To Prove That I Am Still Alive...An Article For You To Ponder On!

I see them all around the gym when the workout has been announced. Intimidated faces, shoulders slouch and eyes hit the floor. Faces that say, “uh oh, this is going to suck”. Or, “I’m horrible at that movement, I’m going to bomb this one.” Or just “F.”

Of course it’s going to suck. They all suck. Name one truly I-just-floated-through-it-like-a-butterfly-in-the-garden easy workout. You can’t. And if you could, everyone is just going to point at you and scream, “sandbagger.”

Ok, so you already know before you even hear the workout that it’s going to suck. You know that there is a good chance that one of your goats is going to be in it. Instead of saying “FML”, you’ve got to say “Screw It” and get your WOD face on.

A WOD face hates intimidation like Elliot Ness hated crime, like everyone hates the rain around April. A WOD face sneers at hardship like that pale blond arrogant snake kid sneered at Harry Potter, like Lennon sneers in “Working Class Hero”. Like…well, you get the picture. Nothing intimidates a WOD face.

Calm yourself, set your face, still your heart. Get that WOD face on. Just by coming into the gym today, you’ve already won. Just by doing the workout, you’re killing it. Just by pushing yourself a little bit, just a tiny bit more than you thought you could, you’ve gotten stronger. You’ve gotten better, you’ve gained. And over the course of a month, a year, 5 years, a lifetime, those little bits of stronger, of better, add up hugely. It doesn’t matter if you ‘bombed’ it, because there is no such thing, there is only a big check mark in the ‘W’ column.

In order to help get your WOD face going, I’ve included some handy examples from the real world. I hope they help you with your WOD face and attitude.

CANCELLED- Epic Grind

Due to the fire at Scoggins Creek Fire near Hagg Lake- the Epic Grind has been cancelled this weekend. :(

 http://www.epic-grind.com/ 

This is the post on the website: 

Epic Grind Cancelled Due to Hagg Lake Fire

We are dismayed to announce that our beloved Epic Grind has been cancelled this year because of the forest fire at Hagg Lake. Our state governor has already declared a state of emergency. At this point the lake is closed for the entire week, which means no obstacles are allowed to be set up and no one is allowed to enter the premises. Within this coming week please look for additional communications from us with more news. Refunds are coming and more info will follow. Our deepest regrets and sincere apology to each of you, but our thoughts are with the families affected by the fire and the brave firefighters and personnel working to contain it.

Reminder: 1 week until the BOD Pod returns to BCF!

September 22 & 23rd


The Bod Pod will make it's way back to BCF!   This is a machine that calculates your body composition (Muscle Mass & Body Fat percentages).  If you haven't done it before, this is your opportunity to get a starting point to set goals for yourself, not only for weight loss but muscle gain as well.   If you haven't already paid, it is $25.

For those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about, the Bod Pod is one of the most scientifically accurate methods to test your body composition (Muscle Mass & Body Fat percentages). It is used by athletes, scientists, doctors, and the military around the world. The margin of error for these machines are less then 2% where as a majority of the other methods our there (pinch test, scales, tape, etc) vary anywhere between 8% & 20%. If you truly want to be able to track your results this is the way to go. If you have any questions or to get signed up, please contact us or chat with us after class.
