7 TIPS ON BEING THE BAD ASS KITTY YOU ARE IN THE BOX:
1. Go hard in each wod and don't "save your energy" for the next rep. You will always be out of breath and it will always be painful--but you love it."
2. Don't be afraid to fail over and over again. You will never get better if you don't push yourself to your limit and that requires landing on the ground..on your ass...questioning yourself why you are doing this.
3. Eat healthy after you train. Don't waste your time getting your sweat on if you're going to "reward" yourself with a greasy meal right after. "Man, that wod was tough." "Mmm..this burger tastes so good" "FAIL."
4. Have fun because no one likes a bitchy Crossfitter. If you're going to get angry, take it out on the WOD.
5. Love your progress and believe in your strength and training. If that bar looks heavy just breathe deep, growl and pick it up! Yes, I said growl. Aggressive gals get shit done and if you're not afraid of the bar, you're not even close to making the bar afraid of you (Camille Leblanc said something similar two years ago in an interview and it stuck with me ever since.)
6. Rest days are just as important as training days. You need to recover even if you don't want to. Being addicted to the WOD is not always a good thing so know your limits, take a break and watch some T.V.
7. Quit staring at the mirror and pick that shit up. Oh wait, there's no mirrors in Crossfit---another reason why you love it.
