Wednesday Form: Practice


Consistency before intensity. Do it right before you do it fast. Master the basics. Practice, practice, practice. Better than yesterday. Part of coming into CF is a commitment to certain exercises. Sure we want to crash around and have our HR up, but we also have to want to practice and master movements. That's the only way to see improvements and avoid injury. Why? Because the kind of fitness that happens at CF is a sport!

Of course, please attend the FORM SEMINAR on SUNDAY NOV. 8, 10-noon (see signs at the gym). This is your time to practice the consistency outside of the intensity of class.

BTW, you can watch the CrossFit Snatch Balance instructional here

Recall from Newtonian Physics that a classical system can be fully defined by velocity and position. In particular, if we define the velocity and position of a particle (ie.weight, kettlebell) at some instant its future evolution is fully determined by Newton's Second Law. In other words repititions should be repeatable if the velocity and position are maintained throughout. In human behavior though, the act of moving a particle is radically different...Why? Because we can think (and our thinking isn't always good), therefore the movements need to become mechanical, automatic, and to do that you need to practice, practice, practice......I will be there......with an apple to demonstrate one of Newton's other laws.......
