What is CrossFit?
Researchers defined the high-intensity training program as
strength-building conditioning. It incorporates functional
movements that build stamina, strength, and speed, among several other
areas."From an exercise perspective, CrossFit takes all aspects of
fitness and sports, cherry-picking the best, most effective, and most
applicable to everyday life, and combines them together," Richard
Froning Jr., a professional CrossFit athlete, told Health.
Who is it for?
People of any gender and age or at any stage can do CrossFit.
"We have former football players working out with people in their 70s
and 80s and new moms" Dave Lipson, CrossFit Level Four Trainer and
founder of an educational fitness platform called ThundrBro, told
Health. CrossFit sessions also appeal to all different types of people.
That is because while every WOD has suggested weights and movements,
most CrossFit boxes promote a practice called scaling."Scaling allows
anyone to complete the same workout simply by altering the weights and
movements based on the athlete's ability in order to produce the same
level of intensity"
