Back to doing every workout: Floor
Floor joins in with everything in class again. Recently she did deadlifts and the sled push again.
“It just went well. I could just do it. Without pain. So I’m really happy with it.”
Floor tells her story (89 seconds, in Dutch)
It didn’t go away
Floor started CrossFit a few years ago. Then her hamstring started to bother her. First she waited. Then she rested. It didn’t help.
“Normally you sometimes feel something somewhere. And after a week or so it’s gone again and you can carry on. But this actually came on very slowly.”
Other members told her: go and talk to coach Jari. She had already heard a lot of good stories about him.
Her whole posture
Jari did an intake with her. Floor expected a few exercises for her hamstring. But Jari looked at her whole posture. It was not necessarily her hamstring: other muscles were not working as well. Those were the ones she had to train better.
We call this kind of analysis of your posture and how you move the Body-APK. It is also how Unlock Motion starts, our small-group programme.
“I really learned a huge amount from it, and above all he is very good at explaining it. So now I understand much better how my whole body works together.”
Simple exercises at home
“Actually, with very simple exercises that I could do at home, it has already improved completely.”
After three or four weeks she already noticed a difference. It was not gone yet, but it bothered her less.
On the rower she now thinks about which muscles she is using. And sometimes she does an exercise while brushing her teeth.
“Here in the workouts I really do use my body differently.”
Joining in again
Beforehand Floor told Jari what she wanted. Not to become the strongest or the fastest. Just to join in with everything again.
“Not having to do something other than what is on the board. I just want to look at the board. OK, this is what we’re doing today.”
She can do that again now. It is almost completely gone, Floor says. “It is still a weak spot.”
Just being able to train without anything bothering me. That’s what I want.
This is Floor’s experience. Every body is different. You can find more member stories under Testimonials.
