What do you hope to accomplish when you start a new exercise routine? Many of us aim to become stronger, lose weight, or improve our overall health. What if there was a way to accomplish those goals in six weeks of training? That’s what CrossFit does when properly performed. CrossFit is a form of high-intensity interval training that combines elements of weightlifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning. It was designed in 2000 to help athletes improve their cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, coordination, and agility. Since then, many gyms have become fully dedicated to CrossFit. Walking into a CrossFit gym or class for the first time can be intimidating. For years, the thought was that CrossFit was intended for bodybuilders and athletes only, but anyone can benefit if they make a dedicated effort. When you initially begin CrossFit, the best results occur through two or three exercises per week. If you’re already in great shape, you can THE POWER OF CROSSFIT GET IN BETTER SHAPE WITHIN 6 WEEKS
benefit by increasing your frequency, as long as you maintain a rest day between each workout day. If you fail to leave yourself enough recovery time, you’ll overwork your body and become susceptible to injuries. It doesn’t take long to see results once you start a CrossFit program. Many CrossFit classes include some form of weightlifting and resistance training, which will help you build muscle and grow stronger. Since these exercises are often high-intensity, you’ll burn even more calories than you would during a standard workout. Many of the activities will increase your heart rate, which improves cardiovascular health. CrossFit has risks, but you can have a safe workout by taking proper precautions. Don’t push yourself too hard; stop the activity if you notice pain.
