I like this opinion.
http://crossfitlisbeth.com/2012/01/03/time-to-do/

Also, is there a difference between a resolution and a goal?

AB said...

Andy - making the airdyne cry is an awesome goal!

Aaron - http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_Glassman_BrandDevelopment.mov

Garrett - I don't believe there is a difference, but because the word "resolution" becomes so popular this time of year, might as well try to have people start thinking REAL hard about what they're wanting to accomplish.

Garrett said...

AB - I was wondering because on the post you refer to both "fitness resolutions" and "fitness goals". I liked Lisbeth's post, however if she substituted the word resolutions for goals, I would completely disagree with her.

only managed to get in 8 sets of deadlifts before we had to move on to Annie. i can get a few double unders but scaled the workout to 10 double unders each round.

i like the double WODs but find the lifting portion to be difficult to complete in time, esp when doing 10 rounds and having to change weights with partners every set. perhaps put a limit on class size for these type of workouts?

next year i want to do the following (among other things):
1. master double unders
2. do hspu
3. master kipping
4. muscle up (strict would be cool)
5. get ridiculously strong
6. do all name workouts Rx and get close to making the top 5 list of a named WOD
