What is Crossfit?

Crossfit goal is to keep varied movements within their workouts. We call this constantly variation meaning the workouts will never be the same and you will always keep your body guessing. We run each workout with functional movements,which means, the moves need to be essential and be compatible with independent living. This means that each movement and workout will help with your everyday lives. So, this means we do not do the conventional gym workout like bicep curls, leg extensions or leg curls. These only concentrate on one muscle group and does not enhance your ability to be a better athlete and overall a better physical specimen. With crossfit comes HIGH INTENSITY!!! The workouts will be brutal and exhausting, but after each workout you will feel better and have a better sense of what fitness really should be about. ALL GOOD THINGS FROM FITNESS COMES FROM INTENSITY!!!

Crossfit is a great community and drives you to be a better person.

Nutrition- These days the low fatm high carb diet is the most popular diet, however, under Crossfit this approach is look upon as inefficient and useless. We try to show people that a balance diet involving a balance diet of protein, carbs, and fat is the way to appropriate health and overall better physical performance.

 Crossfit follows the “ZONE” diet, which is based on balancing your fat, protein, and carb intake

Fat- 40%

Protein-30%

Carbs- 30%

Nutrition can go on and on, so I will write more about it in time and also will talk about it better in person

Google- The Zone Diet

Another diet that is also very healthy and shows to increase physical performance is called the Paleo Diet-

This based on eating like our ancestors ate during the Paleolithic Period or the Caveman Period. Back then people were healthy and more muscular due to their diet. During these diets you must stay away from processed foods and also foods high in bad fat such as poly saturated fat and so on. Also grains, dairy, and such must be avoided to stay within this strict regiment. However, we mus remember that we are human and will make faults. So, within these diets we can have cheat days. A cheat day consists of taking one day out of the week and consuming your favorite meals that do not follow the zone or paleo diet. However, the other days you must a strict regiment. Cheat days also can be seen as you do not have to do it every week. It is a concept were if you are really lagging and getting sick of your diet, then take a day and eat what you want. For example, if you eat 35 meals a week, you are allowed to have 5 cheat  meals throughout the week. If you follow a diet around 90% of efficiency, then you will still see results.

To find more information on these diets look up the Paleo Diet on google. More will be talked on nutrition, since it is a cornerstone of Crossfit.
