“Compare yourself to who you were yesterday and not to who someone else is today” - Jordan B. Peterson
It is easy to look at somebody else and compare ourselves to others. In my experience when I do this in the gym or in any other area of my life I have found myself frustrated.
Sometimes I find myself comparing myself to the runner I used to be or to the strength that I once had and I have not found that to help me to become a better athlete. We are going to go through different phases in our life and have different priorities and that is great because it helps us to become better in multiple areas.
I have found in my experience that as I work on becoming better for myself I learn new ways to become better and I want to keep improving. Once I improve in one area I work towards the next area I want to improve.
What is one area you can work on improving?
For me with CrossFit right now I have been focusing on making sure I hit the right stimulus for the workout.
I have to let my ego go if I am not able to hit the RX weight and that helps me get a way better workout! One of the fun things at CrossFit Preferred is we track our workouts and can work on improving.
I find it best to work on one area at a time. There are times to work on speed and times to work on strength. I have also found that the people that do the best go into each workout with a plan or strategy.
The challenge that I have for you today is to work on being better than you were yesterday. Please comment below with what you are currently working on improving or how you can be better than you were yesterday!

Owner and Coach Kris LeSueur believes that fitness is a great building block for helping people improve their lives.
“I love how health and fitness help people feel better about themselves,” he says. “I love the confidence it builds for each individual person.”
Kris has spent a lot of years training for marathons, adventure racing, and triathlons. His most notable athletic accomplishment was finishing SEALFIT Kokoro Camp, a 50+ hour (no sleep allowed!) event based on Navy SEAL Hell Week training. He’s completed two full-distance Ironman Triathlons (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run), multiple half-Ironmans, qualified for Xterra Triathlon Nationals and completed multiple adventure races and marathons. “I love anything endurance related,” he says. “When you start to think about quitting and you do not in these type of events, you really discover who you are in life.”
