What is Crossfit?

Crossfit is an exercise methodology consisting of constantly varied, functional movements performed at high intensity with it's ultimate goal being the production of power. Crossfit is the most effective fitness program. No matter what your age or ability level, you will benefit. Not only will you see physical changes, you will acquire an increased mental toughness by completing these workouts consistently. You will set and achieve goals you never imagined....Yes, you can do 30 pullups straight!

Crossfit is demanding. Crossfit is mean. Crossfit does not apologize when you are lying on your back staring at the ceiling after a WOD.

If you have any desire to improve your physical body, whether it be for basic health or for elite athletic performance, Crossfit delivers.

How effective is it?

Good question. How hard are you willing to push yourself? How much pain can you handle? It's just like the line from Remember the Titans..."What is fatigue?......Army clothes......".

Bottom line: 20-30 minutes of a crossfit workout is all you can handle. It's more effective than a 1 hour treadmill ride...and more painful than maxing out on squats.

You have to be self-motivated. It shouldn't take some oiled up "fitness personality" yelling at you through a Garth Brooks-style headset to make you finish the workout. You have to find it in your gut and keep pushing on, focus on finishing with a faster time than before and immediately start looking forward to what the white board will curse you with tomorrow.
