CrossFit is not just a type of workout. It offers a different take on the concept of fitness , designed to support you with community workouts and prevent plateaus thanks to varied movements. The official answer to that question: CrossFit is a branded fitness regimen consisting of functional and constantly varied movements performed at high intensity created by Greg Glassman.
But what does that mean? Functional movements are movements you perform every day — lifting objects, squatting, jumping, or stretching exercises. A CrossFit workout takes these everyday movements and leverages them for a workout by adding higher weights, faster movements, or longer distances.
The idea is to increase the overall power necessary to perform these movements. They build muscle and strength. They improve flexibility. They increase stamina. Each day, there is a prescribed workout complete with modifications for ability level. Another common element of CrossFit is the spirit of friendly competition. Injuries will usually occur as an athlete fatigues, which causes their form to also fatigue, causing the load to be shifted from the areas it is supposed to be to areas that cannot handle the stress as well.
You may hear several acronyms and words thrown around during a class, either verbally or written on a board with the workout for the day. Here are some of the most common:. Ladder: A series of exercises where you increase the number of reps by 1 each time they are performed. Zone Diet: The diet that CrossFit endorses. This diet is based on macronutrients.
PR: Personal Record. This refers to when you reach your personal best in a given exercise. For example, completing a certain number of push-ups in a minute. Hero WOD: These workouts are named after first responders who have died in the line of duty.
These workouts are especially difficult to remind CrossFitters of the sacrifices that these men and women made for their country. CrossFit accounts for this sector of the population. In these classes, they'll learn the basics and improve fitness at their own pace. Get inspired Navigation What is CrossFit? About Us Testimonials.
