6 CrossFit Workouts You Can Do in Your Living Room
It’s no secret that CrossFit workouts have seen tremendous popularity in the last few years. Many people are drawn to the challenge that CrossFit presents and the relative ease of learning the exercises that make up a workout. There’s more than likely a gym (or in CrossFit terms, box) in your community but it’s not always easy to fit in a time to go around your busy schedule.
One component of CrossFit is weight lifting, and you more than likely don’t have free weight barbells in your home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from a CrossFit style workout from your own living room. Remember to talk with your physician before starting a new exercise routine. Once you begin also take care to listen to your body. These workouts appear easy, but if you’re just starting out, take it slow. You should feel tired but if something hurts, stop.
You may want to keep a record of your progress. Try alternating workouts, for example do workout 1 on Monday, workout 2 on Wednesday and workout 5 on Friday. Keep a tally on a calendar or notebook of which you do each day. In a CrossFit box, each workout is timed. It’s a good idea to run a timer at home too, you can then track your progress and see how much you’re improving with each subsequent workout.
