5 Reasons You Should Get Into CrossFit

If you haven’t heard of CrossFit, you might just be living under a rock. CrossFit is a fitness regime that’s been developed over several decades. It is the first fitness program to really define fitness in a measurable way: “increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains.” In other words, CrossFit is one of the best workout programs – if not the best – to optimize your fitness levels over time. While you can follow a CrossFit workout routine at home, there are many advantages to signing up for and participating in CrossFit classes:

1. It’s a Social Workout That’s Challenging
   

A CrossFit program is the exact opposite of a solo, boring treadmill-to-weight lifting regime. CrossFit workout routines are constantly varied so you’re not repeating the same workouts every other day. After you complete your first class, you’ll quickly learn how fun it is, how easy it is to make new friends and how supportive the community really is. With CrossFit coaches and the community by your side, you’ll never have to workout alone again!

2. You Can Measure Your Results
   

Beyond being able to see your body transform from flab to fab and the scale go down to where you want in no time, CrossFit programs consist of varied, high-intensity interval trainings that allow you to score your workouts and then repeat that workout during another week to re-score and measure your progress.

3. You’ll Make Progress Fast
   

There are several factors that make CrossFit truly top-tier among all the best workout programs. First, the friends you make in class and the overall community encourages you to keep coming back. Next, the workouts are intense. Varied, high-intensity interval training (or HIIT) is more efficient and effective than repeating the same low to moderate exercises over and over again. Your muscles adapt to your exercises, so in order to gain new benefits often, you must switch up your regime often.

4. CrossFit Workout of the Day
   

CrossFit provides free instructions every day with a CrossFit Workout of the Day (WOD). These WODs are easy to follow and will help you keep up your fitness levels even on those days when you just can’t make it to class.

5. CrossFit Will Change Your Life
   

There’s a reason that people can’t stop talking about it. CrossFit can do so many things for those who choose to try it out: improve your self-confidence while making you more humble, strengthen your heart while you lose body fat and gain muscle, improve your flexibility and introduce you to a whole new, supportive group of friends. You are guaranteed to feel better physically, and most Cross Fitters find they become more confident and successful in other aspects of their lives as well.
