Three Tips for CrossFit Newbies
 The world of CrossFit is often filled with daunting tasks for newcomers. After a few visits, however, many newcomers are simply hooked on the fitness regimen. Here are three tips to help first-timers scale the CrossFit learning curve. Compete against yourself: Although many CrossFit gyms encourage healthy competition between participants, always remember that the only person you’re competing against is yourself. Draw motivation from friendly competition with others, but remember to go at your own pace and focus on your own progress over time.
 Diet is everything: When it comes to CrossFit, working out is only half the battle. A healthy diet plays an integral role in overall health, as well as the process of becoming stronger. Don’t be afraid to ask for help: CrossFit workouts often involve complex lifts and exercises, many of which newcomers have never seen before. If you aren’t sure how to do a movement, ask for clarification as many times as you need.
