It steps up where other workouts fail, and, after every rep is said and done, is way more than a workout. Running will increase your endurance. Weightlifting will strengthen you up. Cycling will turn your legs into rock-hard tree trunks.
He notes that CrossFit methodology is based on the belief that routine is the enemy. Hence why you can come into a CrossFit gym every day for months on end without completing the same workout twice.
Most CrossFit facilities design workouts based on 25 to 30 movements, constantly changing up their variations, loads used, duration, and how they are grouped with other exercises, says exercise physiologist Dan Casey, C. Angie, for instance, involves completing pullups, pushups, situps, and squats for time.
Rather than being all about endurance or all about strong, explosive movements, CrossFit taps both your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems, Casey says. For instance, think about wall balls squats with a medicine ball toss : If you try to complete as many of them as you can in a given amount of time, you are really going to get your heart pumping and your aerobic system working.
Meanwhile, if you perform the same movement, but ignore time and just complete as many as you can in a slow and steady row, your whole body is going to shake.
Workout brands rarely take a stance on eating programs, but CrossFit and the Paleo diet love to mingle. The CrossFit website recommends people follow a Paleo diet rich in lean meats, healthy fats, and produce, and excluding dairy, legumes, and grains.
