Frequently Asked Questions
- Ask Away! What's Crossfit? Can you do it? How do you get started? If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound? Are you doing what you were meant to do in life? The answers to all (well, most) of your questions!
- 1. These workouts sound gnarly and impossible. Do you have to be an Olympic athlete do to Crossfit?
- a. No! All Crossfit workouts are scalable. Can’t do pullups? We have an alternative. Can’t deadlift 385#? Don’t worry- start with 10#, and if you stick with it, you’ll watch your strength grow exponentially. Coaches are more than willing to work with you to adapt the day’s WOD to challenge you at a level you can handle.
- 2. Speaking of WOD’s, what’s a WOD?
- a. You’ll find Crossfit has its own lingo. The WOD is the Workout of the Day, which changes daily. Some days are single modality (one type of exercise, e.g. lifting or cardio), others are dual modality (e.g. cardio and body weight (“gymnastic”) exercises or lifting), while still others are triple modality (cardiovascular, gymnastic, and lifting). WODs are typically for time, for rounds, or for weight, meaning: for time- pretty self explanatory, the WOD will say something like “Five rounds for time of…”; for rounds- as many rounds as you can complete in a given time period; for weight- again, self explanatory- you’re going for the heaviest weight you can lift safely and successfully.
- 3. Does everybody do everything in unison, like step-aerobics?
- a. Nope. You’re pushing yourself at your own pace- trying to be as fast as you can, or complete as many rounds as you can. You’ll still be working out with other people in class, but they may finish before or after you.
- 4. But what if I finish last?
- a. So what? You did it right? DFL>DNF>DNS. Odds are that you are going to be last at some point, whether it’s because you are having a bad day or what we are doing that day isn’t your strong suit. But the point is, you came in, you tried, and you put yourself out there (rather than staying home and eating doughnuts). You’ll find that everyone who Crossfits has respect for anyone else who does- it doesn’t matter if it takes you 5 minutes or half an hour to do something- we’re all in this together.
- 5. What the heck does DFL>DNF>DNS mean?
- a. Dead F*cking Last beats Did Not Finish beats Did Not Start. It’s the Crossfit360 motto.
- 6. Who does Crossfit? Am I going to fit in, or will I be the only (female, male, over 40, LE officer, firefighter, overweight, underweight, superfit, unfit, good-looking, bad-looking, insert adjective of your choice) person there?
- a. Everybody can do Crossfit- we get people from all walks of life (seriously). Some of us are superfit, some of us have set a goal to become superfit, and some of us just want to not suck at life, as they say over at Crossfit One World in northern California. We have men, women, police officers, students, older adults, overweight people, underweight people, and people from all walks of life and backgrounds- some are former or current athletes, while some have never played sports. And hey- everyone at our gym is good-looking!
- 7. How does this fit with Krav Maga and Thai Boxing?
- a. Crossfit is a great compliment to our other programs because it emphasizes explosive power, in addition to 10 other components of fitness. Chances are, if you either elect to put yourself in the ring or find yourself in a street fight, you’ll be doing something very intense for a relatively short duration. That is Crossfit! For example, a police officer frequently won’t chase a suspect for 10 miles. So why train to run 10 miles? Why not train to run 2 miles FAST? Real life doesn’t involve bicep curls (well, unless you live in a frat house), elliptical machines, and giving your leg muscles a day off every other day. So why would you exercise that way?
- 8. Why do you have rest days/skill days/make up day? What’s the reason for that?
- a. One of the recommended Crossfit splits is 5 on, 2 off, which is the split we use at our gym. We realize that because of work, life, interpretive dance classes, etc. that you might miss a work out on a weekday, or that 5 on, 2 off might not work for you for other reasons. Since we predict you’ll turn into a workout junkie, you’ll be disappointed when you miss a WOD. So the Saturday class is the day we give you to make up a missed workout the previous week. Don’t feel like it, but still want to come in on a Saturday? That’s OK- make it a skill day, and use it to focus on a weak area, like running, pullups, muscle-ups, handstand pushups, you name it. Practice a few dozen of those, plus your warm up, and there’s your workout. We find that the exercises that are tougher for people to execute don’t come up often enough to allow people to focus on them, and when you’re doing the WOD for time, it’s often hard to also focus on learning.

Why, Jenn, why?!
Because it's MY day off! Oh wait. That means I have to do this tomorrow. Rats. Foiled again!
Jenn
WELL! 100 burpees is TWICE as many as 50. Done at home, since car was in the shop, so warmup was 2-mile bike ride to pick up car.
Did 1st 25 in 1:30; next 25 in 2:39 (total time- 4:09). I was thinking I let that "100" get into my head: finished last 50 in 5:07 (total time- 9:16).
I know, I know: you just finished yours and you're too tired to do the math. I'll do it for you (you're welcome):
Total Avg: 5.56 secs. pb ("per burpee")
Total Avg. per 10: 55.6 secs.
Avg. for 1st 25: 3.6 secs. pb
Avg. for 10 for 1st 25: 36 secs.
Avg. for 2nd 25: 6.36 secs. pb
Avg. for 10 for 2nd 25: 1:03
Avg. for last 50: 6.14 secs. pb
Avg. per 10 for last 50: 1:01
Aside from general mania, why do I do this? (The math, bozo, not XFit.) Because I can actually learn something about my own performance habits. Obviously something broke in my head after the first 25, since my spb ("seconds per burpee") rate sliced itself almost in half (i.e., I got slower). I remember thinking that I wanted to quit! ("But Mustafa don't quit! Ever!!!") The 2nd 50 sucked, but lo and behold: I had hit the half-way mark, and I actually increased my spb rate! So what did we learn?
"Well, I -- I think that it -- that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em -- and it's that -- if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?"
No, Dorothy, it's that getting to the halfway point is MY mental obstacle, and that I could probably go harder earlier: clearly I have some reserve steam, since my final effort tends to increase over my mid-way effort. So, Mustafa: STOP SANDBAGGING! >:-(
Photo inset: Barney doing his burpees. Did someone say there was new "longest-post" royalty in the house? I didn't think so.
Great job today! Remember its going to be work either way so you might as well get it done as fast as you can.

Moose - I love ya, but I think you spend a little too much time talking to yourself at your computer...
Although, I was entertained.
Can't wait to enter into the Matrix with you, buddy! We'll work on that sandbagging thing :)
Talking to myself???? Do you realize how many inanimate objects are in my office with which I have an ongoing dialogue???????????
