A form of high intensity interval training, CrossFit is a strength and
conditioning workout that is made up of functional movement performed at
a high intensity level. These movements are actions that you perform in
your day-to-day life, like squatting, pulling, pushing etc. Many
workouts feature variations of squats, push-ups, and weight lifting that
last for predetermined amounts of time to help build muscles. This
varies from a traditional workout that may tell you how many reps to do
over any period of time. CrossFit Journal notes that the workouts are so
effective because of their emphasis on the elements of load, distance
and speed, which help participants develop high levels of power. The
workout may utilize different equipment to accomplish this, including
kettle bells, rowers and bikes, medicine balls, speed ropes, rings and
plyo boxes.
