You tube is a great resource, I use it all the time. I am only 3 months into CF and don't have everything down yet. I agree with Bell_ that the elements classes show you that and they usually go over it before a WOD begins. Good luck and work hard.

Are you doing it yourself at home? If you are doing it in a box they should do a foundations course to teach you all the moves before you join any classes.

If you are doing it yourself there is an app called iWOD Mobile that you can download for free and it shows all the moves with youtube links to show you how :-)

Hi
I go to a more general gym rather than a crossfit one as they tend to cost 50%-100% more than what i'm currently paying.

Thanks for the suggestion, i couldn't find that app but have found another one. Why didn't I think of that lol!

Thankyou

not to sound like an a** but you if you suck it up and pay for the crossfit gym (even for a few months to learn all the movements with proper form) you will probably get 100-150% more out of it. I tried to do crossfit on my own at the commercial gym, but ended up at an actutal crossfit gym. the support from my coaches and other members makes me push harder than i ever could on my own, their programming is awesome, i have increased my strength and fitness levels more in the last year than i had simply just working out on my own.

that being said... if you don't want to pay for the gym I would find a gym who posts their WODS online (strength and metcons) and go from there. look up the movements that you don't know and simply learn them on a day by day basis. I would stay away from the OLY lifts unless you have a coach.

edited: crossfit invictus has really great programming, they have 3 levels- i would recommend following the fitness level until you become proficient with everything http://www.crossfitinvictus.com/category/wod/

I look at it like this at a regular gym a lot of the extra classes cost you$$$


My box comes to about 6 bucks a class if I go 5 days a week. That's not bad seeing I'm getting a lot of coaching throughout the WOD.


The better gyms will have more coaches with bigger classes.


Form Form Form and I don't really think thats something you can teach yourself.

I suspect if you go to a good box in your area and FEEL the difference you will see what a good value it is. I too can't even imagine trying to do this on my own. The personal attention, inclusion and encouragement are priceless.
