I missed my gym! Although Autumn is upbeat and I felt like I had my own personal trainer working out in the basement with me, it in no way compared to the energy and inner drive I have when working out with my fellow CrossFit peeps. I definitely didn't push myself nearly as hard as I do at my gym.
Although the workouts were challenging, and I was left huffing and puffing and sore the following day, they weren't nearly as intense as CrossFit workouts, and I didn't like that. I also wasn't a fan of the six days straight of workouts, even though they focussed on different body parts, with the one day of rest. I prefer my CrossFit schedule of Sunday, Monday, Thursday active rest, and Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday work out.
I know I said a benefit of the 80 Day Obsession is that you can do the workouts any time. Although the idea of having that flexibility is awesome, in reality, it made it so much harder for me to stick to — I'd never be able to do it long-term. Having to be at my gym at a certain time for class forces me to make it a priority. Knowing my CrossFit community and coaches are expecting I show up keeps me accountable. I just don't have the discipline to make myself work out at the same time every day by myself. It's so much less inspiring.
