My husband has been doing CrossFit for a few months now, and has been trying to get me to join him. Not knowing much about it, I was happy to review this book after receiving a copy from the author. The book is well organized and very informative. The author covers basically everything a beginner would need to know. A lot of info I've found free available was directed toward men, so it was refreshing to have something I could reference that discussed how CrossFit should work for women.Inside this book, there are many suggestions and recommendations for women wanting to get their start with CrossFit. Scott explains the history behind the fitness program as well as acronyms and how to understand the different workouts. The most common exercises are explained in detail. There are many WODs (workout of the day) available for you to get started right after reading the section that interests you most. Some of them would be WAY out of my league right now, but it's nice you can tailor most of these workouts to your own abilities.Along with extensive information about CrossFit itself, Scott James also discusses common weight training myths and truths. He dives into the benefits of weight training, a few I didn't realize myself.I recommend that book as a great beginner's guide for women that would like to get started with CrossFit.
