    Mastering the fundamentals is more valuable than worrying about the details. When you are just getting started, focus on three core principles: 1. Start too light: “It is only by focusing on volume, repetition, and easy weights in the beginning that you build the capacity to handle heavier weights later on.” 2. Be consistent: “If you want to make progress, you have to make a reasonable, sustained effort.” 3. Take small steps: “Tiny gains add up fast. Average speed can take you far if you just keep walking.”

    “Break before you are broken” - The title article by Pat Sherwood @sherwood215 from the @crossfittraining Journal - October, 2016 “Perhaps all of us normal folks follow too many CrossFit Games athletes on Instagram and therefore put unrealistic/unnecessary expectations on ourselves. Maybe the pressure is coming from somewhere else. I can't pinpoint the source, but it's out there. Doing something unbroken does not necessarily mean you will do it faster. Managing your personal tolerance of work-to-rest ratio will yield the greatest results for you.” - Sherwood Knowing yourself, your ability and your tolerance with each exercise will allow you to build yourself a program where this week we do 15 reps with a 6/5/4 break up strategy and then in weeks/months, we progress to do 9/6 and then again in weeks/months, we progress to do 15 unbroken will allow us to enjoy the little wins and savour the process. Not only will you be less miserable in a workout, you will do it easier and faster and see progress for yourself!
