Many people look at a workout with disdain.
They feel it’s something they must do, not something they want to do.
Their doctor told them to lose weight or their spouse says they need to get in shape.
Workouts can be anything but fun.
Some see CrossFit as the ultimate workout but is it fun?
Yes, it can be fun for several reasons including those below.
Anyone Can Do It
CrossFit can be strenuous but anyone can start it.
That includes beginners or even those who have never played a port or did anything physically challenging in their life.
Exercises used in CrossFit are those people use in everyday life so they are things you can do.
Plus, you can start at your own pace. There’s no pressure to match the instructor’s intensity.
It Makes You Feel Good
Those who do CrossFit said it provides the challenge they need to feel like they accomplished something.
Athletics say it provides the same type of training as their previous sports experience.
Non-athletics said it makes them feel like they are an athlete.
It Provides a Social Experience
CrossFit communities are different from others just going to gym class.
They are highly supportive and positive toward newcomers.
They are good-natured and welcoming.
It is its own community and everyone is loyal to those in it.
This makes CrossFit a good fit for those who want a social time, meet new friends, and get out of the house.
It Creates Competition
In a world full of participation trophies, people feel a little worthless without competition.
CrossFit makes people compete in class and it also has sanctioned competitions for those who want to take their training further.
Those who don’t get fully into competition are still challenged by the atmosphere to be better.
That creates a positive self-worth image that lasts.
Final Thoughts
Those interested in CrossFit should first find a good gym and instructor.
Meet with them before class to discuss your interests and goals.
Ask questions.
Watch a class to see if it’s right for you. You may find it to be highly motivating.
