What Does it Mean to be a Crossfitter??

This is a great little article reminding us why we call ourselves "crossfitters" and why everybody who walks in to a Box and gives it their all can call themselves a legitimate crossfitter!

 

"Being a CrossFitter means that you’re willing to put in your best effort.  It means you are willing to accept a new task. It means you are willing to try something you’ve never done before.  It means you are willing to dig deep and push through the pain even when you want to quit. It means that you show up to the box every day willing to give the best of yourself."

Debunking the Myth: "I Need to Get in Shape to Do Crossfit!"

FROM AN ARTICLE POSTED ON THE BLOG "BOXROX".

1.  I need to get in shape first

" Frankly, it doesn’t matter what shape you’re in when you start crossfit. Most likely it will suck either way. The only way to get in shape for crossfit, is to do crossfit."

2.  I will look like an idiot in front of others

" “Oh my god, I cant’ believe you can’t even do regular push-ups” said NO ONE EVER. We will high five you and tell you you did a great job."

 3.  But, look at those athletes on YouTube!

"Sure, they look like they walked straight off the set of the 300 movie, but then again, these folks made crossfit their profession,"

 4.  Seriously, I can’t do pull-ups, push-ups or squat!

"Pretty much 90% of the people that start crossfit, can’t do that."

 5.  Crossfit will make me bulky (for the ladies)

 "This is a frequently discussed topic, since it involves a personal view on aesthetics, that differs per person....."

(let me assure the ladies that while you will look better naked, unless you train very hard, you will not get bulky)
