Each week as I’m going through and creating/tweaking programming I get pretty excited about the week to come.
Part of the beauty of the CrossFit methodology is that (if done right) we’re able to hit so many different types of workouts.
Different movements, different intention, different stimulus, different results, different benefits.
I’m going to do my best to give a little more insight into how to get what you want out of your workouts.
As always- listen to your coaches, ask questions, take the movement/weight recommendations. Be coachable.
Think about what you want and plan out your week.
