Tuesday

Workout:
As many rounds as possible in 18 minutes of:
10 Clean and Jerk (ladies 45-65#, gents 75-95#)
5 pullups

A lot of people ask me how often should they train. My answer is that you will get out of your training what you put into your training. If you train once a week you will get once a week results. If you train 5 times a week you will get 5 times a week results. Consistency is also very important. If you train consistently 2 times a week you will get better results than the person who trains 4 times one week and then misses the next 3 weeks of workouts. If you aren't consistent you will never be able to achieve the level of intensity that makes CrossFit such a successful training method. Developing the habit of regular exercise is more important than how much you can lift or precisely how often you work out. Fitness is not something you do for 6 weeks, achieve, and walk away from. Fitness is a lifelong habit that will pay dividends for your entire life.
