Happy New Year ShedHeads!

 

Thanks for a wonderful year!

 

What Does It Take to Train Like an Athlete? (courtesy of CrossFit Bartlett)

  • It takes an enormous amount of being uncomfortable.
  • It takes tons of hard work.
  • It takes tons of data collection.
  • It takes an extreme amount of dedication.
  • It takes a huge focus on your nutrition.
  • It takes mental focus.
  • It takes extreme efforts.
  • Lastly and most importantly, it takes heart.

Does any of this sound familiar?

If you train like an athlete and focus on these attributes good things will come.

    Last year, my New Year’s Resolution was to get into better shape, though this was not the first time I had proclaimed such a lofty goal. In fact, I had made that resolution countless times, but this time last year I found myself in a dire situation. I was overweight, failing my Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), and losing the respect of my soldiers, my peers, and my superiors. If I had continued to fail my APFT, I would’ve been dropped for the Officer Candidate School program and maybe even from the Army. When I choose that resolution last year I knew that it had to be more than words, I would need to transform it into actions, and so I took the only first step I knew…I Googled ‘CrossFit Budd Lake, NJ’ 🙂
    On February 9th, I visited RedShed for the first time and discovered more than a gym. The camaraderie and positive energy at the Shed was something I didn’t expect. With the help of Janine, Pat, and all you other ShedHeads, I was not only able to pass my APFT but soon I was outperforming my peers. My squats were deeper than theirs, my push-ups were cleaner than theirs, and they complained about the weight of their ruck sack long before I did. RedShed & CrossFit had taught me how to do real exercises and challenged me to do them outside of my comfort zone!
    I’ve suffered some setbacks last year but nothing that can’t be regained with time and effort, both of which I plan to continue to invest into CrossFit and RedShed, HOOAH!
