    I am a totally newbie too. I've done three intro classes at different Boxes and am starting my On Ramp classes next week. Until then I am going to try to do either

    AMRAP x 12 minutes
    5 Burpees
    10 kettlebell Swings
    15 air squats

    or

    AMRAP x 12 minutes
    5 push ups
    10 sit ups
    15 air squats


    3 times a week just to build up a little bit of a base.

    So I start my On-Ramp tonight and I did ZERO of the workouts I said I was going to do! WHOOPS. I think I am going to be in for a VERY sore Saturday!

    You will be, but it is a good sore!!! I'm 7 weeks in and my BFF stated I sounded like an old lady standing up at lunch yesterday! But I'm loving every minute of it!

    That was the case for me for a couple of months. Crossfit exposes your weak points without mercy, that is for sure.

    I'm new-ish too, I started doing onramp in Oct. then a couple weeks of classes before being diagnosed with arthritis in both knees and taking off. I just went back yesterday and wow am I sore! The class I went to was amazing but only offered when I'm at work so I'm searching for the right fit. It's the only workout I've ever actually liked.

    Learnt technique for skipping and press ups.
    Then set my 5 rep max for press and push press
