FAQ > Is CrossFit For Me? > The workouts look really difficult. Can I do it?

Search the FAQ for entries containing:

Yes. All the workouts can be modified to fit your level of fitness.

Let's take "Angie" for example:
100 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats
For time

There's very few individuals who can do it on their very first day (or first few months).

So it can become:
50 Jumping Pull-ups
50 Push-ups
50 Sit-ups
50 Squats
For time

Still too hard and you can't jump because you have knee pain? Let's scale it even more:
25 Ring Rows
25 Incline Push-ups
25 Sit-ups
25 Squats (limited range of motion)
For time.

The goal is to improve fitness and quality of life. Everyone gets a workout that fits their needs/abilities. Simple and beautiful!
