Consistency

One of the more common questions I get from beginners is: “How often do you need to train CrossFit to see results?”  It’s a great question.  Like all great questions, it has many answers.

If you read the party line (main site schedule), you’ll see they recommend doing three days on followed by one day off.  The really cool part of this schedule is that your rest days keep rotating.  One week you’ll get Sunday and Thursday off, the next week Monday and Friday… and so on.  The difficult part is that your rest days keep changing and most folks live by a schedule that is dictated by their work, school and or family schedule which makes the 3 on 1 off difficult.

If you continue to dig into the main site, you’ll see that there is sort of a vague nod to the fact that people who do CrossFit sometimes doother stuffbesides CrossFit and they will have to adjust the 3 on 1 off schedule.  How much?  The answer is left up to the reader to decide.

So that’s the mainsite’s take.  My opinion is that if you are just starting and are deconditioned (that’s polite talk for out of shape), you start with 2 workouts a week.  After two weeks, bump up to three.  Stick with that for a month and by then you’ll start being able to figure out what is a healthy dose is for you.  Whatever amount you decide on, the most important part of the equation is consistency.  Pick your days and show up.  In the long run, it is consistency that will deliver results.
