September 15, First Time

Do you remember the first time you did a CrossFit workout?  You may have felt your first attempt was an abject failure, but you came back.  In time, your work capacity improved.  We all start somewhere. 

Remember the first time you did an unscaled workout, got your first pull-up, or your first body weight overhead squat.  CrossFit gives you the chance for firsts, which leads to increased confidence and ability.

Everyone started exactly where they were.  It sounds redundant, but it helps to remember where you came from.   The world’s fittest people may be gifted athletes, but they train hard and dare to test themselves against steel and the iron wills of others.

CrossFit itself started small, with a single post on a nascent internet.  In 2007 the CrossFit Games came into being.  Only four years later, the games are now televised on ESPN2 and the winners receive $250,000.  Every Wednesday you can watch the games on ESPN2.  Get inspired!
