Here are 10 CrossFit workouts that will help improve fitness and build a solid foundation. My first CrossFit workout was Cindy. I lasted 8 minutes instead of the full 20. I repeated that workout each week until I could do all 20 minutes. The point I am trying to make is to start and do what you can. Leave your ego at the door and prioritize technique. If you need guidance always work with a coach. You can always schedule a call with a CrossFit coach by clicking the link below.
