For anyone that’s new to CrossFit, it's essential to start with workouts that emphasize proper form, technique, and gradually increasing intensity. CrossFit WODs are great for people that like to challenge themselves, but if your first ever experience takes you too far beyond your limits then you may end up doing more harm than good.
Luckily, there are some fantastic beginner friendly CrossFit workouts which help introduce the important movements at a pace that’s a lot more manageable. Check them out below!
