Be Well: CrossFit Workouts for Beginners

Starting a cross fit exercise routine can be intimidating, especially when you pass by those hard core gyms and see the workout that they're doing inside. That's right. But guess what? You don't have to be an exercise professional to do a cross fit workout. In fact, you can do it at your own home. So, crossfit trainer and co founder of Jetty Fitness, Eric Coen is here today to show us how. That's right. So, Eric is not only a, you know, cross fit enthusiast, he's actually a champion third in the world. This is incredible. You take a look at this picture. You've got some strength Eric. So you're gonna help us get fit right now. Yes. So climbing a 20 ft rope, we don't have to do that at home. But let's just start by squatting and Shannon, you got those poles. Yeah. What do the polls do? Jetty poles give you balance and stability and if you don't have them at home, you can just use a counter. You can use a chair. Looks like this. He's a broom handle, but we want a squat and get low out here. We go as low as you can, everything counts. If you only get this low, it counts. All right, if you can get this low, it counts. And now I'm wearing a backpack, but this is a specific jetty backpack and it has weight to it. Yeah, it has a steel plate. So this is gonna make it a little harder. So you got the hard job. I like it. So every squat you're working that much harder. And now let's go into another, a great move to lunge. So we're gonna step forward and drop that back. Knee, Shannon, you got those jetty poles. They're helping stabilize you again. It's a little bit of a weight to them as well. And at home use a counter, use a chair. Shannon, if that's, if someone's at home, grab your kid's backpack and throw some books in it, it's gonna add some weight and some resistance. Put your kids on your back. I got a family work out. Now, why did you pick the squat in the lunch? So these are total leg workouts. We're getting the front of our legs with the squats. We're getting the back with the lunges and squatting. We're doing this every day. We're getting down in the chair up in a chair. This is a functional movement. Great for legs. But what about the upper body? So let's go down and let's do a push up. Ok. Now, I don't need the sticks for this. No. So I'll just, so we can go on our knees, we can go on our legs and let's do push ups. And how many do we wanna do? We wanna do 10? And if you only have four minutes, let's get back up. Ok. We can do 10 squats, squats, squat. Ok. It's the whole circuit you want to do now? Yep. We can do 10 lunges. Ok. And let's lunge and I'm trying to get that knee all the way down. We're trying to get as low as we can. But everything counts. Ok? You can even just pulse here. Oh, that's actually harder. Do five of those. Ok. And then switch and on the other side. Yeah. Switch legs to the other side and I try to make it a little bit more difficult by just doing one pole. Exactly one chair if you're at home, one counter and you can make it as difficult or as hard as you need. But these three movements together, right. We're gonna get our heart rate up. We're gonna go as many times as we can and then we're going back down into the push up again. The push ups do 10 push ups. Really? Now, if somebody wanted to make it a little bit more difficult because they are a little bit more advanced, what would you suggest? All right. You ready? Let's, let's go to the bottom of our push it and pick our hands up off the floor. Now I put them back down? Ok. How's that gets me back in there? No, no cheating on those.
