CrossFit: The Pros and Cons of Working Out by Yourself

CrossFit: The Pros and Cons of Working Out by Yourself

Since I now work full time, I’ve been working out a lot by myself. There are pros and cons to this.

Pros to Working out Alone:

• Can workout on my schedule
• Don’t have to wait on others
• Under no pressure to finish within a certain time
• Can do my moves however I want (e.g. strict versus kipping)
• Do my own programming
• Substitute moves or entire workouts to accommodate injury
• Focus on what I need to focus on
• Play my music (Hey! It’s the little things!)

Cons to Working Out Alone:

• No push from others to go your hardest
• Can be boring at times
• At times it’s harder to get the motivation to even workout
• Workout is not quite so mindless
• Loss of community
