Why do we require Foundations:
“It is imperative that someone new to CrossFit takes the first month to learn the movements, if they’re not already intimate with them, and establish consistency before increasing intensity. If you can get through the workouts for one month straight without falling apart, then we recommend that you up the intensity a little the following month. If you throw yourself at this task 100% from day one, these workouts will chew you up and swallow you whole. I promise it. Don’t be misled by the workouts’ brevity. The tougher you are the harder you’ll go down, guaranteed.” Coach Greg Glassman, Crossfit Founder and Head Coach (full interview).

Tyler Haas says that where yoga is like gymnastics, it’s good, and here.
