Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.

CrossFit Journal Article of the Week: “Want to Increase Your Fitness? Take a Rest Day”
“Exercise causes microscopic tears in our muscle fibers, and as we rest, those fibers are repaired, adapting to become bigger and stronger. This process of adaptation, called supercompensation, is what allows us to run faster, jump higher or lift more weight.
“‘It’s during the fatigue phase, as the body recovers, that we adapt to the training,’ said Dr. Giles Warrington, a professor of human performance and innovation at the University of Limerick in Ireland.
“Without adequate rest, the muscles don’t have time to adapt, stalling progress and preventing improvement.”
Perennial CrossFit Games athletes Scott Panchik and Arielle Loewen weigh in on the topic of rest in this article from The New York Times. What’s your rest-day routine? Tell us in the comments.
