Crossfit?

Shoot I'm nervous about this crossfit training but I'm definitely up for the challenge and excited as well. :-)

It is all good. The coaches will ease you into it. Number one rule is not to compare yourself to others as there will always be stronger, faster or weaker, slower folks. It is about your progression and goals. However, I do admit I look up to a lot of athletes at my box, super impressed by what they can do. I make it a point to learn from others where I can and always remember that today is a day to improve in some way. Not every day will be a good day and some days you have to force rest onto yourself to avoid overtraining or rest because you feel broken. You listen to your body and do the best you can.

That is amazing! I can't wait to try it & I'm glad you can go at your own pace, since I am not in great shape. I am looking forward to the challenge and I am trying to convince my husband into going with me, even though he is in great shape & works out daily. I think it will challenge him too.

Crossfit is worth every penny. I did get hurt though. But that is totally my fault. I went heavy on a farmer carry that was a long distance. I didn't listen to my body say no. And I kept pushing myself. I pushed for an additional week until I just couldn't anymore. Lesson learned let me tell you. I hurt my brachialis tendon. Not fun. I can push but cannot do any pulling motion or gripping motion. Its been three months. I'm seeing a chiropractor, doing ultrasound therapy, ice and tens unit therapy and going to be starting laser therapy after the new year.

Don't let this scare you. Just listen to your body no matter how hard you want to push yourself. It will benefit you in the long run.

Talley- how unfortunate and painful. It sounds like a long road to recovery. Best wishes to you.
