Hard Bits?

Becoming fit isn't complicated at all physically, you just have to work hard repeatedly on a varied group of key exercises (eg: squats, pull-ups, Olympic lifts, rowing, running, swimming, handstand pushups, and ring work) and let your body recover from the workouts and improve.

The hard bit is the mental aspect.

CrossFit Programming is mentally challenging and fatiguing. The Intensity and the task completion based protocols will find you wanting to quit, stop or at least rest a little longer. Attrition is not a maybe but a certainty.
Strategies will emerge for your best way through such intensity, but all will take a certain mental commitment and determination that is uncommon in Gym based programs.
