Excuses, Excuses

Hey you!

Yes, you!!!

I love hearing excuses for why people can't or won't do workouts. Here's a short list that I've heard in the recent past:

• It's too early in the morning.
• It's too late at night.
• I haven't had my coffee.
• I didn't sleep well last night.
• My back hurts.
• My legs hurt.
• My arms hurt.
• I'm just not feeling a high intensity CrossFit workout right now.
• The workout frightens me.
• My doctor told me "no strenuous activity".
• I don't have my lucky jump rope.
• I have church in the morning.
• I just ate a 14-egg omlette and I might die if I don't lie down.
• When I do CrossFit with other people I'm fine, but somebody might see me doing this on my own and think I'm a crazy person.
• If my family sees me doing burpees, they'll secretly judge me.
• If my friends see me doing burpees, they'll publicly ridicule me.
• Burpees/squats/double-unders/pull-ups/push-ups kinda suck.
• I didn't have an adequate amount of time to mentally prepare for the workout.
• It looks hard.
• My shoes totally clash with the rest of my workout attire.

These excuses are no good, especially for a workout like this one. Workouts should always be a struggle. The great thing about this little fact is that when you come out the other side, you'll feel like a million bucks. Granted, you'll also feel like you've been hit by a train. But that million bucks feeling will stick with you for a while.

So what's you're excuse today? Exactly. Get some!!!
