What you are missing is that experienced CrossFit instructors teach you proper form and technique on all the exercises and ease you into the program. All exercises and workouts can be scaled to anyone's fitness level.

Doing it on your own with no supervision is a potential problem. Get instruction and you'll be fine and get the results you want.

@pharry4life Misguided in its approach?

Is that to the hundreds of Physiologists, Physiotherapists, Sport Psychologists, Doctors, Nutritionists, Strength and conditioning coaches who support it? Many who hold their masters or a phd in their field.

I guarantee that some of these people in this video can easily hold their own in a workout. What is a base Aerobic fitness? A 7.5 on the beep test? 12min 2.4km run? I have no doubt that any client who walks into my gym is capable of CrossFit.

Soooo I'm watching this and realising that most people who are bitching about Crossfit haven't actually attempted it.

Needs to *stop* beating on CrossFit

[Impatttt]

Everyone needs to beating on CrossFit it works for people who have real lives and also want to be fit who don't have the resources to train like a pro athlete this is for real people most people hate systems or don't have the motivation to do the same stuff over and retest just to find they got a few seconds better....that's why CrossFit is appealing it keeps you on your toes and prepares most people for most physically daunting tasks of life and usually much better than needed which is the sor

@dp100 "Superhuman"? Dude, no Crossfitter would stand a chance against a serious Boxer in terms of power, speed, endurance, mental focus, toughness, etc... Modern "Superhumans"? Indeed, HAHAHA!!!! - well, if thinking of yourself as superhuman makes you feel better, then go for it! :-)

[dp100]

@sniperd0g not really, they are done in circuits usually 3 rounds and timed. Its a sick workout packed into a shorter amount of time, makes you into a superhuman. Competition in it as well so it gets you pumped.

[sniperd0g]

this looks cool but also looks like a lot of overtraining on muscles?

[banandugo]

Can anyone recommend me a beginner workout?

[trackmatt123]

@bsumiko that is so true... CF is not a system. I have done CF... you may get better at "FRAN" every time you attempt it, but if you did "FRAN" for the first time one day, then did a system of workouts for 2 weeks until you attempted a 2nd time your time would be much better than if you kept doing a different CF workout everyday. I found CF is all go and no brains. Like a cult. I love it-but I can only get so much of it without me wanting to jump off a bridge.Just 1 burnout workout after another

@onelastnoob Fitness troll? I just object to crossfit acting like the invented the concept of circuit training. I do training that some people would probably claim is 'crossfit' but I was doing that long before the marketing vehicle rolled into action. Its nothing new guys. Track athletes, rowers, rugby players have done this stuff for decades. Im sick of partially informed over protective cross fit viewers bleating about a (perfectly) valid comment I made months ago.
