Start doing CrossFit

These are some of the reasons why I practice and dedicate myself to this sport, there may be others for you but you will surely agree with the ones I am going to mention below.

If you haven’t played sports before, you have the perfect environment to to start your initiation to CrossFit.

Many people don’t like the environment of a gym. But this is really very different, there is a different atmosphere here. People train individually but always encouraging others. It is not a competition to see who can do more, not at all. Whoever finishes first encourages his partner, so that he does not give up, so that he continues, so that he gives everything and the athlete who finishes the longest is the one who is most applauded and applauded.

I swear this makes my hair stand on end, and this atmosphere is engaging. And it makes you want more and more. At CrossFit you improve yourself every day. If you think I’m being exaggerated, it’s because you haven’t tried it yet. It is incredible to see in just one class how they start doing a squat and how they end up doing it in that same class, it is something that I emphasize a lot in my initiation classes, the changes that are achieved with a few months of CrossFit are very noticeable.

Many people who come from other sports or gyms realize that what they did with CrossFit has nothing to do with it, since CrossFit training is functional training and requires many more skills than simply lifting a pair of dumbbells.

Functional training allows your strength to be put to use. The good thing about training through muscle chains and not isolated muscles is that this strength is easier to put into practice in your daily life. Does lifting a wheel, climbing a rope or doing a handstand help? Surely you don’t lift wheels in your daily life, or climb any rope or have to do a handstand, but thanks to that you can carry the shopping better, hold the child better, have better posture or go up the stairs if the elevator is busy and not die trying.

You not only train your body, but also your mind. You are going to realize that many days you are going to hate training because of how hard it is, because you don’t like what you have to do. But, you know what? Those workouts are worth two, the exercises or types of training that we don’t like or are worse at, make us work on our mind, your mind will tell you that you can’t, but your inner voice will say that Yes, and this internal struggle will make you stronger, more persistent, more stubborn (in a good way).

The fact of not giving up, that is already a victory. High intensity = great results.

We always talk about how high intensity is what will give you great results, and every drop of sweat, every last push, when you think you can’t take it anymore, everything adds up. It’s incredible the physical change you can experience with just 3 months of CrossFit. Feel strong, capable of many things.

Something very important for me personally and it is one of the things I like the most is the fact of feeling strong, not because of my physical appearance, but because I am actually stronger. Can you imagine doing pull-ups? make pine backgrounds? Well, you really are capable.

All this and more is possible. I won’t tell you what happens automatically, but if you are persistent, you will be able to do many many things. And to break the barriers that you had about how far you could go. Because you can always do more. The fact of improving yourself little by little makes you have a positive mentality in more aspects not only inside the box but outside. Because you can be an example for others. We are all or can be a reference point for more people. In CrossFit, a series of very positive values are transmitted. You always have someone to involve in a healthier life. Show them that you don’t have to be an experienced athlete, that there is room for everyone in boxing and that we can all improve.

At CrossFit Courage we greatly encourage improving people’s health.
