MAKE NO MISTAKE.. ITS HARD AF CrossFit recently posted on IG a list of things that you can find at your local CrossFit gym: - Mind-Body Connection
- Stress Management
- Social Community
- Belief in Yourself
- Mood Enhancement
- Goal-Setting and Achievement
- Continuous Learning
- Health
Some within the CrossFit community aren’t fans of this type of messaging, primarily because it masks the effort required to achieve the outcome. All of the above items are found at a CrossFit gym, but you’ll have to make a serious commitment, demonstrate humility and put in the work. An, while we will always scale to meet the athlete’s fitness and abilities, the work is often hard af.
CrossFit is constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensity. Functional movements include weightlifting, gymnastics and endurance exercises. These 3 things, when combined in a workout can leave new athletes feeling overwhelmed and in some cases, incapable.The first 3 months will test your will – almost trying to break you down. Some people quit. It’s understandable.
However, after the the first 3 months, if participation has been consistent, the workouts are more bearable, the movement patterns smoother and the physical results more visible. After 3 months, ALL of the above “things you’ll find at a CrossFit” gym become more apparent. You likely have your CrossFit “crew”, you’re feeling more confident, you’re eager to learn more, your health is improving, you’re feeling better and looking better. Friends and family likely notice.
Yes, CrossFit is truly life-improving in many ways. But, like most things in life, you have to do the work. And, its hard af. |
