Of course, the most diverse causes are given - one of them all, the time it takes to achieve appreciable results.
But one of the causes of the abandonment of gym passes boredom is often found in some forgotten drawer.
The real specialty of CrossFit® is to offer you a different workout every day. This way your enthusiasm will always be high. If you still get bored like this, well: there's really nothing to do.
For many people - for those who are not born sporting, and maybe they are approaching body care only at a certain age - this is a blessing: perhaps even more important than work at 360 ° that the discipline requires you.

No problem.
Un CrossFit® WOD draws on a full range of exercises with overloading (the infamous barbell, kettlebells) and bodyweight.
Here, start with the latter, doing a few sets to learn the movements and, perhaps, alternate them with outdoor jogging.
burpees
Cross and delight of CrossFit®. There are those who say they love them, but they are few. Here you find all you need to know about burpees. Try to focus on a smooth movement, and don't let that put you down… at first they are really hard!
Push up
The push-ups we see as punishment in all the Marines movies. (although now the punishments are burpees!) An exercise that develops chest and triceps and that, if performed well, reserves much more satisfaction than you think.
Free Squat (Air Squat)
Another fundamental movement. Exercise it for a long time, because when it's time to load it with the barbell, it will become like parsley.
Pull up (pull-ups)
We will teach you kipping.
Good. I'd say I told you everything.
Read this, and then ... see you at the box.
