Started CrossFit two months ago! Ran a mile without stopping today for the first time in my entire life!

@thebestme I also see my biceps forming and you best believe I flex in the mirror every other day !!!

 

[doejy]

@rgw00 YES!!! So happy for you!!! So many more milestones to come. I've been doing crossfit for about 18 months now. In that time, I've climbed a rope for the first time in 20 years, done the first handstand push up of my life, and so many other HOLY CRAP I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT moments. Stick with it! So excited for you!!

 

[rgw00]

@doejy Ahhh yes one of my main goals is to be able to do a handstand and a pull up!! I love this comment

 

[doejy]

@rgw00 Oh yeah!! And my first pull up in who knows how long. And yes, kicking up to a handstand was a big accomplishment, too. But then one day I just felt it - I knew I could get a handstand push up. And I DID. Now I can do like 15! So life changing. So excited for you. It’s a whole new life. Just be careful. Slow progress is progress. Just showing up is progress.

@rgw00 Reading stories like this keep me doing CrossFit even if its by myself.

 

[rgw00]

@rgw00 congrats, if you don't mind my asking, what was your first crossfit workout like and what's your favorite workout now?

 

[rgw00]

@treva My first workout was actually a partner workout on the beach for the gyms anniversary so it was pretty fun, and now I don’t know if I have a favorite workout but my favorite things to work on are handstands and pull-ups!! Obviously modified.

@rgw00 Congratulations!!

 

[rgw00]

@dawn16 Thank you!!

 

[dawn16]

@rgw00 Stay with it, there is always the next goal. Don't give up. You can do the impossible with Crossfit!

 

[rgw00]

@dawn16 Some of my goals are to be able to do a handstand and a pull up!! Thank you

@rgw00 What's stopping you from doing a handstand? Just curious, as I don't think of it as requiring a lot of strength. Or are you trying to do a handstand hold for a certain amount of time? I've been working on my handstands, too... Sommmmeday I will get a handstand push-up

@rgw00 congratulations! hope it inspires you to work harder

@rgw00 Great job! Keep up the good work.

@rgw00 I’m a firm believer running slowly kills you..

But all jokes aside, that’s accomplishment is AWESOME. Distance running/biking/rowing/etc I think plays a key part in overall fitness, and it feels amazing when you hit those milestones! I bet the next time you run a mile you’ll smash your previous time.

Keep grinding man. You got this!

@rgw00 Well done! You should be proud

 

[mynameisapp]

@rgw00 Dude great job. That's one of the great benefits of Crossfit, I have become a better long distance runner without ever running long distances.

 

[nonoza123]

@rgw00 Congratulations! That’s awesome! I also ran the first mile of my life in CrossFit (age 29 at the time) and have since run my first ever 5k without stopping to walk. Both of these are things I never would have imagined being able to do before CrossFit.

@rgw00 That’s awesome, it’s a great feeling!
