Beginning Your CrossFit Journey: The Good, The Bad, and The Fitness Adventure

If you've ever started a gym resolution with the best of intentions only to have your busy schedule get in the way, you're not alone. Traditional cardio, weights, and aerobics are time consuming for fitness buffs on the go. Dedicating an hour or more of each day to an effective exercise routine can quickly become frustrating and unfeasible. 

CrossFit is the ideal advantage for beginners or busy gym rats who may not be able to stick to a time-demanding routine. High intensity interval workouts offer high gains with a shorter session. This is because CrossFit burns calories and builds muscle far more quickly than cardio does. Rather than a daily workout, a high intensity burn can be scheduled for a few days each week, leaving time for rest days and muscle recovery.

Conveniently located for our Brazoria County residents, CrossFit Fortify in Richwood is the perfect midweek break or weekend crunch.

It cannot be stressed enough that CrossFit is for every body. Don't let fear of the unknown stop you from reaching your goals.

One of the most common descriptions of CrossFit we seem to encounter is that it's hard - like, really hard! This can be an intimidating reputation for those looking to embark on a new fitness regimen. The good news is that there's no reason to steer clear if you're a beginner. Those who have never had a consistent exercise routine will find that CrossFit is extremely beginner friendly.

A typical routine starts slow, warming up your muscles and slowly building strength and coordination. This prevents injuries from overexertion and becomes the foundation for more challenging routines later on. Classes are a great way to stay accountable with an empowering environment of friendly fitness enthusiasts at all levels of the journey.

It's easy to abandon a routine when a workout doesn't work for you. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to health. The key to starting a new habit is finding an exercise routine that fits your individual strengths and goals.
