Common Questions

How many times per week should a beginner work out at home?

Start with 3 days per week with rest days between sessions (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri). This frequency allows recovery while building the habit. After 4–6 weeks, add a 4th session if recovery allows.

What is the best first WOD for a complete beginner?

A 10-minute AMRAP of 5 push-ups (from knees if needed), 10 air squats, and 15 jumping jacks. It's simple enough to do correctly immediately, hard enough to feel it, and short enough to not be overwhelming.

Is it safe to start WODs with no fitness background?

Yes, when scaled appropriately. The key is starting light and slow — movement quality before intensity. The generator's Beginner scaling mode handles this automatically. Listen to your body; some soreness is normal, sharp pain is not.

How long until a beginner sees results from WODs at home?

Most beginners notice improved energy and slightly easier workouts within 2–3 weeks. Visible fitness changes (leaner body, increased endurance) typically become apparent at 6–8 weeks of consistent training.
