We recommend three distinct approaches for beginning CrossFit depending on your fitness experience and available facilities.
1) If you are largely familiar with the stable of CrossFit exercises then starting with the WOD (Workout of the Day) is a perfect place to start. If you've had exposure to Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and gymnastics this is the recommended approach to beginning CrossFit. Where our terminology or an exercise is unfamiliar you can immediately acquaint yourself with the movement by finding the video clip for the movement from our exercises section of the site. This is often the best starting approach for athletes with an extensive experience in athletic strength and conditioning - jump right in.
2) If some or many of the exercises are unfamiliar to you and you are only modestly acquainted with elite athletic training then we recommend that you follow the WOD and substitute other exercises for those where you don't have either the equipment or skill and then devise a plan for acquisition of the necessary skills or equipment needed to participate completely. We are developing a Substitution Chart in the FAQ for replacing exercises for which you've not developed the skills or don't have the equipment.
3) If many or most of the exercises are relatively or completely unknown to you, then we recommend that you begin learning the movements for a month or two until you can either perform our common exercises or have substitutions worked out for those movements under development. This is a great place to begin for anyone with little or no experience with serious weightlifting or gymnastics. We are developing supplementary workouts designed to introduce our stable of basic movements building towards the capacity to productively follow the WOD with substitutions, and will post that material here soon.
