Stepping into a Crossfit gym for the first time can be a bit intimidating and overwhelming.
You might see a bunch of half-naked hard bodies showing off their ink and abs, ripping out butterfly kip after butterfly kip. You might ask yourself, “Is that person having a seizure or doing pull-ups? What’s with all the Chuck Taylors? Do they get a group rate? What’s with the guy in the corner wearing only sweatpants, shirt off, all tatted up and muttering to himself? Is he on a work-release program?” Fear not newbie; these people won’t bite. They’re actually pretty darn friendly and overly supportive once you get to know them. It can be a lot to take in at first glance, especially if you’ve had limited exposure to Crossfit prior to stepping into a box. But don’t worry; we’ve got your back. The following are 10 things to keep in mind as you begin your Crossfit journey.

1.) You’re Competing Against Yourself, Not Others
When it comes time to throw down in a wod, don’t feel like you have to do everything RX’d or be able to complete 20 rounds of Cindy right off the bat. Go at your own pace. Let the intensity find you. You need a solid foundation of strength and flexibility in order to progress into more demanding workouts. Start light, get your form down, and don’t worry about the mother of three who is deadlifting 250 as you struggle with the bar. Chase your own capacity before chasing the person next to you. Which brings me to my next point…

2.) Don’t Be Too Proud To Scale
Sing it with me now:

Ain’t too proud to scale, sweet darling.
Please don’t leave the wod. Don’t you go.
Ain’t too proud to scale, baby baby.
Please don’t leave the wod. Don’t you go.

Tony Budding (of Crossfit HQ) describes scaling as another form of programming. Scaling is such an individualized topic that it’s hard to make sweeping generalized statements. You have to know your own body and its limits. But most importantly, there’s no substitute for common sense.

3.) What You Eat Is More Important Than What You Lift
Nutrition is the key to every aspect of your life. It affects your energy levels, your recovery, and your overall defense against disease. To quote the late Jack Lalanne, “You put junk in, junk comes out. You put good in, good comes out.” When you’re first starting out, the quality of your food is far more important than the quantity. Call it whatever you want: Paleo, Primal, Hunter-Gatherer, Pretentious D-Bag Diet; just eat clean. If you’re eating as clean as possible, you don’t even need to worry about the quantity. You are a Ferrari. You wouldn’t put regular unleaded fuel in a Ferrari, would you?

4.) Don’t Be Afraid To Ask For Clarification, Over and Over and Over Again
It’s your time, money, and most importantly, health. If you don’t fully understand something, ask. If you still don’t get it, ask again. Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification if you don’t fully grasp the concept, or you think others in the class will get frustrated with you for taking up too much time. We were all newbies at one point. We’ve all been there. Learning the mechanics of certain movements like the kip, squat, deadlift, or any of the olympic lifts takes lots of practice and critique from a trained eye. If you need help, just ask.

5.) Crossfit Isn’t Everything
Crossfit is a strength and conditioning program that focuses on building general physical preparedness (GPP). It is quickly evolving into a sport of its own, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be your sport or your lifeblood. I Crossfit so that I can do whatever I want: Go out, play sports, learn new things. Having that GPP allows me to take on new challenges. Crossfit is not my life. I Crossfit so that I can have a life…and be awesome at it.

6.) It Doesn’t Get Easier, It Just Sucks Less
The longer you immerse yourself in the suck, the less it sucks. You get stronger, build a greater aerobic capacity, and become mentally tough. All of these aspects, combined with experience, allow you to know when to push yourself and when to back off, so that you can attack each workout to the best of your ability. Soon, you’ll come to love the beatdowns. Much like Kevin Bacon in Animal House, you’ll be screaming, “Thank you sir! May I have another?” Well, maybe not. But you get the point.

7.) You Won’t PR Every Day
Don’t mistake intensity for hard work. Even if you’re having a bad day and the intensity just isn’t there, you can still get a lot out of your time in the gym through hard work. Intensity and hard work are not the same thing. Don’t skip a planned session just because you don’t think you’re going to kill it and leave everything out on the table. Not feeling too strong that day? That’s fine; scale the weights and/or rounds or time domain back. Something is better than nothing.

8.) Have Fun
Let’s face it, some of the workouts are not fun. Frankly, some of them just plain suck. I’m looking at you, Hero wods. But when it’s over, you feel a sense of accomplishment and maybe a little queasy. You shouldn’t be pissed that you didn’t get as many reps as the person next to you. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Smile. Laugh. Introduce yourself to people you don’t know. If you’re not having fun, why are you here? Do you enjoy your overall time spent at the gym? Do you enjoy the people, the community, the knowledge and support that it provides? If so, then don’t be too concerned with your competitive nature until you have a strong grasp on the 9 Foundational Movements.

The things you’ll learn in a Crossfit gym are fun: gymnastics, olympic lifts, new swear words (see: Mary Martin). You can’t do this stuff in a globo gym. The attitude is different too; no one is going to get in your face and cheer you on as you knock out those last five minutes on the elliptical. And the feeling you’ll have the first time you get an unassisted dead hang pull-up or full squat snatch is an amazing sense of power and accomplishment.

9.) You Are All Firebreathers
The term “Firebreather” comes from Crossfit legend and bad ass Greg Amundson, and he defines it as such:

Firebreather –Fie-r-bre’-th-er: (n) 1. One who faces the triumphs and tribulations of great physical opposition with an indomitable spirit. 2. An optimistic energy associated with the heart of an athlete.

You don’t have to be an “elite” Crossfitter to embody the essence of a true Firebreather. It’s not your Fran time, it’s the spirit you bring to Fran that makes you a Firebreather. Don’t forget that.

10.) Respect Rest and Recovery
Too many newbies (and even those of us who have been doing this a while) get caught up in overtraining. Don’t be afraid to schedule in a deload day once per week, or a deload week every 4-6 weeks where you cut the weight, rounds, and intensity in half. You have to think about this from a longevity standpoint. If you’re killing yourself every time you step foot in the gym, week after week, month after month, year after year, you’re going to eventually break down. You need to respect your time outside of the gym. There’s an old weightlifting adage that goes something like: “You don’t get bigger and stronger from lifting weights, you get bigger and stronger from recovering from lifting weights.”

Proper nutrition, hydration and sleep all play their part in recovery, but you also need to listen to your body. If you continuously beat yourself down, you’re going to get hurt, injured or worse. Stay on top of your mobility work. If you haven’t done so yet, pay a daily visit to Kelly Starrett’s MobilityWOD. The information there is invaluable.

So, what now? You’ve signed up for the Elements class. You’re about to start eating like a caveman. And your vocabulary will soon include words like burpee, thruster, and snatch. Welcome to Crossfit Delaware Valley. Have you tried the Kool-Aid? Don’t worry, it’s Paleo.

2011-07-11T12:40:00.000-07:00
I've learned that I am def not a fast runner today, my goal after vacation is to work on conditiOning my body for running fast!
I had people running past me today and it killed me, maybe my legs were heavy from many deadlifts yesterday and the heat feeling like 110 out but I need to try harder, and work harder at it.

WOD

" lupie lynne"
5 rounds

Max bench press
Max pull ups
Sprint all out max effort 400m
1 min rest btw rounds

I did 80 for bench could only get 2 pull ups each round
My shoulders have been so overworked lately and doing push ups with hands by side like a dip position has been hard on them but not in a bad way it's actually more comfortable for my shoulders. RECOVERY is sooo important for me right now I have tO eat asap after working out, I haven't been sore since being consistent an eating at the right times, interesting to see the progress, this week we are warming up allot on the rinds with muscle ups progressions and it's my weakness, so well see how that goes!

ATTEMPTED WOD

2011-07-10T19:54:00.000-07:00
5 rounds for tme

500m row
25 DL (body weight)

So most normal people dont weight as much as i do and stubborn me was not going to scale down (if i was at cf solafide they would make me scale down ) so i did 165 which was closest to my weight ( 162lbs)

Could only do 4 rounds, my hands were killing and with the 110 degree heat index i could barely hang on to the bar it was so hot and sweaty.

I dont think i could have finished, and baby was crying so had to stop, to me 40 min and Im sure the WOD should have been under 30min .

I forgot to add that i rested yesterday, and today i reopened my healed calluses so bad that i didnt even feel them till i washed my hands.

AND HERE IT IS !!! THE DREADED PICTURES

2011-06-29T17:13:00.001-07:00

Above me at 220 ish lbs you cant really see but my stomach was resting on my legs!
me at 168lbs

me at 162.5 and consistant Crossfit for 3 weeks

Ok so i didn't post the pics after my 30day paleo cause i was still grossed out by them but here are pics of me present at 162.5lbs still a ways to go, everyone asks me where my drive is WELL when I delivered Jeremiah i was 220 so you can imagine how heavy i was i will find a pic for ya, but i was determined not to let this get the best of me, It was so hard to start i even thought well ill go back to starving myself and one hour of cardio a day UGH!! i didn't think id ever get to do Crossfit again i remember going to the y when Jeremiah was 5 weeks old and walked around the track upstairs cause i couldn't imagine people looking at me and how big i was, it shocked me when i even had a hard time walking a mile, knowing my abilities from before I knew this was gonna be tough and it still is.

Here i am now, busting out some serious workouts finishing behind the top ladies sometimes last when i try to do as RX, kipping like its nothing ( 2 at a time but for being over 160lbs its pretty darn good) my speed is ridiculous for my size, so looking at my pictures naturally as a women yes i cant wait to shed that last 25lbs ( this is what is calculated for a healthy athletic BF) but all i keep telling myself is how much of a machine on the inside I am building and shedding that last bit of weight is just gonna show on the outside.

My eating is very clean, the kids 75% but almost 100% gluten free, I'm paleo with some allowances like more dried fruit and more nuts and some coconut flour made pancakes every now and then.
I might go strict paleo again for 30 days just to see how that feels and the difference from adding back some no no's on strict paleo, i know now that clean eating is what works for maintenance cause for almost 2 and 1/2 weeks the scale did not move, and since going to CF solafide my legs are tightening up!!

Oh and I'm trying to wean this baby and I'm banking on a good 5 lbs weight loss from that lol ;)

2011-06-09T20:30:00.000-07:00
So i lied i havent posted pics yet and its mostly cause i do everything from my iphone and im too lazy to get the camera and upload.

Feeling good lately but i can barely move tonight after the KB 21! Ive been trying to follow CF SOlafide's WOD if they appeal to me (shouldnt matter) I havent went there yet its just been to busy for me this week but i will start next week and im gonna give it a try for 2 months for now since Jesse is gone and me and the girls are ready to slow down. Been doing most Wods in my garage, and not pushing as much as a should but still getting a good workout, after the CF grand opening and doing a throwdown WOD (Grace) I realized how much harder and faster i work when im around others and for me that produces results. So today after a busy day spent with 100 kids YES literally a hundred and being so tired mentally and wanted a good suckfest.

I went to Gertsh gm on base cause they ave a little cf set up and only used the 35lbs kb and the floor:

KBS Sit ups

1-20
2-19
3-18
4-17
5-16
6-15
7-14
8-13
9-12
10-11
11-10
12-9
13-8
14-7
15-6
16-5
17-4
18-3
19-2
20-1

so one kbs then 20 situps and its goes on like that, i got there warmed up and got to it, and with a bunch of people starting i could care less it started to get really hard at 15 kbs felt amazing and im feeling it, did some sprints after.

2011-06-03T10:34:00.000-07:00
Ok i promise ill post the Paleo challenge pics tonight im exhausted lately and its not gonna slow down till the end of June with Brooke and Meadows VBS this month (vacation bible school).

Getting 3-4 wods a week and some endurance work, I'M WIPED OUT but I'm not gonna stop, i did have a couple of "didn't push myself hard enough days" but that's ok ! I'm trying to get sleep in but this little man of mine is a mamas boy and guess who he sleeps with ME!!! Never thought id do it but i love it and if hes happy I'm happy.

Anyway, Ive been wearing my Merrell vibrams and they are amazing, the 5 fingers always bothered me when i tried them in stores and i know i could probably get used to them but after working out a couple of times with the Merrelles I'm in love ( D you would love them), I did 8x 30:30 all out sprints and today i tested out running at a good pace and was great, no soreness but my shins are working hard.

I gotta say im proud of Jen, i know shes stronger than she thinks and she up and cleaned 95lbs no problem the other, silly little Jen 5lbs weights are for kids.

Well im still not sure if im joining the new Cf Solafide gym, im actually in intimidated lots of strong competitive women there and my stomach curls just thinking about how hard ill be working.

Ever since the paleo challenge my weight hasnt moved because i have been adding a few helthy snacks lol but last week i started a meal plan with the owner of CF solafide and it works around my paleo ways of eating except im back to measuring food!!!

OK pics to come !

ugh im so tired of my inability to spell lol

OH and present weight is 166.5lbs and gonna start login my BF% ( 2lbs )

PALEO 30 CHALLENGE RESULTS TO FOLLOW TONIGHT!!

2011-05-19T05:40:00.000-07:00
All I can say is that I dont have the urge or any craving, I simply would like to enjoy a cup of coffee from Jen's house right now, and I will probably make some coconut ice cream later!

2011-05-13T11:33:00.000-07:00

I havent been blogging because im going crazy here wthout the love of my life not being around and I hate blogging ha!

Well Michelle challenged me to do the 30day Paleo challenge with her and i accepted and started the next morning, I was gonna start when Jesse left anyway but theres no sense in waiting, if your gonna wait to start something its cause your not sticking to it.

So here we are a week away from finishing it and I've cheated once and if that it wasn't that bad its was peanuts and a few chocolate chips, i cant believe i haven't put anyhting artificial in my body, and all gluten free. WOW, yes i do crave sometimes but for the first time in my life its controlled its not overwhelming, and when i cave i have lots of watermelon or a couple larabars.
I feel great and i know and am convinced this is going to be a lifestyle for me. Ive erased the thought of cheating in my mind and if i really want something i will have it, but i don't feel like ill crave bad things. I'm probably gonna go out for diner and eat meat and veggies and probably not desert, i thought about it but its not what I'm craving, I'm gonna have a coffee with lots of fake splenda in it and cream, oh and diet coke! THOSE 2 thing have been my weakness, oh and that morning I'm gonna wake up and drink those ridiculous size of sugar free red bull ( more artificial) and that's about it, i think i might make me some coconut ice cream.

YEAH YEAH boring!
Started at 179lbs

to date im at 168.5lbs im not surprised with the loss because i have more to loose but my strenght is gone up, so its good loss.

Ill take my after pic on the 30th day and post

WOD today ( this is why i posted verse at top)

I love to lift heavy and haven't been doing it enough, its really hard mentally for me to push all the way alone in my little garage.

CFT

BS 185
DL 225
sp 75

Total:485

i couldn't go up in sp cause i don't have the numbers for it but next time id like to hit 500

2011-04-23T05:04:00.000-07:00
Well in 2 weeks my weight didn't move from 179lbs and i forgot to post but this morning finally down to 176lbs with some good proper rest days because i felt like i was over training, i know my body and i don't loose or gain when that happens.

Michelle asked me to join her on the 30 days of strict paleo, i mean so strict that Jesse's coffee this morning smelled like a double chocolate fudge cake! Its really the hardest for me and Diet Coke, i eat clean most of the time but the diet coke is my crack.

So i feel great on day 3, no swelling, not hungry because ilove meat and finding all these amazing sites like www.nomnompaleo.com and www.primal-palate.com and many more is helping me with variety!!
