You finally took the plunge and signed up for your first Crossfit workout. For many, the idea of getting started can be a little intimidating, but the owners of Bombers CrossFit, Andy and Mandy Kerschbaum, have put together a few quick tips to help you through your first week and set you up for success down the line.

• Drink Lots Of Water: We all know that it is important to hydrate, but have you ever really thought about why? Water makes up over 70% of the human body and acts as a lubricant for your muscles, joints, and vital organs. It regulates body temperature, prevents stiffness, and keeps your brain functioning at its best.
• Fuel Your Body: Eat! Your body is an engine that needs fuel to be able to perform at its best as you complete your CrossFit workouts. Incorporate whole foods into your diet, like leafy greens, root vegetables, eggs, lean meats, seafood, and other non-processed foods.
• Listen To Your Trainers: Pushing hard and resting are equally as important in your CrossFit workout. Make sure you listen to your CrossFit certified trainers. They are there to push you while keeping you safe and preventing injury.
• Community: Unlike traditional gyms, CrossFit boxes like Bombers CrossFit pride themselves on having an excellent sense of community. Get to know the other people in your class. The support system you will develop along the way will empower you to keep going, keep getting stronger, and to be the best you can be.
