Sometimes it’s incredible how things play out. The past 4 weeks we have been examining our core values at CrossFit Portsmouth. So far we discussed the imPORTance of integrity, humility, hard work and gratitude. This week we look at our last core value, consistency. And what better time to focus on staying consistent than during the holidays. With all of the celebrating, it is one of the toughest times of the year to find a spare moment, nevermind consistent time to put in quality work at the gym. But if we prioritize the process, creating time to come workout becomes much easier. Each of us should search for balance over the next couple of weeks, and we might not be coming as many days a week as we want, but coming when you can and working hard while you’re here will make a huge difference.
