Hey everyone,

I'm just getting started with CrossFit. I love it, but I'm very discouraged. I suck at everything. Who knew it would take so much coordination?

Is there anyone else out there who is just getting started? Any experienced Cross Fitters with some wisdom to share? I guess everyone starts somewhere, but I feel like the new kid at school who can't get through gym class.

    Are you doing CF on your own or with a box?

    I incorporate some CF work into my routine at home and love it. But yes, I sometimes feel like I suck at all of it.

    Re the coordination - if you're talking about Olympic lifts and doing them at home, please get some training first.

    I joined a box. That's why today was so discouraging. I fell off the rope in front of everyone. All the other beginners did alright with it, but it's not natural to me at all. Pretty embarrassing!

    The lifts require a lot of coordination. Also not my strength.

    I"m definitely going to stick with it. I just hope people are nice and don't laugh too hard at me ;-)
