CrossFit Journal Article
Reprint. First Published in CrossFit Journal Issue 26 - October 2004 A Beginner’s Guide to CrossFit Greg Glassman “Universal scaleability” is the language we’ve routinely used in describing CrossFit to suggest that your grandma could and should be working out with us. In this issue we are not only sticking by that claim but examining it in some detail. We look this month at common obstacles to CrossFit participation and some possible solutions. Chief among the barriers we most frequently hear expressed are a lack of familiarity or ability with the exercises, lack of equipment or space, and inability to complete the workout as prescribed in the workout of the day (WOD). We describe these as problems with the movements, equipment, and intensity. of 5 ® CrossFit is a registered trademark of CrossFit, Inc.
