Rest!
Yesterday I gleefully read an article about those that are likely to join gyms after the first of the year – you know, the New Years Resolution group. The gist of the article is:
- Exercise is good for all so be happy for those that try
- Most will quit by March as they are not as resolute as they believe
- Part of the downfall is preparation – fitness is new to them so the “traditional” gym is not the best place for them.
The article says that those new to fitness should:
find a support network; people who are either at the same fitness level or close to it. Or, if possible, someone who is far more advanced and willing to take them under their chiseled wing. Going at it alone is not easy, and can be rather intimidating to some. Sharing numbers, tips, results, and positive reinforcement with others will help enormously in keeping you on track. This is why it is paramount that you begin forming this network before January 1st, as you do not want to lose focus or time scrambling to organize this support system after the New Year’s bell has already rung.
That advise works well in the CrossFit environment, especially here at TitanFit. The hallmark of TitanFit is our hands-on, training. As member have attested, each session at TitanFit is truly a personal training session. We build, scale, enhance each workout to fit your current needs and to help you become a better athlete.
As the New Year approaches, it is likely we will have a few new folks in the fold. Taking that first step is often the most difficult, but being truly fit, fit for a lifetime is what TitanFit is all about.

comments — i need some instruction on the high cleans, herb. I had zero balance if i only shrugged and dropped under the bar. I had to get a slight knee bend and then extension for my form to be OK. is this still proper form?
i’ve done tabata pushups before and cheated like a mo’fo’. this time they were all chest-to-deck, head forward pushups. and FIVE was my score….FIVE!!! this needs work asap.
the idea for this workout was to muscle SN the weight (so don’t drop under the bar)…it is to work on your foot work and speed.
