Crossfit tips for beginners

Crossfit involves lifting heavy weights. But you can take your time, learn proper technique, and get used to moving it safely.

Do the workouts without timing them to begin with. As you get more advanced, you can find some timed Crossfit workouts. Hire a personal trainer for a few sessions to show you how to properly do each move. Or study each one online in-depth before you start.

Start with smaller weights such as just the bar or no weights at all to practice technique and get your body loosened up to move forward.

If you want more of my weight loss story and how I grew up on little Debbies and soda and learned how to change my health and life through exercise and nutrition, check out this nutrition guide. It has some basic dos and don’ts that my wife and I used for me to lose 100 pounds and be on no medication at age 53. There are also some sample meal plans in there. It was a long process, not a quick fix, but if I can do it, so can you!

Starting CrossFit at 40

Forty is not quite middle-aged, but there are differences between a 20-year-old body and a 40-year-old body. Getting started in Crossfit is easy, just show up, open your mind, and get to it. Newbies are welcome at Crossfit gyms.

High-intensity workouts can be more beneficial for older athletes. If you want to get in shape at 40 and enjoy yourself, try whatever workout looks interesting to you. Older athletes lose flexibility and mobility.

So even though it’s a little harder to move joints through the full range of motion, it’s not impossible. Just plan and think it through. You can do it! Crossfit for obese beginners can be a good idea!
