Crossfit 101 - The Basics

[@sharonsokol2058]

I'm a 73 year old female Crossfitter and I'm addicted. It's so much fun ! I scale many of the WODs but I've learned to jump rope again & I'm lifting weights for the first time in my life. The coaches really watch out for me and make sure I'm lifting with the correct form. I'm proud to be at the J H Box. 🏋️‍♀️

[@kimberlynoble7476]

This is such a GREAT video. I just went through 10 foundation classes and want to do Crossfit at home. Excited to do this when I get home tonight!!! Thanks.

[@marilynarellanes3010]

I can do this wod at a regular gym. SWEET! Gyms don't allow us to do wall balls but the medicine ball clean is a perfect sub. Thanks!

[@allisonjess]

Great video, thank you! Very clear instructions and well spoken. 10/10 for a beginner like me.

[@bethefrem902]

Simple and go the point, thank you!! I’m brand new to CrossFit and this has been helpful.

Sick, quick and informative clip! Shot man!

[@SonofDarnell]

Amazing and thorough review!

[@coachmrfoster]

I understand that not everyone has prefect form 100% of the time but when you're trying to teach people please have perfect form. It's one thing when you're in your last few minutes of a 20 minute AMRAP, it's another when you cant demonstrate proper rack position on a front squat with 20kg. This hurts my eyes.. and ears. This is why people bash crossfit. Please read (or re-read) the crossfit training guide. Midline stability/neutral spine, posterior chain engagement, core to extremity, frontal plane, active shoulders... I love what he says while she tries to med ball clean..."as you can see the logo is forward the whole time so she doesn't curl the ball" *she curls the ball*

[@jestertheslacker]

Look here everyone! We have an expert among us. Please throw more jargon at us so that everyone can be absolutely sure that you know about crossfit.

[@NomadicEmcee]

Jester The Slacker he's right though...

[@Nastypeon]

I stopped watching the vid and started reading comments at that point. I'm glad you pointed it out.

[@kiarakiller]

I was thinking the same, thank you. A teaching video has to show perfect positions. For example, I think the back’s position in squats is not correct…

[@sonicmoj1]

@@jestertheslacker Look here everyone just because this Jester dude cannot comprehend second grade English, he'll just try to throw things at the wall and see if it sticks.

[@foreverfitscience4298]

Wow, amazing video. Just do the exercise is not enough. To get the proper results, it is quite essential to do it in a proper manner. And the video provide wonderful guidance in this regard.

[@Veronhamtea]

That was great . I am definitely going to try this

[@harreshgobin]

Awesome routine!

[@ancho7]

such a good intro , thank you

[@eyoutube1]

Every time I play one of their video I think it's a jewelry infomercial.

[@bonnitah1730]

Just starting Crossfit, hope this works!

[@zqxwce92]

her knees during that front squat!

[@jestertheslacker]

Yep. Poor form. She's gonna end up tearing some ligaments.

[@emtpwanabe]

Ok. I thought I was the only one that noticed the instability in her knees.

[@samirsinha584]

Fucking

[@VTV-Live]

Lawsuits ahead.

[@shickchick26]

tried today for the first time ever trying to do cross fit at all it was more efective than what I usually do I am gonna keep doing this until I lose another 40 pounds thanks for posting

[@esmeraldafranco6486]

shickchick26 it works i lost 2% fat and gain 2% muscle and went down 2 sizes in 4 weeks. Would have lost more if i ate better. Also include some running or biking between reps and a rest time. Then repeat with less reps and less running so you dnt exaust yourself. Good luck!

[@Courtnisadventures]

@@esmeraldafranco6486 may I ask what your starting weight was

[@mehxxx]

​@@esmeraldafranco6486 how often did you do classes? Did you see results after 4 weeks total?

🔥🔥🔥

[@DMNDSGRND]

Very helpful video!

[@clarizelin]

love it going to use it for me workout

[@larrycook2289]

Good primer. Excellent form. If you are not ready for a bar yet try it with a broomstick until you get the form down.

[@fitfatbrittrny]

I'm gonna try this! If I end up looking like her I'll do it lol

[@hayatial-yawmiya1681]

So how's the results girl?

[@wadesisk7964]

Her core is not braced on air squat. She is over extened in the lumbar, that's why you see the butt wink at the bottom of the air squat

[@ahmedelmuiz]

Crossfit 102 - WAITING !!!

[@clanreid2556]

With perfect form you can do it!

[@nenabishop4482]

Thank you, I just got into CrossFit

Amazing. Thanks .

[@pratikthakur379]

Perfect training sir

[@janty962]

Wow. I never done crossfit before. I wanna try to do crossfit cause im bore of my weight lifting routines every sunday. Wish to see more of crossfit list exercise that work the whole body.

[@87PowerMan]

look for comments from experts below...blahahahaha

[@rickrosler]

It looks to me like the Sumo deadlift High pull would cause interior rotation of the shoulders. Is that not a concern for rotator cuff injuries?

[@llllooo4362]

Squats were perfect form 😉

[@whitme100]

I liked his instruction.

[@michellewhiteley79]

Since it's for beginners, I assume that she is in fact, a beginner. Cut the girl some slack and quit being mean

[@filthymcnastyazz]

it's a demo from beginners on how to do the moves, beginners would not know this shit was wrong and will copy thinking it looks ok. Tutorials pass on something of value not injury

[@jesuslovesyou7130]

Get tough

[@alohacoach8002]

I blame the trainer

[@THRIVEAFFIRMATIONS]

That doesn’t mean that we suffer for her. He made the video with a person like this without correcting her in front of the audience (video) to teach form ( like common mistakes blah blah..) not good for people that wanted to repeat this at home. Her hips, her knees.. she needs better cues from the coach. He is not a good instructor. First thing is: measuring the bar so it doesn’t weight more to one side and make you loose the form. “”Cue

[@myvideoisnotgood]

good warm up workout

[@sumitgratitude655]

THANKS BRO

[@stattoo32]

Awesome!

[@BDGKruger]

For squats remember the weight on the heel.

[@vinicastellanos8648]

This girl is probably doing the very best of what she knows but she is surely not familiar with crossfit.

[@shelly5596]

I have never do CrossFit and I’m extremely out of shape and have low endurance. I’ll have to take baby steps to be able to do the complete workout.

[@neesaaveryowen18]

Are there suitable or semi-suitable substitutions for the Barbell, KB and Med Ball? I work part time and would love to start getting into Crossfit.

[@Ash21Scotland]

Good barbell routine. I dont have many weight plates for my feable/light bar though. How heavy is she lifting? And id there a written out workout plan you can follow?

[@perigo22]

What weights are you using for the kettle bell and med ball? I know it'll be different for me. Just curious.

[@charlesauta6686]

once she gets some weight on that front squat that bar is gonna fall

[@jamescampbell6556]

horrible form on all exercises. this is why people get hurt

[@euleneats]

I got pain on my left knee by doing squats the wrong way. This is how women who wear a face full of makeup to the gym do squats

[@moroccangrl2006]

Yes. Her knees with those squats 😳

[@alohacoach8002]

I blame the trainer

[@squirrel3443]

You can tell she’s never lifted, she’s a treadmill bunny trying to look cute

[@LuminousLifting]

BambiJesus If she was a treadmill bunny she would look more scrawny or skinny-fat. She definitely does some form of strength, she doesn’t look weak. Most likely she just casually works out and isn’t used to crossfit exercises

[@LaurenJoyce7]

[@Lilacandybunny]

Cool

[@kimjongun2715]

Who wants McDonald's?

[@yeatts134]

Yeah her front squat was terrible. I'm glad my box owner coach didn't just get a weekend class to teach us cap like your trying to. He has almost 20 years of coaching. That's what sets crossfit boxes apart is real coaches vs. (90%) people looking to make some money on crossfit while it's the hottest thing. It's sad you don't correct her on camera. Do you correct your members? Probably not since you just want their money. I pay my box little over 100 a month and my coach gets in my face if my form is lacking but I'm better because of it. This ain't planet fitness.

[@sofianieves7545]

Taylormade084 I'm thinking about doing crossfit but I'm scare I heard is very hard and people can get hurt badly. Can you please tell me what you think, do you think crossfit is good for women?

[@kiarakiller]

@@sofianieves7545 yes, it is, if you choose a good trainer

[@Ilovepineapple]

Her form on deadlift hurt my back 😵‍💫

[@ItsAlreadyRendered]

I have been working out for about 2 months now so I'm still fairly new. However, I'm really concerned about her form. My trainer is always on my ass about form even if my foot turns a little from second toe forward to big toe forward. It is because even a tiny shift like that while picking up a load can be not only painful but can cause injury. I should know because I have lower leg dysfunction and I used to have knee pain from not having proper knee tracking. Since I started working on releases and stretches for that and practicing good form, I've been pain free.

[@ItsAlreadyRendered]

Oh trust me I know. Now it's been almost 6 months and I'm down 64 lbs. and have never been stronger. She taught me well and Brent Brookbush has helped out so much.

[@ItsAlreadyRendered]

Thank you! It's been an unbelievable journey so far and I can't wait to see how far it will take me.

[@gatekeeper88]

***** can you link or mention what your trainer has you doing for your knee pain?.. I'm in the same boat with tracking issues as well (delayed VMO activation mostly I think)

[@ItsAlreadyRendered]

gatekeeper88 Well she did have me watch some videos by Brent Brookbush right here on KZbin. Specifically his videos for lower leg dysfunction. Depending on if your knees cave in or bow out, you'll want to check out the videos accordingly. Find out which one it is and then watch the videos accordingly. He mentions at the beginning of every video what dysfunction the video will help out with. Hope that helps.

[@gatekeeper88]

***** will do thanks for the info :)

[@pablorubin9638]

muy bueno

[@Ash21Scotland]

i did it using 2 powerblock dumbbells, who needs barbells :D

[@ChristophePeytier]

She's a very pretty girl ! woooow....

[@nikiss8]

What you are referring to is hipsters or cool or rich peeps, always trying something 'new' the latest and greatest outfits, classes, restaurants, clubs... Whatever you do if there is intensity it is crossfit, kicking pullups, chest to bar, knees on the floor and still trying to do a push up, but mostly being part of a community and helping others to be better by first improving yourself and then others. Bodybuilding, essentially you eat, steroids, lift and pose in super small panties...

[@RonVik7]

Her left knee ok moving inward during squat, which indicates on tight hip flexors and weak glutes.

[@abhattach21]

I'm assuming you can use dumbbells instead of bar?

[@mwinowyll852]

She has beautiful hair.

[@metalmessenger]

from all the videos i've seen i came to a conclusion. Dont do it alone, you will use poor form and hurt yourself.

[@alfredofloyd]

technique is just technique, doesn't mean if you dont use it you will hurt yourself, maybe you will use another group of muscles but nothing more. Unless you feel pain everytime you do an excersice youll be fine

[@ChristianAaron832]

just dont do it do a proper exercise not gayxercise

[@allisonavery7273]

I thought her squats looked to be in good form

[@sandeepsinghnegi1621]

[@Colleenrose998]

How heavy should the bar and the ball be for a 55 yr old woman in decent shape?

[@EvanderSmart]

0:12 I ain't got shit like that, so can I go now?

[@garygary4833]

+Armed Society is it $200 on average for all crossfits? now i see what its mostly europeans, a way to deter the dirty minorities. Guess i'll be forking out $200 to be part of a cult. But i'd probably make a bad crossfitter, cause I'd be telling the coach... "Umm this is bad posture, every single exercise, in fact the entire concept of crossfit is a recipe for injury".... The idea that speed is more important than technique baffles me.

[@minority86]

+Gary Gary There's a crossfit club at my school and u get a discount where u pay 100$ for the full semester otherwise too much money

[@HagakureJunkie]

+Bitcoin Video University You can do what I did and buy the equipment yourself then take a couple classes to learn the basics properly, quit and go off and do it yourself.

[@esmeraldafranco6486]

Crossfit 101. 1. Have bad form. 2.Act better than everyone. 3 Curl in the Squat Rack 4. Kip the fuck out of your pull-ups. Remember, momentum is more important than form. 5. House music. You are now ready to be in the crossfit games.

That anterior pelvic tilt tho.........

[@gatekeeper88]

might want to address that knee valgus during the squat and the butt wink.

[@live4pce]

Starting to feel a bit confused. So many of the comments say the form is all wrong. I'm just learning about crossfit and don't want bad info. Last thing I want it to get injured and have to delay. Where can I find the most accurate info online. Someone help!
