Can You Do CrossFit If Your Overweight?

People often ask if they can do CrossFit if they’re overweight. 

The answer: Yes! Anyone can do CrossFit.

 In a one-on-one setting, coaches use CrossFit principles to create the perfect workout for a client. Each session is designed to challenge the client at the right level and move the person closer to their goals. In a group setting, the workout for the class is modified to suit the needs of each participant. In “CrossFit language,” quickly modifying a general workout in a group session is called “scaling.” 

For example, imagine a workout like this:

 3 rounds of:
20 barbell squats
Run 1 mile

That’s tough! But what if we adjusted it for a beginner who wants to lose weight and hasn’t worked out very much in the past? It might look like this:

3 rounds of:
5 body-weight squats
Jog or walk 100 meters
