I had heard about it and always wanted to give it a try. It was difficult to be to be excited about an exercise or movement or have the drive to do it without someone telling me to do it.Įnter CrossFit. I also had a really hard time pushing myself. Then I would be the only girl in the free-weights section and feel self-conscious about what I was doing, like many other women. I’d continuously watch others and compare myself to them. I battled with insecurity my entire life and I still had bouts of it while at the gym.

I would see others that seemed to be enjoying themselves, but to me I just thought moving from machine to machine was tedious and boring. Even with my music blasting over my headphones, I just didn’t enjoy it that much. I didn’t look forward to going to the gym and I just felt like time was dragging while I was there. It was good, but I was bored, and had a hard time pushing myself. That being said, CrossFit is what makes me happy! 😀īefore I joined CrossFit, I spent up to two hours in the gym doing whatever program I was trying at that moment. If you are enjoying yourself and being active, then I am all for that! Do whatever makes you happy! 🙂 While I don’t enjoy swimming laps or doing sets of different exercises at a gym or participating in an aerobics class, that doesn’t mean that those aren’t great ways to exercise and stay in shape. It may be the best program for myself, but we are all different.

I don’t agree that CrossFit is the best program, and don’t think others should preach it that way either. I get where that feeling can come from, that “badassitude” is something that a lot of CrossFitters seem to acquire, which is actually one of the feelings that keeps me coming back (I’ll get more into that a little later in this article). I think the majority of the hate is directed towards those that act like CrossFit is THE best thing out there, and that they are the best because of what they do. I know CrossFit gets a lot of love and a lot of hate. Everyone is different, and what works for you works for you. Before I go into my personal experience, I want to explain that it is just that…my personal experience. There has also been many articles that argue the opposite, and there will be more. There have been many other articles like this one, and there will be more. The price you pay as a consumer does not change, but I may make a small commission based on your purchase.
