Determination

" The only way to find the limits of the possible
is by going beyond them to the impossible."
--Arthur C. Clarke

What is the best fitness level to have when starting Cross fit? I'm really whipping myself into shape based on the stories I've read on the main site. Definitely looks like boot camp!

The best fitness level to have when starting CrossFit is whatever fitness level you have now. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be fitter. We can and do accommodate all levels, from Ultimate Fighters to ultimate couch potatoes. Really. Come on in.

I've read alot about how Crossfit likes to incorporate hand-stand pushups. I personally don't care for such an exercise. Is it possible to opt out of an exercise I don't want to do?

Master the fundamentals.

Then, think about working into the more advanced movements of gymnastics.

The gateway movements for HSPU's start on the floor with pushups.

Knowledge is king, a few links for you to digest.
