My 2015 CrossFit Goals

February 14, 2015 · By Monica Shaw

Victory! Finally did a proper box jump (20"). When I started #crossfit in April I could barely jump on a curb. Progress! And a happy achievement for 2014. Goal for 2015: to actually take on box jumps in the WODs.

It’s already February and here I am still thinking about “goals” for the not-so-new-anymore year. I’ve already outlined my 2015 adventure goals, but I need some things to keep me going in the interim. I’m liking CrossFit as a way to benchmark my fitness through clear-cut non-weight-related goals that are actually a measure of functional strength, the stuff that will actually get me through those adventures. At the beginning of the year we brainstormed our CrossFit goals. Here are mine:

  • 10 Double Unders
  • Strict Pullup
  • Box jumps on a 20″ box, for real (I’ve done one, but I’m far from being able to do them in a workout)
  • Ring Dip (CHECK – did that this week!)
  • 6kg Wall Balls
  • Handstand walks – OK this won’t help me walk the Pennine Way but it’s fun and would be a great party trick!

New 2015 goal to add to this list, inspired by today's @crossfitcirencester WOD: freakin 6kg wall balls. Come on! Also inspiring: seeing all the challenges that others have set for themselves. This year - our fittest year yet! Let's do this thing!

So far I feel encouraged. I’m not really in the mood to practice double unders (it feels like a summer activity to me!) but I’ve made progress towards pullups with completing kipping pullups in two recent WODs (Workout of the Day).

I also achieved a bonus goal that I hadn’t even thought of: toes to bar!

This April I’ll be writing up a longer “year in review” of CrossFit, which was new to me last year and a total game changer fitness wise. Stay tuned!
