, sleep REASONABLY, drink water in large QUANTITY.”
I guarantee that if you have been coming to CrossFit consistently and putting in even reasonable efforts you will not be able to say that you aren’t physically more fit (can run farther, faster, can lift heavier weight, etc).
So, that leaves the following:
If, in the past few weeks, you have said to yourself “I am not making progress with losing weight/fat.” “I am not happy with how my ______ looks in these clothes.” etc. you can’t blame the workout….
If you are unhappy with how you look and can answer all of the following statements with a “Yes” I will let you train for free:
I am working out at CrossFit 4x per week
I am eating a healthy diet of lean meat, nuts and seeds, vegetables, some fruit, little starch, no sugar.
I am sleeping 7-8 hours per night
I am drinking a minimum of 60oz of water per day
If you can’t answer any or some of these statements with a Yes, why not? And if you can’t answer with a Yes and aren’t doing these things, can you truly be unhappy with how you look?
So, to be blunt, now is the time to stop making excuses and start doing what you need to do to truly accomplish the goal that you want: to be fit and look as good as you possibly can - starting today.
We are here to train you and help push you. We have classes early in the morning or later in the evening so you can always get a workout in. We are available to guide you on your nutrition issues if you would like us to. We supply all of the water you can possibly drink.
The fat won’t vanish - you are “earning” your way to the issues you are having on a daily basis….either fix it or accept who you are and how you look and focus on being as healthy as you can without making the changes you know you need to make….
PS: This is said with MAD LOVE for all of you! I truly want every single one of you to succeed - I feel all of your successes and your failures! I am in this with you 100% and will help in any way I can to get you to where you want to go! Sometimes a bit of “tough love” helps us all get back on track!
