Unleash The Beast
Oh, so you’ve still not gone to a CrossFit session? Shame on you. OK, maybe we’ll be slightly less harsh. How about: Oh, you must go to a CrossFit class; it’s great fun! Better right? And something I truly believe. While the gym and running tracks needn’t be discarded completely, my experience with CrossFit truly changed my mind about working out. Apart from Cunningham Road, the alternate fitness space is also here.
Start Easy
Gluttons for punishment, we went to check out the Koramangala branch. Abinav Shankar, one of the co-founders of Namma CrossFit, lead me through a class. And if that’s what ‘starting out’ is, then, let me warn you: Go with a head and heart that is super strong! After a few high-knee jumps and lunges, Abinav was raring to go. I was convinced the workout was finished. Alas, it was not! Next came squats. Not one, not ten, but 100! My glutes felt great even if they felt like they were ablaze. Then, for the upper body, came some dead lifts. But what was great was, after about 20 minutes of the WOD {Workout Of The Day, keep up folks!}, I was feeling that high which Abinav so often spoke of. It’s really invigorating.
Go All Out
When you’re a noob, they will push you and motivate you to the fullest, but what is great about all the trainers is that they know when you should stop. Expect to first kick off with burpees, squats, star and split jumps, push-ups and some amount of lifting. Then comes the big boys — Supine Rope Swings, Kettle Bell Swings, Wall Ball Shots and Plank Slaps. Intimidated? Us too! But with the great camaraderie forged among the trainers and trainees {after all, you won’t be alone in this endeavour!}, it’ll soon become something you want to go to. As Abinav says, “It stops becoming a workout at some point and it’ll become a way of life!”
