      WOD Motivation - Eleanor Brown

      INTRODUCTION

      This is about more than physical strength.

      In the middle of a WOD, when your legs feel like rubber and you can barely lift your arms above your waist, when you’re covered in sweat and feel like you can’t breathe, when the only thought you can manage to put together is that you need this to end, that is the moment when your mind must be stronger than your body.

      Surviving a workout requires genuine mental toughness: the ability to talk yourself through the reps that feel impossible, to convince yourself to start the next round when you only want to rest, to finish with the same determination you had when you started. That’s not easy.

      But it comes with incredible payoffs. WODs change our bodies; they make us better, faster, stronger. But they also change our minds. Pushing through the challenges teaches us about ourselves—how we work, what we need, what we want. In dead lifts, we find resolve and power we never knew we had. In pull-ups, we discover a steely inner strength. Through rowing, we learn to pass through difficult waters. And when we take that knowledge forged in the box and apply it to our lives, amazing things can happen.

      WOD Motivation is about that vital mental portion of your workout. There are mantras to help you make it through your toughest workouts, questions to consider when you feel your commitment flagging, and truths to make you smile and think. We’re drawn to the box because of the way WODs change us on the outside, but we stay because of how they change us on the inside. May the words in this book serve as inspiration and affirmation, but mostly may they be motivation for you to get out there and kick a little ass.

      On the days when the barbell looks like your worst enemy, make it your best friend.

      Do five. You can always do five.

      You may not ever be the best. But you can always WORK THE HARDEST.

      When you are sure you are done, somewhere, buried deep inside you, is ONE MORE REP.

      The only thing you have to be is better than yesterday.

      They’ll call you obsessed. They’ll call you crazy. They’ll say you’ve changed.

      And they’ll be right.

      You’re not the person you once were.

      YOU’RE BETTER.

      You must only be better, stronger, and faster than one person: YOURSELF.
