CrossFit courses are always a bit mysterious, just like drawing lots. Only by participating in it will you know what is waiting for you today, and sometimes you can even win a super prize. At present, all my courses are intermediate courses of reducing fat and shaping. Every time it is brand-new content, I will have a little expectation before signing up.
Take the content of my class tonight as an example. For most girls, this is an extremely exciting "super prize". Today, it is mainly to train upper limb strength, and it is necessary to repeatedly do such difficult movements as pull-ups, handstands and climbing walls. Especially pull-ups and handstands, even in college, not all boys can get full marks in physical fitness tests, let alone girls. After an hour, my completion rate is the lowest, and I even need to ask experienced members nearby for action skills. For example, when I do handstand, I don't know how to stand up with my legs. I need help to stand on the wall. I stood on my head on the wall for less than three seconds, and then I started to have adverse reactions, panicked and finally hurried down. At the end of the course, my upper limbs ached and I even trembled with my mobile phone in one hand.
I tried to think that if I had known in advance that today was such a devilish exercise mode, I wouldn't have signed up, and my heart would have resisted instinctively. I won't. I'm scared. I'm scared. Before I tried, I declared that I would fail. However, without trying, how do you know if you are successful or failed? Facing all the challenges ahead, if we don't try, how can we grow and progress? You can only gain if you do it.
It was this lottery mode that made me experience the difficulty of pull-ups and handstands for the first time 1, and I didn't know how much sweat was needed behind these difficult moves until I really did it. When I saw that many boys in the team could easily complete the task, I felt a strong sense of admiration, and even hoped that I could do the same.
A while ago, the Tokyo Olympics came to an end. As spectators, we only saw the high-spirited athletes on the field, but how many people really approached their daily lives to understand the efforts behind them. When we saw Quan Hongchan, a diver of 14 years old, winning the first Olympic gold medal with impeccable movements and celebrating the whole country, did we ever think that such a young child had never been to an amusement park or zoo, and his greatest wish was to catch a doll? "I can only go home on holiday", "I haven't played anywhere else", "I can only stay at home", "I haven't even been to an amusement park" and "I haven't been to the zoo", all of which are interview records from Quan Hongchan before she went to Tokyo. Every child should have his own childhood, and the price of having talents beyond ordinary people is to lose the happy childhood he should have. Is this fair to children? Children are brought up as citizens, but they don't even have the right to choose their own lives.
I don't know if you will remember the classic saying in Forrest Gump: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. When you encounter difficulties, maybe the next moment will usher in a miracle. When you think the good times are coming, your life may be in danger the next moment. Impermanence is the normal state of life. CrossFit is a "lottery" sport, and life is also made up of countless lottery tickets. Whether it is good or bad, we will experience it one by one and enjoy every draw! Looking back at the place where I met the wind and rain, going back, for me, there is no wind and rain, but it is still sunny.
