Crossfit: Give It a Try

 

“Constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” That is one way to describe one of the most popular workouts, Crossfit Training. It was founded by Greg Glassman in 2000, and only had 13 gyms in 2005 and now there are over 10,000 Crossfit gyms across the nation. Crossfit is a program that pushes people to be the best that they can be. Crossfit is never the same workout. It does not allow your body to adapt to the same thing, which brings the best results. Crossfit focuses on the right technique and form but still pushes towards the high intensity aspect. The goal of Crossfit is to train people to become stronger and faster, but without the same old boring workouts every day. Functional movements are very important to Crossfit, these movement used in Crossfit are safe and normal everyday life moves. It is safe for any age, gender and level of fitness to complete these workouts.
