don't do it, unless you are strong enough to do the workouts as rx'd. even if so, don't blindly follow the mainsite as if it were the gospel. buy practical programming by Rippetoe, LEARN something rather than follow the random madness of crossfit.com - then, you can create your own routine mixing strength with minimal "crossfit style" metcon, and you might see some good results...
this is coming from a high level crossfitter, completely fed up with where CF is going. i could smoke almost every WOD as rx'd, and yes, it works, but no, its not the be all end all. i've strayed from mainsite bullshit to my own programming with much better results, and i will continue to do so. i'm currently training with a high level USAW coach and it reveals that almost everything i "learned" at CF affiliates was either wrong, useless, or a recycling of real coaches like Rippetoe and Burgeneur.
Starting Strength, then Practical Programming by Mark Rippetoe should be your reading. Get strong first, then figure out how excactly you want to "get into fitness".
