This past Saturday Coach Julio, attended The Explosive Seminar as staff intern. Coach Julio learned a lot from the seminar and is looking forward to working more seminars. Watch for our programming to become a lot more explosive and watch them PR’s rack up. In case you haven’t heard Ryan’s story, here is a brief bio.

Ryan Moody holds six world records. AND, he is the only documented human being to jump higher than their height! Listen how he returned from a paralyzing injury, and went on to blow people’s minds with his vertical prowess. Look for local seminars coming up in the near future @ www.thexwod.com

Word of The Day (WOD)

Proverbs 15:32

If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.

Thoughts on today’s verse:

Discipline can be a hard thing to take, especially as an adult when we are so used to getting everything our way. When you fight discipline it only makes things worse. Those who fight it end up cutting themselves short of the glory that awaits them. Don’t fight discipline, and allow it to propel you towards success.

CFMH NEWS

Coach Tara found this article, which is an awesome article about CrossFit and Asthma by Shane Eckert. Having dealt with Asthma growing up, I can relate. Here are some key points that can help those with Asthma. To get the full understanding of the article click on the link Asthma & CrossFit to read in its entirety,

Basically Asthma is not an excuse to avoid exercise and CrossFit. As an Asthmatic you just have to approach things in a different way and be more in tune with your body. I can not stress enough that you are capable of more than you think you are. It’s a huge battle with your thinking. If you are like me, you have had years and years of family members, friends, and some doctors telling you that you cannot do it. You cannot play sports, you are not like other capable people, you need to take it easy. Honestly, it’s hard to push through a run when you are being passed by everyone, it’s really hard to push through a WOD when you are still going 20 minutes after the last person has finished. And to make it even worse, all those negative messages you have heard throughout your life are flooding your mind and filling you with doubt.

Think about a few things.

At CrossFit people do not leave after the WOD is over, they stick around and cheer you on. They will do those last 10 pull-ups with you or run that last 800 meters cheering you on. You are not alone in CrossFit.

Recognize that you are doing something incredible. Silence the voices of doubters and haters and the thoughts that threaten your success by looking at what you are doing. You are doing the very thing you were told (and you believed) that you could not do.

Do not compare yourself to others. You will be performing as an athlete, it takes time. Right now, compare yourself to you. Track and measure. Every month make sure you are doing workouts that are similar or identical so you can look back and see where you improved. Push-Ups without a band, Fran in 16:00 and not 32:00, pushups with proper form, 10lbs PR on Squats. You get the picture. Your competition is with the sick and unhealthy you. Worry about the leader boards later.

You are an athlete. I know, shut up! Right? You are, and so words like recovery, performance, and strength are words that now apply to you. Let that sink in and let that build you up. Keep coming back and getting stronger. Eat, sleep, think and CrossFit like an athlete, you are actively taking on the identity that your creator intended for you to have.

If like me you are a Christian, then you will start to make all kinds of connections between the endurance and transformations that happen inside a CrossFit box. (that’s a whole other article) I use scripture and my strength in Christ to finish WODs and I use the strength from CrossFit to push on in my walk with Christ. Discipline in CrossFit directly translates into discipline in all areas of your life, including faith.

Word of the day (WOD)

your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God’s people. (NLT) – Philemon 1:7

Thoughts on today’s verse: When friends get together each encounter promises to hold a time of connection. Sometimes we need to vent and release emotions but if we aren’t careful we can leave them feeling burdened and drained. Do your lift up your friends with love and kindness and leave feeling refreshed?

THE WORD OF GOD

John 14:1

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.

REFLECTIONS

Heart troubles can be the worst. Hurts happen. Are you doing what you can to be troubled free? If you don’t take the time to deal with those hurts and root them out, they will prevent you from being a whole, healthy person.
