CrossFit Prescription: Constantly Varied, High Intensity, Functional Movements
*Constantly Varied: In CrossFit we use the abbreviation "WOD" for workout of the day. Everyday our workouts change, constantly varying movements. We incorporate Gymnastics, Weight Lifting and Metabolic Conditioning in a sports like atmosphere. CrossFit has tested it's methods on the overweight, pathological, and elderly and found that these special populations met the same success as our most elite athletes. Our programs work for everyone and can be modified for beginners.
*High-Intensity: We encourage our athletes and clients to continuously compete against themselves. We strive to meet and beat personal goals daily. Whether it's a 1 rep max lift or a time to beat for a WOD, we push ourselves and encourage each other in a positive uplifting environment!
*Functional Movements: Functional movements are performed in a wave of contractions from core to extremity and are considered compound movements or multi joint movements. These functional movements activate numerous muscle fibers within multiple muscles, increasing the body's hormonal response (testosterone and human growth hormone). Exercise regimens that produce high neuroendocrine response (hormonal response) increases bone density, muscle mass, and body composition results!
