First of all, I’m sorry if there was a better place to post this. I did a forum search and didn’t see a general discussion.
Secondly, I started CrossFit this week. I know it’s a controversial topic here but my wife was really interested and I’ve been looking at a better way for us to work out today rather than wandering to a gym by myself. I’m also enjoying the community feel of the box(?)/gym that we joined.
Thirdly, oh my god. I’ve been going to the gym regularly for a little while and considered myself adequately fit(not an athlete but not exactly unable to walk to walk or jog a couple blocks) but I’m feeling pain and soreness like no one else after my first week of wods. I guess it’s probably lactic acid but it’s been problematic to the point that on some mornings I need to use the wall to lower myself to the toilet during my morning routine.
Does anyone else partake? Do you have any advice for a noob? Did you try CrossFit and find that it wasn’t what it was everything you wanted it to be?
I tried walking/being moderately active on my rest days. Is it something that gets easier? I know hot showers, good hydration, and a high protein diet help but does it get easier to “recover”?
