It’s come to my attention that some members have been trying to workout through pain. Big no-no. First off, I need to know when you start to experience pain. If it’s before the workout, we can modify it. If it’s during a workout, we can modify it on the spot. But I need to know! If you know a certain move is painful, let me know.
There’s a big difference between soreness and pain. If you’re sore, good! Once you warm-up, you should have enough blood flow to reduce the sensation of soreness. Soreness should not be a reason to cancel and avoiding working out. But pain is a whole other issue.
What should you do about it?
- Ice it!
- Avoid movements that will aggravate it.
- Stretch the surrounding muscles. Roll on a foam roller. Use the Stick. Lay on the lacrosse ball. Just loosen things up.
- See a specialist! Chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists…all have the knowledge and tools to fix you up.

I agree with pats comment yesterday, sometimes I feel like i’m just struggling to keep my head above water.
Everyone has gotten so much faster on WODS, It’s hard to keep up ha
Hi Agree – as a new person – 3 months now – I find it very hard to keep up with everyone. Plus I am a bit older then the yonger crowd.
Excellent post Kevin! It’s good to be reminded to listen to our bodies ๐

WOD: ‘Griff’
12:45
the tally is in, it is official – my legs have officially left the building! i’ve pushed them to the limit this week with WODs and races and now they and i are not really on speaking terms. (they are sulking in the corner giving me the silent treatment with the occasional grunt, moan, and yell).
that being said they did bring give me a pretty good performance this morning – tricked them while they were still groggy at 6am ๐ – sub 12 min is definitely doable next time.
great job everyone!
johan, you really are part bunny
marc, i might have held a grudge for your ‘ha ha, i have longer legs than you’ comment as you breezed by backwards, but your expressions / grunts of pain for the effort made me laugh. nice push!
Yeah sorry about a comment during a WOD. Shouldn’t be allowed ๐ but damn I paid for it.
no worries friend, you said it all happy as you went by, but i knew you were paying for it shortly afterward. and that made me happy ๐
Mom and I can’t make it in today.Looks like a fun one!
Hi Kevin, Not feeling the best today huge headache so I will not be able to make it today.
A run on cancellations….I can’t make it either….all that running …just as well for my knee
calling any gals heading to Chantal’s tonight… might i be able to bum a ride with anyone? bill might be gone with the vehicle by then.
logistically, i live just at the other end of the street from kevin (across from the mets ball field)
Hey Kevin,
I won’t be able to make it today after school. See you tomorrow.
I find it hard to find a free spot on the schedule these days. Even in the morning. I hope people are not “cherry picking” their WODs ๐
That’s true Pat!
Cherry picking is for weak people!
At CrossFit Moncton, we build the strongest by tackling our weaknesses!
