S03E120 Q&A 4 - The Continual Challenge of CrossFit, Motivation, and Mindful Breaks


Listen Later

Ever wondered why CrossFit never seems to get easier no matter how long you've been practicing? Well, we’re here to tell you it’s not just you. Coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic are back to answer listeners' questions in our fourth Q&A session.

We discuss the complexities of CrossFit, but also the aspects that do become more manageable over time, such as understanding the lingo and knowing your body better. Plus, we explore the significant role that coaches can play in assisting new athletes to comprehend workouts and CrossFit lingo.

Staying motivated in CrossFit can be quite a challenge, but we’re here to share some gems on how to keep that fire burning. From participating in local competitions to mingling with fellow CrossFit enthusiasts, we share our experiences and strategies to maintain motivation and avoid burnout. 

Additionally, we dive into the concept of muscle efficiency in workouts and how to train for increased conditioning and capacity. We also discuss why the stakes need to be high for you to push beyond your limits and go 'really dark'.

Sometimes, taking a break from CrossFit can do more good than harm. We discuss when and how to responsibly take a break from the sport. We underline the importance of listening to your body and taking time to identify the causes of mental fatigue. It’s also important to note that while CrossFit is a significant part of our lives, we should not identify ourselves solely with it. Join us as we discuss how to maintain a positive mindset even during breaks, and the benefits of taking a step back to appreciate the performance aspect of the sport.
