CROSSFIT SUFFOLK: Powered By SPARTAN PERFORMANCE

Many adults walk into the gym for the first time and feel intimidated.  We understand this.  Children, on the other hand, walk into the gym and are instantly fascinated.   There is wonder and excitement.  There is curiosity and joy.  There is no sign of fear.  Kids don’t concern themselves with “looking foolish” or worry about what other people are thinking.  Children don’t concern themselves with doing an exercise wrong and getting hurt.  They just play. And learn. And grow.  My favorite cue to a new person trying CrossFit for the first time is, “Please stop analyzing  every little detail.  Have fun.  Have fun like you’re a child.”  It’s how we tell an adult to relax without saying the word relax.  

See that young man in the photo below?  He does everything.  He lifts heavy things.  He runs.  He jumps.  He hangs from the rings and swings.  He squats.  He does burpees.

 Want to know what he doesn’t do?

He doesn’t get intimidated.  He doesn’t get frustrated.  He doesn’t compare himself to the other people in the room.  

He has fun as he grows better and stronger everyday.

Doesn’t that sound like a good plan?

    That Kid don’t care if it rains, better yet he’d go outside and play in the rain, have boat races in the puddles, stay out till his mother yells at him to get inside before he catches a cold…. notice the well placed sign in the top right of the photo…If your not ready for some rain then maybe you need to watch this: https://youtu.be/2_9WJSzV6fw
