Insight
Clarity, confidence, and results come from action.
Not thinking about it.
Not reading about it.
Not talking about it.
Doing it.
It’s easy to say you’re going to do something. And ideas? They’re everywhere. With AI, information is basically unlimited. You can ask a question and get an answer in seconds.
But that’s not the hard part.
Knowing what to do has never been the problem.
Actually doing it is.
It used to drive me crazy when people would say things like, “I could have a six-pack if I really wanted to,” or “I could be a CrossFit Games athlete if I trained harder.” Cool. Then do it.
Because thinking about doing something isn’t the same as doing it.
Talking about it isn’t the same as doing it.
Researching it isn’t the same as doing it.
So whatever it is you want to do - start doing it. Don’t wait until it feels perfect. Don’t hide behind excuses or endless planning. Don’t confuse preparation with real, legit progress.
Once you start and truly commit to the effort, things get clearer. Confidence builds. Momentum starts rolling.
That’s when the magic actually happens.

Workout
EMOM 40
(8 total rounds of the 5 minute sequence)
Minute 1- :45 Row, Bike or Run @ moderate intensity
Minute 2- 8 Thrusters + Lunges in remaining time
Minute 3- :45 Row, Bike or Run @ moderate intensity
Minute 4- 8 Burpees + Air Squats in remaining time
Minute 5- Rest
Coaches Notes:
You’ll repeat this 5-minute sequence 8 times.
You may use the same monostructural movement for Minutes 1 and 3, or switch between two.
Thrusters can be DBs, KBs, or a barbell. Choose a load you can complete 8 reps unbroken.
Adjust reps on thrusters or burpees as needed - you should be getting into the lunges and air squats each round. If you’re not, lower the reps.
Workout Intent:
This workout is about action, not overthinking. You show up, the clock starts, and you just move. You do what’s in front of you. Then you do it again. It’s not glamorous- but it all adds up.
Keep the intensity steady and sustainable, but don’t be afraid to push a little and challenge yourself. Don’t sprint the first few rounds and don’t coast the last ones. Stay consistent. Get the work done and be proud of your effort.
Don’t overthink it. Just do it.
