Lately I’ve been asking myself a big question: could I do this alone? Would I be able to keep up a 4 day a week crossfit schedule? Meet my goals? What kind of equipment would I use? Answer: a 35# kettlebell, which is all I have. I’d have to put in a pull-up bar at a minimum. I might need a couple of 35# dumbells. I’d have to buy a jump-rope too.
But the equipment isn’t the problem. Figuring out WODs is not the problem (lots of resources for that.) The problem is motivation. What would happen if I went solo for six months? Or just worked out alone two days a week and went to the box two days a week?
I honestly don’t know. I suspect that one thing that helps overcome the inertia is the community aspect. Community can be fun; alone is — well just alone. But “alone” would be one way to test my motivation and discipline.
Cheers,
