How were you introduced to CrossFit? I got introduced to CrossFit initially through a friend who had been involved with it for a few weeks. It was basically "go check it out", I did and the rest is history!
With CrossFit it's never just routine exercise. Going in everyday you can be sure to expect the unexpected with each work out of the day (W.O.D). I love the
intensity and the surge of adrenaline that comes with completing each W.O.D. It keeps you interested, keeps you going and it's different each day
What is your tip for a person getting started in CrossFit? My advice for anyone starting out at CrossFit is for the first few months to focus on their technique and scale workouts according to ability. Don't be discouraged
if you don't seem to be at the level of everyone else around you, they've all been there too. Take it one day at a time, eventually you'll be able to do the impossible!
