I've noticed that since I began posting the WOD's ahead of time that some people tend to miss class when certain exercises are prescribed. We call it "cherry picking", which basically means choosing to participate in only the workouts in which you'll feel that you can do well in and / or like the exercises. In some cultures they also refer to it as "being a punk-ass little b*tch...but I digress.
Here's the deal: you're here for a reason; to improve, get healthier and become a better athlete, and that kind of growth won't occur if you aren't willing to confront your weaknesses and get flat-out freaking uncomfortable on a fairly regular basis. We all love it when stuff that we're good at comes up on the WOD, and conversely, we also all get that crazy, nervous feeling in the pit of our tummy when the stuff that we suck at comes up. So what? That's why you signed up for this craziness in the first place; to feel alive by facing down your fears, thus reminding yourself that life isn't a dress rehearsal...go big or go home.
It takes a lot of moxy to face down your fears and still show up for a good *ss kicking...I get that, and I respect it, because that alone makes you more proactive than 99% of the worlds population. So make the choice now to stop cherry picking, otherwise you're going to end up lazy and gelatinous, whch won't generate a lot of traffic to your E-harmony profile page ; )
