1. Check your goals


When it comes to maximizing your fat loss, having clearly defined goals is key. There's a reason CrossFit's WODs (workouts of the day) are displayed before the workout begins; they instantly give you an idea of ​​the objective to be achieved.

Setting goals will keep you motivated. The key ? Make your goals realistic and achievable. If you set a goal that's out of reach from the start, it's only a matter of time before you get discouraged. It's human nature.

Before you even begin your journey, take the time to write down 4 or 5 specific goals you hope to achieve. They should be about "show" and "go" - your body composition and physical performance.

Write down these goals and put them where you will see them each day. You want that constant reminder. The more consistent you are, the faster you will get results.

2. Try benchmark exercises

A great idea is to learn all of the CrossFit benchmark bodyweight exercises and do them regularly. These workouts will challenge you while giving you a good idea of ​​your base fitness level.

These are mostly strength training exercises that focus more on cardio and less on strength.

Names like "Helen", "Kelly" and "Barbara" may not sound intimidating, but don't let that fool you. Helen , for example, challenges you to complete three 400-meter laps, 21 KB swing, and 12 pull-ups as fast as you can.

Hannah recommends beginners start with 2-3 CrossFit-style workouts per week. Advanced lifters can challenge themselves with 4-5 weekly workouts.

Since many workouts are bodyweight focused, you can do them at a higher frequency. Nevertheless, you should always listen to your body and rest if necessary.

3. Approach fitness as a way of life

We firmly believe that CrossFit is a lifestyle. It's not something that only takes 30 to 60 minutes a day. It's not a sport to be practiced, it's an intense way to train that requires consideration of recovery and nutrition.

Even if you're not ready to become a CrossFit star, approaching your training as part of a bigger picture can help turn your habit into a way of life . For example, a stricter diet can both aid recovery and fuel your workouts.

We recommend making serious changes to your eating routine , starting with small changes and gradually improving your diet.

You can start by eliminating the worst "bad" meal and, once it's gone, eliminate the next worst. Sugary drinks should be something to cut out immediately, as should fried foods or sweets.

We also recommend using a food tracking system to keep track of everything you put in your mouth or drink for the next seven days.

Sometimes we get carried away through the day, which makes us forget what we ate and when we ate it. Thanks to this system, you will be more aware of what you put in your mouth and you will be able to make better decisions .

This does not mean that sweets are no longer the order of the day.

Don't deprive yourself of what you crave, or it will only be a matter of time before you crash and burn. A cheat meal a week to have a little to taste is good; but don't finish the whole plate.

4. Try Tabata!

Tabata has proven to be an effective way to lose fat and maintain lean muscle mass. It's actually standard high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that takes it to a whole new level: 20 seconds of hard work followed by 10 seconds of rest.

"Combine intense cardio exercise with resistance movement, and the 20 seconds you're working on will feel like an eternity once the 4-minute workout is up.

She recommends that you keep the beat going for the full 40 minutes , changing verses every 4 minutes and taking a break in between. Some of my favorite exercises for fat loss are the KB swing, jump rope (double jump), push-press, handstand push-ups, and box jumps!

Pick your favorite activities from this list, and you'll have an intense workout.

5. Build community and gain support

If there's one thing anyone who's ever done CrossFit knows, it's that once you join a CrossFit club, you become part of a new family.

CrossFit is about community and building relationships that will last a lifetime. It's a group of people who all come together in the same environment to improve.


Surround yourself with like-minded people who will push you to support your efforts - and who will text you when you don't show up to the gym!
