Hi, because CrossFit runs on time, there is a great danger that the exercises will be performed uncleanly.

Basically, body exercises and basic training (squats, dead lifts, pull-ups) are strongly recommended.

The technique must be carried out cleanly and to learn this takes several months as a beginner.

Do you have any pointers (videos, articles etc) for beginners?
For barbell training, Starting Strength is a fantastic introduction.

For kettlebell training, I would sooner look to Pavel Tsatsouline's Simple & Sinister for a simple and effective program that can be run by beginners for a good long while.

My pointers to you: 1. full range of motion, 2. form follows function & 3. do exercises cleanly!
My number one pointer would be: Don't be afraid to scale either the routine or the exercises done.
