Yes, CrossFit is scary to me.
I think it has something to do with the extensive use of acronyms, overall unique terminology and affinity for socks. As well as the fear that I just won’t measure up. I’m no couch potato, but I’m no high performance athlete either. When I think of CrossFit, I think of a bunch of athletes – doing handstands.
Oddly, we were first introduced to paleo through someone involved in CrossFit. We've been living a paleo lifestyle for about 13 months now, but have never crossed over into the world of CrossFit. I've been intrigued by it, but scared of it at the same time.

I consider my current workouts to be pretty decent. We lift heavy things, do some sprints and functional types of movements. We do a pretty good job of keeping it interesting and improving our strength. But it is just Ryan and I. I don’t have to worry about how I compare to anyone I am working out with, because I don't try to compare myself to a 6’4” muscular guy.
The CrossFit style group workout intimidates me. What if I’m not good enough? What if I realize that I am not fit at all and can’t do anything? What if I'm the worst? I guess we will find out the answers to these questions after my first CrossFit workout tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!
Good Luck. Here's my dirty little secret. I think most crossfitters will tell you they felt the same way at one point or another. But we keep at it. To be better, stronger and more confident and then it kind of spreads to the rest of your life and you feel great and confident about everything! You'll have fun! =D
