10X Your Potential Intro

If you put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus and you must go beyond them.  ― Bruce Lee

You’re consistent with your training – you have the fitness aspect dialed in, right?

But that’s not today’s topic. What I want to talk to you about today are the gaps that you’re not aware of that are limiting you…preventing you from realizing your full potential.

Giving a workout your all is hard…it hurts to push yourself. Muscles burn, breathing becomes difficult, and your mind starts to tell you to stop.

I’ve been there just like you.

There’s a way to make it easier. What if you could make small tweaks to your daily habits that reduced injury, increased energy, and took our performance to the next level?

Achieve your highest level of athletic performance every time with this routine

CrossFit’s missing a vital component of fitness, especially if you want to achieve peak athletic performance.

Morning vs Evening Workouts – Which Is Better

AM vs PM Workouts

I love working out in the morning. It’s one of my keystone habits – the one routine that occurs at the beginning of the day that naturally puts me in the right frame of mind and on the path to a successful day. After my morning workout, I’m more energized, my mind is clear knowing my workout is behind me, and I just feel great after.

If I tell myself I’ll exercise after work, it never happens. Life catches up and my priorities change by the end of the day.

But that’s not to say the morning is the best time to exercise.

When is the ideal time – morning or afternoon/evening?

It depends.
