College Football is now back in full swing, Labor Day weekend is upon us and it’s Friday. To celebrate this Fantastic Friday today, we’re going to have a little fun.
CrossFit Jacked has searched the internet high and low, heck, even some we’ve come up with on our own but we’re bringing you a whole host of ways you can determine if you’re in love with CrossFit.
We hope you enjoy, maybe even laugh a little and can relate to a whole lot.
55 Signs You’re In Love With CrossFit.
1) You Give It All You’ve Got – So much so that you’re a train wreck on the floor after each workout. In what other fitness programs would you even think about laying your body on a disgusting gym floor and mentally being okay with it.
2) You can’t wait to come back and do it all over again. – You’ve just completed a WOD and you’re already thinking one of two things…1) I’ll do better tomorrow. 2) Hope tomorrow’s not as bad as today.
3) The last thing you do before going to bed every night is to check Wodify for tomorrow’s workout.
4) The first thing you do every morning is check Wodify for today’s workout. Even if you checked it the night before. You know, just to make sure it didn’t change or that you were reading it right!
5) You hate rest days. They seem to get in the way of you and CrossFit.
6) You like watching people exercise fast. Seriously, it’s really cool.
7) You’ve posted photos of your ripped hand or bruised hook-grip thump (guilty) on Social Media and wear it proudly. Proudly meaning you know how hard you worked. A ripped hand is unfortunate but just another battle scar against you torching fat.
