Lookin’ Good, Feeling Nervous?
Written by C.J. Martin
The big day is almost upon us! The final day of the Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good Challenge is this Wednesday. Our photographer will be at the gym to take photos of all the competitors at 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The Challenge workout will be held at each of our regularly scheduled sessions.
This should be an exciting time for those 70+ of you who have been eating well and training hard over the past 7 weeks. So how will you approach the final couple of days?
Today’s workout shouldn’t be too strenuous on those of you who are planning to “peak” for the big event on Wednesday. But, you shouldn’t be afraid to take it a bit easy either. If you know you are heading into competition, it doesn’t make any sense to crush yourself in the couple of days before. It does, however, make sense to get into the gym and move a little bit. Do some foam rolling, do our dynamic range of motion warm-ups, practice some technique, and get your blood flowing.
Tomorrow, well, I suggest you sleep in. If you cannot keep yourself out of the gym, come do some light myofascial release and the warm-up, and maybe practice some technique, but that’s it.
Even if you’re not in the Challenge, Wednesday will be a great opportunity to see how you have progressed since February 1. We will be repeating the same workout, so check your Performance Logs and set some goals for yourself. By how many points will you improve?
And finally, every member of the Invictus family is invited to our celebration on Sunday night at Confidential (a super cool lounge downtown, set up by one of our super cool members). At that party, we will crown the winners of the Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good Challenge, and we will celebrate the performances of the 15 Invictus athletes who will be challenging themselves at the SDAZ Sectionals on Saturday and Sunday. If you intend on celebrating with us, please make sure you RSVP to info@crossfitinvictus.com.
