    Functional fitness can be confusing when you start out - so many movements, abbreviations, acronyms... and which skill to learn first? In this video I cover the 5 (actually I sneak a 6th in there) most important and beneficial movements that all beginners should focus on:
    0:00 Intro
    1:00 The Squat
    3:30 The Press
    6:30 The Deadlift
    9:36 The Pull-up
    12:13 The Burpee (and bonus movement!)
    Check out all of the above for in-depth demos, cues and variations to help get you started with functional fitness!

      So the blog post beginner workouts… if it’s 10 different workouts, do you just work on each one a different day until you get better at them
      Before getting training?

    Yes please. More beginner content would be great. A couch to confident style video would be awesome. I’m 46 and over weight and see those doing CrossFit and instantly think “I can’t do that”. This video makes me think “I might just be able to do this”.

      I joined CrossFit at 58 yrs old and 248 pounds. I was nervous and worried I wouldn't be able to do what the others were doing.
      the coaches had me scale or do a foundation workout according to what I could do. The first 6 weeks i lost 15 lbs and by 8 months I had lost 48lbs by just doing the CrossFit workout. I didn't change my diet just my intentions and determination to go five days a week and do the workout. Not gonna lie I was sore in places I never thought you could be sore in. I wish I had known about CrossFit earlier in my life but I am genuinely happy I found it now. I started weightless with a PVC pipe and then went to a 15lb bar up to the 35lb bar. I haven't run in years cause of weak knees due to being overweight.
      I run now, it's a scale run but I'm running and that's amazing. Give it a try. Not a traditional gym. Members are amazing, coaches are amazing and so helpful. I'm trying to reach a goal weight closer to 150 but my main goal first is to be stronger and healthier. My trainer always said 1% every day is what gets you to your goal. It doesn't happen overnight, nothing does but 1% will get you there. 1% of nothing is still nothing but 1% of something is something. I'll take something over nothing any day. Good luck in whatever you do.

    Thanks for a great video. I’d welcome more videos on the basics. I injured myself doing deadlifts incorrectly and it has taken a long time to heal.I’m lifting again but taking it slowly. Beginning lifting in mid-life is a big learn and injuries take extra time to heal so any training to help us do lifts properly I’m all for that

  • @debrarubinutube
    @debrarubinutube Год назад

    I loved the real life movements tied into some of these. I am working one on one with a coach from my box and I learned more from this video than hours with her. I never understood what tight core was, like the bracing for a punch description. Closing the car door with you butt for the squat is genius. I really liked the way you described the press movement being similar to putting away groceries because I used to push the bar in front of me. I do think you made the pull up seem easier than it is. Many people at our box have to do modifications and as a beginner it is a tough one. I love this beginner video, will be watching your other videos explaining more about the most basic movements.

    Thanks for the video. I have been working out most of my life but really want to get into CrossFit. I have a wrist and shoulder injury so some workouts can be difficult.
    I want to work on my pull-ups more. I kind of avoid them because they can be sore on my shoulder but I have started doing more shoulder strengthening exercises to help with that and stretches.
    Also, my cardio does need some work so I have been running and hiking every day.
    Anyway, I have subscribed and looking forward to improving my fitness.
