How to not get hurt doing CrossFit


  1. Learn from someone who knows what they’re doing.  Do the instructors break down the movement before you do them? Does he seem erudite about it?  Does he check your form to make sure you are doing it right, or does he just repeat the word “nice” and “one-more”
  2. Scale
  3. Check your ego at the door, and don’t try to do the weight “the other guys are doing”
  4. Work on your flexibility
  5. Work on your coordination
  6. Work on your technique, a lot!!
  7. Work on your joint stability
  8. Keep your weight LOW if you don’t know the technique and haven’t done the lift before
  9. Stretch regularly and warm up properly (Dynamic and static)
  10. Listen to your body, if it is saying “ouch, that hurts”, THAN SCALE DOWN!
  11. Eat appropriately
  12. Recover appropriately (Eat, sleep and relax)
