Remain Calm

We have all heard that workouts and exercise need to be intense. I have found that it is sometimes difficult to be maintain intensity and maintain proper form. So what is more important? Is it better to be intense with poor form or is it more productive to collect your thoughts, remain calm and maintain proper form?

The answer is… It is better to remain calm and maintain proper form throughout your entire workout. The goal of every CrossFit athlete is to maintain proper form with highest levels of intensity. I have found it is best to stay mentally checked in and focused during your workouts. This takes a bit of mental toughness. Remaining control of your emotions and being aware of your surroundings produces the best possible results. Performing functional movements takes time to master. Be patient. Focus on improving the fundamentals. Practice the mechanics of movements. This is the best way to achieve
the full benefits of exercise.

Today’s WOD:

7 – Overhead Lunges / 7 Burpees / 7 Squat Cleans / 7 Push Ups – 7 Rounds
