Hi
Just a short letter about crossfit
Does anyone do crossfit on this site it seem to me that is going to be the
up coming sport of the future? I just started to do it at home i follow the
(wod- workout of the day) web site
http://www.crossfit.com and http://crossfitoneworld.com

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

We are a "minimalist program" and this is reflected by the functionality and limited number of our exercises and the simplicity of the equipment we use compared to most commercial gyms. An Olympic weight set and a place to do pull-ups and dips is essential to doing CrossFit. Gymnastics rings and parallettes, plyometrics boxes, a Dynamax medicine ball, dumbbells, kettlebells, climbing rope, Concept II Rower, and a glute-ham

One another thing have you tryed the FISH GAME on the concept 2 rower it great fun just got my higest score 2020 that took two week to get that score
If you haven't tried the Fish Game yet, you need to give it a shot. It's a blast and as addicting as crack.

actually we have this here in Reno. I'm going to go one of these days

I have been following Crossfit for a few months now, as have been many of my coworkers, and it is great. I have definitly lost fat, gained muscle and feel stronger. I highly recommend it above all other types of fitness. I would suggest that those who are obese or in poor health consult with their doctor before trying Crossfit as it is VERY demanding, physically.

I think that it's a great program. I don't however blindly believe sales propoganda. It's a good all round fitness program which will turn out people who have a good all round fitness.

I'm not so convinced it's the best way for someone who has more specific aims. My biggest problem with it is the completely random nature. I prefer something that has a progression that can be followed.

If I want a break to try something new, something that will be a good maintenance then I'd be interested to try it.

Yeah, I just heard about this today. I'm curious to see what anyone has to say.

a lot of the firefighters at my gym do it, and they're in great shape..but they were in great shape before they did it too.

I don't know if I'd call it a sport, though...

great for functional strength apparently, not as effective if you want big arms and big chest

Not at all true. Size comes from diet, not workout. If you eat for size and do Crossfit, you'll get size. And strength. And endurance. Basically, you'll be Batman.

I started Crossfitting a couple weeks ago, joined my local Crossfit affiliate in Hollywood and everything. I can honestly say, I've never had as much fun having my ass kicked. The workouts are super intense and fun as hell.

I integrate my own versions of CrossFit-style workouts into my program about once a week. The change definitely initiated muscle growth and fat loss, and my endurance has significantly increased as well.

The workouts are definitely some of the most challenging I do which is why I limit how much I do them.

I've been a member of the CrossfitWilmington box for about 4 months now. Seeing great results as well! Loosing serious body fat and improving every workout in my WOD times, reps and weights.
Def not for the casual gym-goer.

Been officially doing crossfit training since June. Used to do it as a part of my cardio but it is definitely not the same as doing it at a crossfit gym. The WOD's are amazingly intense. The trainer at my gym is supremely talented and comes up with crazy daily WOD's. I train 5 days a week and I have to say, I have gained a lot of strength in my 4 weeks training than I did doing my other gym stuff for over a year.
