1/11 Whole Life Wednesday

1/10/2017

0 Comments

 
Corinne, Dover and Tammy have all completed a Whole Life Challenge. They also test their mental toughness by deadlifting blindfolded. Mark Twight, owner of Gym Jones, trained the cast of 300 and had them deadlift blindfolded. How do you think deadlifting blindfolded impacts your experience? Tell us in the comments. 
​
It's Whole Life Wednesday and this week's Off Season Skill Practice is to do one thing each day this week that you’ve been “meaning to do” for a long time. In other words, get shit done. 
​The WLC folks think this is an important skill to develop because:
We’ve all been there — standing at the threshold of what looks like an insurmountable to-do list. There is so much to get done, it almost doesn’t seem worth getting started.

What do you start with? And why bother if there are ten more things that come next? Isn’t it too late to send those thank-you cards anyway? And, really, who has the time to get any of these things done?

The irony is that when we have a to-do list hanging over our heads, it’s likely we’re spending more time and energy torturing ourselves over not doing things than it would take to just do them — the act of procrastination takes up more of our schedule than the action itself would.

The key to solving the procrastination problem is to create momentum.

Consider this — have you ever tried to push a car? At first, it’s really hard, and it might even seem impossible.

But once you get the car to budge, even a bit, it loosens from the ground and becomes easier to push. With each step forward, it takes less and less effort to maintain the momentum and make progress. Before you know it, that car is all the way across the parking lot or out of the ditch.

Luckily, life works this way, too.

This week’s skill practice is about making that first budge. By picking one thing to do each day that you can mark off that to-do list forever, you are creating momentum. And once you’ve got your wheels rolling, you might surprise yourself with just how much you can make happen.

Here's the simple instructions for this week's pratice:

  1. 1. Do one thing each day this week that you’ve been “meaning to do” for a long time.
  2. 2. It doesn’t matter how big or how small the task happens to be — just get it done.
  3. 3. Congratulate yourself once the task is complete.

The Whole Life Challenge asks you to examine your life through a different lens – your physical health, your emotional health, and your overall lifestyle. This eight-week challenge will improve your daily habits, leaving you happier, healthier, and more in control of your outcomes. If you’re ready for a change, this is your opportunity. Click the image below to learn more and join our team.

Today's Workout 
​Deadlift 10-10-10

Use the heaviest weight you can for each set.

Rest as needed between sets.
​
We are working strength, stamina, and power in today's workout. Do a 3-5 warm-up sets of 5 reps to get you to your first set of 10. If you want to develop your grip strength, DO NOT use a reverse grip. Grasp that bar with a double overhand grip to get stronger.

​When you record today's WOD on BTWB, be sure to select "As Prescribed (Rx'd)." Good luck!
