One of the most common fears (or complaints) I've heard about CrossFit goes something like "Do we really have to do burpees? Everybody is giving us weird looks...". Honestly, I think that this is one of my favorite aspects of CrossFitting. I love getting the awkward glances from other gymgoers. That's half the reason I even work out in the first place!
It's about time that we face the cold, hard truth: you aren't supposed to look cool while you're working out. Fitness is a hot, sweaty, down 'n dirty, loud, painful, messy pursuit. If you want to watch yourself look cool in the mirror while doing 4 sets of 10 bicep curls, you're kind of missing the point. Getting fit sucks. You're gonna look stupid from time to time. Make peace with those ideas, find a workout buddy who doesn't mind looking foolish with you, and go do 100 burpees for time.
