Do you ever get through a WOD and scream DONE! and then saunter off the floor, grab a sip of water and start a conversation with someone who is about to start the next class?  If you do then its time for a call out.  YOU PUSSED OUT ON THAT WORKOUT!

Seriously folks, have you ever watched the firebreathers here at SPARK?  Do you marvel how fast they can go, how much weight they can move and how well the movements are done?  Do you wonder how they seem to go forever without a rest and how most of the WOD seems effortless? 

Now let me ask you this…have you EVER seen them finish a WOD, dab at their forehead to remove the “glisten” and start gabbing while sipping their drink?  HELL NO YOU HAVEN’T!  Guaranteed they are in a sweaty heap on the floor for a few minutes trying to put their life back together.  They are firebreathers because they always give 100% and they are in a constant state of “I MUST BETTER MYSELF”.

So, time to take a look at yourself.  Are you going through the motions or are you working?  Are you half-assing your time here or are you getting better?  Do you hit every WOD like someone you love life depends on it?  If not, its time to bear down and re-commit.  TODAY! 

If you know you should be going heavier, add more weight, if you know you don’t need that long of a rest, shorten it and if you get through a WOD and you have something left in the tank BURN IT OFF!  Go do another round or put some more weight on and do some more reps, go sprint a 400 or 800 or whatever just use your time here to the fullest because if you are honest with yourself you know you probably aren’t going to go home and do something else.

Now of course I am not talking to those of you that are new or are learning these movements.  Obviously we want you to be safe and do what you can but please remember that if you have time after class you should still be working on your goats and / or really trying to finish yourself off.

As coaches we can encourage, motivate and suggest but at the end of the day its up to you to kick your own ass…so do it.  It doesn’t mean you have to do it as Rx’d, it just means you have to do what you can as hard as you can.

By the looks of Michelle’s face, you have to know she’s giving it her all.  And by the progress she’s making you know its working.  Nice work girl!
