New to CrossFit

[james022]

I've heard about CrossFit a long time ago but never paid much attention to it. Yesterday I saw a video talking about the "Murph Challenge" so I decided to do it for the first timd.
My time was 1:01:15 (h/min/sec format)

I enjoyed the challenge and found it interesting. Can you guys give me some more advice on CrossFit, what I should learn and what I might do next since I'm a complete newbie. All advice and opinions are greatly appreciated!

@james022 Congrats on finishing Murph. No small feat, haha. If you have access to a crossfit gym, go to the classes for a while. That will teach you all the fundamentals and you'll get a better idea of how workouts are put together.

@maorie Thank you! Sadly I do not have access to a CrossFit gym, are there any YouTubers I should watch or programs I should do?

@james022 Good question... I used to follow HWPO60 but it highly depends on how familiar you already are with various movements. I wouldn't necessaryly recommend it to a "beginner crossfitter".

I think I would have had a very hard time to learn most of the gymnastics without a coach to correct me.

Best of luck though
