Tuesday Night Musings with Coach Manny.
Batting Cages and Skateboarding – with the benefit of CrossFit!
Wazzz uppp… Helo Fam!
Tonight, I would like to talk to you about doing things you love outside the box that may include some type of fitness. It can be anything like walking your dog, playing softball, hiking, hunting, some pick-up basketball, or rock climbing. You get the point:)
For me, one of the things that I love to do is skate (skateboard). Skating for me is one of the funnest things ever. Even more so now that I can share it with my kids.
A few weeks ago I was skating with Little Manny and we were outside for about an hour. Just kicking around and flipping some tricks. For the next week or so, my legs were fatigued and sore, in different places then I’m used to being sore after a normal Wod. Around the same time, Randi went to the batting cages and hit about 100 balls and she too noticed that places on her body that haven’t been that sore – were lit. This got me thinking….
At first, I thought my legs are not as fit as I thought they were because they were so sore, but after a while I started to realize that the opposite was true. (The same thing applied to Randi). I realized that if I didn’t move as much as I do in the box, then I don’t think I would of lasted an hour of skating that hard. I’m not saying I won’t be sore because I know I will be, but the fitness I have from Helo helps me do so much more outside of the box and allows me to keep doing these things that I love – even with my age progressing
What I’m saying is that if you have hobbies that require some fitness outside the box don’t let them go to waste. Get out there and use that fitness towards those talents! Have fun and enjoy your time. You may be sore after some parts of it but your body will thank you and so will your mind!
Thanks for reading!
Sincerely,
Coach Manny
