WHAT IS CROSSFIT TRAINING?

CrossFit is a tough workout that demands all-out physical exertion three to five days a week. The program is ideal for exercise enthusiasts who want to add intensity and diversity to their workout regimen. However, CrossFit is not recommended for those who are just starting to exercise or those who are resuming exercise after a long hiatus. You may need to work with a personal trainer to develop your mobility, stability, and movement skills before starting CrossFit.

CrossFit training workouts are typically short, lasting 20 minutes or less. The program combines strength training, speed training, explosive plyometrics, Olympic- and power-style weight lifting, gymnastics, endurance exercise, and bodyweight exercises. Movements used in CrossFit training routines include the following:

•         Sprinting
•          Rowing
•          Climbing rope
•          Jumping rope
•          Flipping tires
•          Carrying heavy objects

CrossFit routines generally consist of explosive exercises done in a circuit format. There is very little rest in between each exercise, so you get a great workout in a relatively short amount of time. The following is equipment commonly used during CrossFit training workouts:

•          Kettlebells
•          Barbells
•          Dumbbells
•          Boxes for box jumps
•          Gymnastic rings
•          Pull-up bars
•          Rumble rollers
•          Medicine balls
•          Rowing machine
