Even the average gymrat should be doing presses, squats, deadlifts, pullups, etc..but due to the lack of good information out there most people just don't know any better. Maybe people don't want to do a wod but they can squat and then do some burpees in the gym as opposed to spending an hour on the ellptical. Yeah so functional movements and high intensity is for everyone whether its a wod at an affiliate or just making due with what they have in their back yard.Joe Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-90705735488614187992011-02-22T21:23:50.123-05:002011-02-22T21:23:50.123-05:00Thanks, just picked up the first Martin book in th...Thanks, just picked up the first Martin book in that series.

If I had a dollar for every time I had to run out at the end of the wod to sit on the bathroom floor because I was sick to my stomach, I'd be a rich girl. But once its over, there is always someone, another crossfitter or a coach to encourage you and get you through the hard parts. This has been particularly helpful for someone like me who is motivated, but also very shy. I often wonder if community is the greatest motivator in crossfit.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339234104440187149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-85018231302543632152011-02-22T20:43:19.480-05:002011-02-22T20:43:19.480-05:006:30 Ab-tastic, WOD-alicious, Metcon-errific crew

In my mind the only people who should NOT do crossfit are people who bring a negative attitude to the box. The community of crossfit is absolutely one of its strengths and totally unique. Having someone who doesnt support others (cheering for others), doesnt appreciate different levels of ability/fitness (looking down on scaling), or makes demeaning comments about other people would certainly detract from the gym vibe. <br /><br />This however, raises another question, can/should/would a Crossfit affiliate deny a potential membership to that gym if the person is known to have a negative attitude or doesnt appear to be a good fit with the existing culture?<br /><br />Sam B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-81584215787554318352011-02-22T13:44:48.018-05:002011-02-22T13:44:48.018-05:00results from 9:30

But I am proof you can be obese and out of shape with no skill or previous experience and do it. But I also believe crossfit is not going to be for everyone. I suppose not everyone likes intensity. And people might not be into it at different points in their lives like Mel said. <br /><br />and man there are a lot of geeks around here! ;-)Steph vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-599837871055732432011-02-22T10:59:57.556-05:002011-02-22T10:59:57.556-05:00I will check that out Borden.
And for people who ...I will check that out Borden.<br /><br />And for people who shouldn't crossfit, elite athletes who are training very specifically to their sport. That's about all I can think of. I mean, for a power lifter, there's no need for them (when they're only powerlifting) to be able to sprint or run for any long distance. Same thing with long distance runners and strength. <br /><br />Now, is it healthy for those people? I'm pretty sure we can all agree that being well-rounded is a much healthier option, but I think that should be true with all aspects of your life, not just fitness. Seems to me like when you get to those extremes you're more likely to encounter more issues....Petersonnoreply@blogger.com
