5 Things EVERY CrossFitter Should Do

Shout out to Lisbeth Darsh who originally posted hers about a year ago.

1. Keep a log. If you’re serious about reaching goals, you’ve got to keep a log. WordPress, Beyond the Whiteboard or even just a ratty old notebook, it doesn’t matter what tool you use, you’ve got to log your work. (Extra points for logging your food and sleep.)

2. Get your Level 1 certification. You don’t need to have aspirations of becoming a trainer, it’s a great weekend of learning why we do what we do and why CrossFit works.

3. Visit the CrossFit Games. Oh my hell, are the Games awesome! The ESPN2 or online recaps are NOTHING to the CrossFit event of the year. It’s a weekend of pure motivation.

4. Find a coach. Either at an affiliate or online, find somebody who can program for you and keep you accountable for your progress. Nobody likes “Karen”, but it must be done. Coaches make that happen.

5. Learn other methods. What’s great about this growing cult is that we’re not a religion. We’re willing to do whatever works. Read and tinker with other ways of training and eating. If it works for you, stick with it.

A. Check
B. Check – Difficult keeping the knees out while extending the leg. My body wants to reposition itself, which isn’t correct.
C. 95# Finally hit a PR in September!
D. 11:29 – “No Rep”ed myself about 25 times for not hitting the line, plus about 12 air balls.
