CrossFit - Cutting edge fitness



The CrossFit training program is a core strength and conditioning program that optimizes performance in ten physical skills: cardio-respiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, power, stamina, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy.

CrossFit helps improve each of these skills by combining elements of weightlifting, gymnastic exercises and metabolic conditioning into an interval training system of compound movements and shorter, high intensity cardiovascular sessions.

CrossFit exercise program helps minimize risks like cardiovascular disease, lower back disorders and obesity, while increasing fatigue tolerance, stress tolerance, strength, flexibility and aerobic capacity.

CrossFit's approach is consistent with what is practiced in elite training programs associated with collegiate athletic and professional sports teams.

In order to become a strong and fast runner, you should incorporate cross training into your weekly workouts. Visit www.crossfit.com for more information, daily workouts, videos, and exercise demos.

CrossFit workouts will also be posted on this blog.
