Im gonna try out this blogging thing. The focus will be on Crossfit. I will try to post links to certain things I find on the internet that I find informational.
What is Crossfit? It's a question that gets asked daily. The way I answer changes every time, but put simply it is a strength and conditioning program. It's not just any program though. It's the best. It's results based fitness. It's functional fitness. It's a sport. It's a way to get anyone/everyone in shape. It's a scalable program. Anyone from a 5 year old to a 85 year old can do a version of it. It will improve your quality of life and make you feel better on a day to day basis.
It uses movements we are all familiar with: pushups, situps, pull-ups, and squats. It uses movements that some of us are familiar with : squats presses, deadlifts. It uses gymnastic movements, it uses Olympic movements: Snatch, Clean and Jerk, it uses things we have never heard of or are even sure what they are: burpees, HSPU, KBS.
It then takes all these movements and combines them in different rep schemes and time domains.
The workouts are fun, painful (in a good way)and competitive. You compete against others and most importanly you compete against yourself to be better every day.
If this interests you start here: http://www.crossfit.com/ Look around on the page. There is a workout of the day(WOD) posted right in the middle. That's your workout for the day.
