CrossFit

CrossFit is a sport.  It is a lifestyle.  It is a way of life.

CrossFit is not a workout you do at the gym.  You may be familiar with CrossFit-style workouts, but to be a true CrosssFitter, you must live and breath the philosophy.

“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.”   ~Greg Glassman

CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. It is not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize cardio & respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy.

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical teams, firefighters, military units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

The CrossFit program was developed to enhance an individual’s competency at all physical tasks. Athletes are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse and randomized physical challenges.

CrossFit incorporates cardio conditioning, body-controlled gymnastics and weightlifting to forge the world’s fittest men and women. This approach is consistent with what is practiced in elite training programs associated at major university athletic teams and professional sports. CrossFit brings state-of-the-art coaching techniques to the general public and athlete.

Nutrition plays a critical role in your fitness. Proper nutrition can amplify or diminish the effect of your training efforts.
