Part of my New Years resolution was to try something new each month, so when a friend invited me to his Crossfit class because it was "Bring a Friend Day", I said yes! Since I always want to be prepared for anything I get into, I looked up what to expect - the exercises (thanks YouTube!), the terminology (box, WOD, AMRAP, PB, PR) and of course, what to wear lol Jane was our coach for the class and she was awesome! After doing some warm ups, and knowing that a handful of us were beginners, she demoed each exercise before we did them. What I found that was really great about Crossfit is that everyone is really encouraging and supportive. Even though I was huffing and puffing from doing my AMRAP (and possibly sweating profusely), having someone say "Great job on your Thrusters!" makes you go from "Omg someone was watching me?!" to "Yayyyyyy me!" *fist pump* If you like group work outs, but knowing you're only competing with yourself (PR and PB!), give Crossfit a try. Besides, when was the last time you did something for the first time? read more
