“I’m not fit enough to do that.”
“I need to lose weight/get strong before starting CrossFit.”
“I could never do that stuff.”

If you want to plan for your retirement or invest, would you wait until you were already wealthy enough to do so before seeking the expertise of a financial planner. No, that would be a huge waste of time and you would likely not be very efficient.

“While we understand that walking into your local CrossFit affiliate can be intimidating, there is truly no better place for you to take that first step. CrossFit trainers are experts in the art of scaling and modifying workouts to meet you where you are. Much like a math tutor can break down the complexities of algebra and create structured drills for you to practice so you can improve, a CrossFit trainer will do the same for complex functional exercises.” - Dan Hollingsworth, CF-L4
Stop telling yourself you are not strong enough. Stop saying you need to get fit first. Stop making excuses. As the well-known Zig Ziglar quote states, “You do not have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” Start now.
