1. Compete with yourself

As a beginner you don't feel empowered to do everything as directed or to be able to do a dozen rounds of a specific set of exercises. All you have to do is practice at your own pace and adjust the intensity to your skills. There's no point in watching what others are doing. Everybody's started their crossfit adventure once, so don' t worry that pani Krysia is already doing another round while you're not even completing the first round. WOD (cut of the day) scares you. The recipe for this is very simple.

2. Adjust the degree of difficulty to your abilities

You need to know your own body and its limits, but remember the most important thing is to use what's called scaling as a form of training programming, to be aware of how much you can afford and how many more repetitions you can do without being exposed to injury, and nothing can replace common sense. It's nothing more than a personalized training program that's designed to adjust exercises to the fitness level of the practitioner.

3. What's more important is what you eat, not what you lift!

A properly balanced diet will allow your energy intake to be fully utilized during exercise. When you eat a meal, you provide your body with nutrients that have a certain effect on its state. Both excess and deficiency of a nutrient can adversely affect your health. Long-term bad eating habits can only appear after a few or a few decades. Nutrition is the key to every aspect of life. Additionally, it will benefit your self-esteem, thus avoiding the so-called bad days. However, remember not to go to extremes. You won't notice it right away.

4. Don't be afraid to ask

If something is still unclear to you or you still don't know something, ask again. Even if you think it might upset others in class, do not be embarrassed and ask. Learning certain movements, such as sitting down, sitting still, or doing Olympic exercises, requires a lot of practice and the eye of a skilled trainer. When you train, you spend your time, money, and most importantly, your health. Don't be afraid to ask for explanations and questions. We were all beginners at one time. If you need help, ask.

5. Don't try to break your records every day

Intensiveness and hard work are not the same thing. Do you feel like it's not your day? Instead of quitting training, we should reduce the weight or reduce the number of rounds and keep working. Don't confuse intensity with hard work. So don't skip your scheduled session just because it doesn't go your way. Okay.

6. Have a good time

And when you finish it, instead of feeling fulfilled, you're feeling unwell and slightly nauseous. Don't take yourself too seriously. Introduce yourself to people you don't know. Do you like the whole time you spend training? If so, then you have no reason to be afraid of the competition. Let's face it, some WDIs aren't fun.

7. Respect rest and regeneration

Think about it from a long-term perspective. Regeneration is about making your body ready for the new tasks you have in mind in the next few hours or days. Proper nutrition, hydration, and sleep all play a role in recovery, but you also need to listen to your body. If you haven't done that yet, go to MobilityWOD classes. You'll learn basic techniques for reducing and breaking muscle. Don't be afraid to plan a day off from exercise once a week or reduce your intensity by half every 4 to 6 weeks.
