What is CrossFit?
CrossFit is a fitness regimen developed by Greg Glassman over several decades.
Glassman, CrossFit’s Founder and CEO, was the first person in history to define fitness
in a meaningful, measurable way: increased work capacity across broad time and
modal domains. He then created a program specifically designed to improve fitness
and health. CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. All
CrossFit workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect
the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. These are the
core movements of life. They move the largest loads the longest distances, so they are
ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time. Intensity is
essential for results and is measurable as work divided by time—or power. The more
work you do in less time, or the higher the power output, the more intense the effort.
By employing a constantly varied approach to training, functional movements and
intensity lead to dramatic gains in fitness.
What can CrossFit do for you?
CrossFit gives you major benefits other than just helping you get stronger. Whether your fitness goal is to help you maintain your current fitness level, get just 1% fitter, lose weight, do a pull-up, or be able to lift a certain weight, CrossFit can help you reach it.
Researchers defined the high-intensity training program as strength-building conditioning. It incorporates functional movements that build stamina, strength, and speed, among several other areas.
From an exercise perspective, CrossFit takes all aspects of fitness and sports, cherry picking the best, most effective, and most applicable to everyday life, and combines them together.
