The metcon ended and my hands felt like the skin was burning off of them (I'm pretty sure it actually was) and on my drive home as I was attempting to hold on to the steering wheel I was thinking how much I love crossfit. I seriously never want to go back to a regular/globo gym ever again. Call me a psycho but let me tell you why I love crossfit so much with the help of some Friends.
// The workouts are already set for me when I get there. I don't waste any time roaming around aimlessly trying to pick a useless machine. Everything is programmed and ready to go.
//I can't just quit during the workout because I'm tired. Crossfit pushes me past my limits, makes me a better athlete and makes me actually WANT to finish the workout even if I am dying!
//Beating my old time on a workout or getting a PR on a lift makes all of my blood, sweat and tears worth it.
//I have seen some serious muscle growth in the past few months. More growth than ever since I started lifting weights two years ago. All the quad muscles!
//Some days, I don't actually want to leave the gym because I am all amped up after the metcon!
//I have met some super awesome people, seriously. At a normal gym I would never become friends with EVERYONE at the gym but at crossfit I totally am. The community is seriously everything. Everyone is so encouraging and uplifting.
// When I don't think I can get a lift, or do a certain workout there is always someone there to tell me that I CAN do it. I usually feel like a million bucks afterwards.
//AND fyi if I want I want to workout without a shirt on I can!! Take that globo gym!
But in all seriousness I think everyone should try crossfit. It is really SO much better than a regular ole gym. I love the workouts, my coach and all my little crossfit friends I have made!
But, crossfit has unfortunately turned me into this type of person..........
I feel you Joey.
Hahaha, I love anything with FRIENDS GIFs on it haha. I've never done Crossfit, but I've always wanted to give it a go. I'm more of a runner (ugh-- i hate calling myself that) and I do a lot of Interval training, HIIT, and sometimes the weight machines at the gym.
