The next important thing to remember about CrossFit is that we scale our workouts as required. We are here to push you but we are not here to break you. There is an important distinction there.
So, how do we scale our workouts?
Let's refer to our most recent Sunday in the Park. The workout is listed in the previous post (link). For this workout we had in attendance two regulars - Mat & Spiros - and our newest athlete, Jo. To ensure Jo's safety whilst providing a solid wokout we scaled Jo's work as follows:
- overhead lunges were replaced with weighted lunges
- burpies were performed from the knees
- a few sets of knees to elbows were reduced to 5 reps in place of 10 reps
This also ensured that all participants finished the workout in a similar time. That's greeat for everyone's confidence and workout timing to boot.
So, if you're wondering if CrossFit is too hard for you, the only way to know for sure is to try it for yourself.
We hope to see you soon.
