Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a total beginner, there are CrossFit workouts to meet your needs
The idea of CrossFit can be daunting for some people, as it’s a new form of exercise and the people involved are in fantastic shape. However, there is also a hugely supportive and open community that are welcoming to new members, and happy to encourage everyone to get involved in making adjustments and getting a healthy lifestyle.
Alex from CrossFit Navitas runs us through a series of exercises for the complete beginner right up to the seasoned veteran of CrossFit that you can add to your routine, with a few adjustments. From pullups, to dips and pushups, these exercises are not too complicated, but as always you should make sure to concentrate on your form. Alex gives us some good tips on how to do each exercise, and how to scale them down to make them easier for beginners and remove some of your body weight from the equation.
These would be a perfect fit as a tough circuit if you wanted to add to your regular routine, or check out your local CrossFit gym to see if it’s the right form of training for you.
As Alex notes, if you’re working hard in the gym then an essential piece of kit for your gym bag will be La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands, to make sure that you give your skin some proper protection on your hands, since they take so much punishment.
