Crossfit for athletes

Is Crossfit the most addictive and effective fitness training method in the world?  Probably.  Check out their website here: www.crossfit.com But what is it? CrossFit is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program that combines weightlifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning. It was created in 2000 by Greg Glassman and is now one of the most popular fitness trends in the world. 

CrossFit workouts are typically short and intense, lasting anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes. They are designed to challenge your entire body and improve your overall fitness. There are many benefits to CrossFit, including improved cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance; weight loss; increased muscle mass; improved flexibility and range of motion; reduced risk of injury by improving your strength, flexibility, and coordination; mental toughness; and an enhanced sense of community.  This last reason is the secret sauce: CrossFit is a great way to meet new people and make friends. Those friends will keep you motivated to keep coming back and push yourself. Nothing like a little peer pressure to get the juices flowing. 

So, find a good gym, they are everywhere. Listen to your body, use proper form, warm up and cool down each time. If you are looking for a fun, social, challenging and rewarding workout, CrossFit may be a great option for you as an athlete.
