Hello DogTowner’s

This week’s topic is about staying focused in the gym and outside the gym. Each and every one of you should have fitness goals. Maybe losing weight. Maybe gaining weight. Maybe getting stronger. Maybe increasing muscle tone. Maybe feeling better. Whatever your goal(s) are, you need to stay focused and on the path to achieve these goals.

In The Gym

To most efficiently achieve your fitness goals, you first have to show up to DogTown CrossFit and participate in classes. This, of course, requires a commitment. For most of you, this will require at least a four or five day commitment to the gym every week.

Not only must you participate in classes, you must strive to get better everyday. If your goal is to get stronger, you must dial in your weightlifting. Get more proficient at your lifting form. This will keep you safe and also allow you to start increasing the amount of weight you lift during the workouts. This, in turn, will lead to achieving your goal of getting stronger.

The point here is this; your goals will not achieve themselves! It takes hard work, dedication, and focus. Learn to stay focused and keep your sights on what you want to achieve.

If you think you need some extra help in staying focused and achieving your goals, let the coaches know. That’s why we do what we do. Each and every coach at DogTown enjoys helping people achieve their goals. Sunday Open Gym is another great option. Come to the gym and make extra headway towards your goals at your own pace.

Outside The Gym

Staying focused on your goals outside the gym is just as important (maybe even more important) than inside the gym.

Think about it this way: If you come to DogTown 5 times a week that’s a total of 5 hours of CrossFit per week. The remaining hours of the week total up to 161 hrs (23 hours per day x 7 days). Clearly, you spend much more of your time outside of the gym. Learn how to use this time wisely to positively affect your fitness goals.

Coach Sean is currently meeting with members to consult them on their personal fitness goals. He can help you determine what to eat (depending on your goals), explain how to get better rest to reduce stress, and generally how to take better care of your body. This will make your time at DogTown more efficient and productive, allowing you to stay focused on your goals.

Everyone at DogTown CrossFit has goals. The owners, the coaches, the members. Those who do best at achieving their goals are the ones with the ability to stay focused. When you learn how to keep yourself focused inside and outside the gym, you will feel comfortable setting even higher fitness goals. There is no limit! Enjoy your time at the gym! Have fun being healthy!

Let me know if I can help keep you focused. See you at the gym!
