What Is CrossFit?
CrossFit is a very intense strength and conditioning program developed originally for professional athletes and military. It combines weight training, cardio, and sometimes gymnastics. As mentioned, this type of conditioning program is used by soldiers in the military, police academies, martial artists, as well as other elite professional athletes.
But the program is not just limited to people who are already in great shape. The exercises can be adjusted for your current level of fitness. However, due to the intensity of the routines, it provides greater risks of injuries if not done correctly. That’s why in most cases, it is recommended especially for beginners to perform this workout under a professional trainer. Once you get properly oriented to the program, then you can perform the exercises even at home.
CrossFit Is Fun and Like No Other
Do you normally hop on a treadmill or elliptical machine for 30 or more mundane minutes? Do you stick to typical weight training protocols (do a set, rest for a minute or two, do a set, rest)?
Well get ready, because CrossFit will be a shock to your system.
There are two things that can make a person lose his interest and motivation in his training, they are boredom and lack of intensity. These two can kill your drive towards achieving your fitness goals. If you have ever experienced either of these two result killers, then I guess this is high time for you to give this routine a try.
CrossFit workouts are designed to train your muscular and cardiovascular systems at the same time. You will do a whole lot of exercise in one routine. You will do various movements and exercises like sprinting, jumping rope, carrying heavy objects, rowing, and climbing rope. Equipment such as dumbbells, barbells, kettle bells, medicine balls are also used during the exercise. And you will not only use these equipment to perform the workout but also your own body weight as well.
What makes CrossFit really fun and exciting is that each workout uses a mix of different movements and pieces of equipment to train your body from top to bottom. Yes you may be doing three or four routines in a given workout, but you will repeat the routines for the duration of the workout. So, if your determined to really work hard on your fitness and be able to reach that goal without getting bored or frustrated, you should really really try this amazing workout now.
