CrossFit blog: Camaraderie is key

Whilst doing a bit of research this week I came across this video. It’s a nice little watch - you should give it a view.

It got me thinking about how I might define myself, and also about how my confidence has grown since taking up CrossFit.

I know I’ve said it before, but camaraderie really is key at CrossFit, and I think that’s been a big factor in my increased confidence and self belief.

I feel more comfortable trying new things, and don’t feel stupid if I get it wrong. In the past I might have felt a little daunted by the thought of being the only girl working out in a room full of guys, which I know is wrong, particularly as that’s one of the viewpoints Sportsister works hard to abolish, but I’m not going to lie.

This week I was the only girl undertaking the WOD, and I didn’t even realise until right at the end. Perhaps my awesome new kicks from Reebok (below - aren’t they beautiful?!) gave me an extra confidence push, who knows!

What would your definition be? I’m a friend, a journalist, and an increasingly confident CrossFitter. Your turn - tweet us up @Sportsister @ReebokUK.
