Harden Up!

Coastal CrossFit News May 20, 2013

The weather has cooled down and gym attendances are on the decline which is the trend that we see every year at this time. Let me remind you that we have one of the mildest winters of anywhere in the world and there are CrossFitters in our southern states, let alone Canada and Europe that would laugh at the idea of missing training due to the Queensland winter.

All you need to do is get yourself from your bed to your car (which has a heater) and into the gym and we’ll turn on your internal heater for you!

Lifestyle Millionaire

What defines life successes?Take a moment to ask yourself this question and challenge your perspective. In a previous article, I reflected on CrossFit’s “What is Fitness” and how it reshaped my view of fitness. More importantly, it broadened my perspective on life. For many, financial success is the goal—but this is just one piece of the puzzle. What good is financial freedom if you lack health, functionality, or meaningful relationships to enjoy it? In CrossFit, we often say, “You are as strong as your weakest link.” We aim to develop balance across the 10 General Physical Skills: A deficiency in any of these areas is where the greatest improvement can be made. This principle applies beyond fitness to all aspects of life. Consider these simplified pillars of life—no single one is more important than the others: 1. Physical Health 2. Mental & Emotional Health 3. Relationship & Social Connection 4. Financial Stability & Freedom 5. Purpose & Self-Improvement 6. Quality Nutrition 7. Balance & Leisure How These Pillars Interact A truly quality life isn’t just about excelling in one area but finding harmony across all pillars. Strengthening one often positively influences others—for instance, improving physical health can enhance mental clarity and emotional resilience, while financial freedom can allow more time for relationships and leisure. Ultimately, the goal is to create a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. In my opinion, those who find balance across all these areas are living truly rich, fulfilling lives. They are the ones who achieve the status of a Lifestyle Millionaire. Time HorizonSuccess isn’t just about the present—it’s about building a foundation for the future.Ask yourself:Where do I see myself at 40, 60, 90, or even 100 years old?Are my current actions aligned with that vision? Your future will reflect where you choose to invest your energy today. Take ActionIdentify the area of your life where you’re currently weakest and start there. Small, consistent steps in the right direction will empower you to take control and responsibility for your own life. Nothing happens by accident—every outcome is a result of your choices. By making the hard decisions now, you can earn the rewards later. Holistic success is a journey, not a destination. Strive for balance, aim for growth, and build the life you deserve. We all have the potential to become Lifestyle Millionaires—the question is, are we willing to put in the work to make it happen? – Written by Marie.

WOD: Wednesday

*Check out our new Acromat flooring! A. Pause Front Squat + Front Squat *5-7 sets to work to a max for the day. B. For load and reps: 1 min Snatch (medium load) 1 min Rest 1 min Snatch (med/heavy load) 1 min Rest 1 min Snatch (heavy load) 1 min Rest 1 min Snatch (med/heavy load) 1 min Rest 1 min Snatch (medium load) *Guide to weight selection. The medium load should be a weight that allows you to do groups of touch and go reps but not so light that you can touch and go for the whole minute without breaking – example 10-15 reps. The medium/heavy load should be a weight that is too heavy for touch and go but should allow repetitive singles – example 6-10 reps. The heavy load should definitely be singles which require a definitive reset between lifts – example 3-5 reps.
