Quick Notes and Observations of CF (from my point of view):
#1 - CROSSFIT IS A COMMUNITY!!! More importantly, it's my community as well as thousands of others. In this community, there is only room for positive and encouraging individuals. We support each other 100% in the efforts we make together. This is my only rule!
#2 - Crossfit IS for anyone and scalable for everyone. If anyone EVER has any questions about CF, scaling a WOD, a substitute exercise, or advice on technique ... PLEASE give me a call, shoot me an email or FB me. I'll be here!
#3- Understand that there is a foundation that needs to be laid prior to you accepting CF.
1-Form/Technique- Always, Always, Always focus on keeping your form and technique for ALL reps. Not doing reps with the full range of motion only deters your progress to be more fit. By accepting less than perfect technique you could fuck things real bad (back, knees, shoulders, etc). Take your time to learn the proper technique before doing an exercise, if you have a question about it, contact me or search Youtube for "crossfit air squat" for example.
2-Intensity- this aspect will come when your body starts getting more comfortable with the requirements of CF. Anyone can just throw themselves at a workout, but without the first foundation - technique - this can be extremely dangerous. Intensity will come and you'll know it when it does!
3-Mental Aspect- Walking the technique/intesity tight rope is difficult and it also plays games with your head. Your body will be capable of so much more than your mind thinks it can. Keep pushing your limits and you'll find a new found respect for what your boyd can go through.
