The Sunday blog is up! This week we’re talking about what it means to be “mentally tough.” This doesn’t just apply to that terrible workout you did last week. Mental toughness pertains to all the difficult things you deal with in life. Building a strong mental foundation will get you through tough moments, inside and outside of the gym. The question now becomes, how do I become mentally tougher? As today’s article will soon tell you, it starts by deciding what you’re are going to do. Whether that’s deciding to go to the Crossfit games, or just be the best parent and spouse that you can be. Once you truly commit to these decisions, nothing can stop you. This Sunday’s article is very simply titled “Mental Toughness” written by Sage Burgener. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Sunday blog! I’m very excited about the week’s topic. We’re going to be discussing the importance of patience and time. It’s very common in today’s society to expect results quickly from ones actions. As it pertains to Crossfit this is rarely the case. It’s very important to realize that you have to be patient with your goals. Whether it’s performance related or you just want to look good during pool season it all takes time. You may not see the results as soon as you want them. But if you continue to work hard and stay consistent no goal is outside of your reach. This week’s article titled “The Power of Patience” elaborates on this amazing virtue.
