The journey of a 1,000 miles....


We all have heard the saying " The journey of a 1000 miles starts with one step". What a great analogy when talking about setting off to achieve your goals. Goal setting without vision and action is just wishful thinking. Deciding to do something is not the same as doing..notice the quote doesn't say 'the journey of a 1000 miles starts by deciding to take a step". I can decide to take a step but until I actual do it my journey will not have started. Life is about doing ..if your not doing your dying. The path to your goal doesn't have to be all laid out and perfect..in fact it wont be...I have learned that life is about small adjustments and corrections keeping you on course. Similar to driving a car..u set to get to a destination by making small corrections and turns..u never hold the staring wheel perfectly straight..do you? Take that single step..don't wait for "someday" ..someday doesn't exist. the plan is that first step and your capable of taking it at anytime!!

Plandomization

Crossfit's programming is defined as being "Constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensities" ...while there is nothing wrong with this , I find that the word varied often gets confused with being random. That simple change in ones view of programming totally neglects an individuals awareness and education for well thought out programming. Anyone can randomly throw exercises and rep schemes together. Will this approach render results?..perhaps...but to a limited degree. Programs that are well thought out with specific goals can never reach limitation because of the ability to change ones goals. This is what excites me as a trainer , the ability to assess clients' weaknesses and look to design a program that strengthens these weaknesses all while not allowing strong points to diminish. Sound familiar? " an individual is only as fit as he/she is competent in the ten physical skills"

"An entirely random approach to training, in my humble, lowly, uneducated opinion, is a mistake. Being prepared for any random task is not the same thing as preparing randomly for any task. The importance of this point cannot be overstated."
