Picture this: Youre lying in bed, sleeping peacefully, when your alarm blasts and rips you out of dreamland. You roll over groggily and hit snooze. Its 6 a.m. Youd planned to go to the gym before work todaybut youre so tired. Who cares if I skip? you think. You vow to go tomorrow, then snuggle under the covers. Now imagine the same scenario, but youve made a plan to meet someone. Not flaking now, huh? In fact, you might even realize youre looking forward to catching up with her-and, of course...
Something special happens when you successfully pull off your first power clean: Your muscles fire on all cylinders, and you get that bam-pow-dynamite feeling that comes from lifting a heavy barbell and thinking, Whoa, Im strong. The explosive, full-body movement, common in HIIT classes and CrossFit workouts, brings a host of other cool payoffs too.
