Ask a friend who does CrossFit why you should try it, you will probably be held captive for an hour while they spit out acronyms about awesome WODs, partner workouts, and why they really need a better Fran time.
All jokes aside, speaking with a Crossfitter about crossfit can be a bit intimidating or possibly confusing. For now, forget all you have heard about CrossFit and let us give you 5 Reasons why you should give it a try.
1. RESULTS
First, CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program designed to make you fitter across all aspects of fitness. CrossFit combines cardio endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy.
2. HAVE FUN
No really, it is fun! A lot of people refer to Crossfit as 'recess for adults'. Who doesn't want or NEED daily recess?!
3. AWESOME COMMUNITY
Aside from having fun work out you will also meet some passionate, exciting, and interesting people. It's common to do a Saturday workout and then hang around the gym, plan a night out, or get a team together for the next obstacle race. You will do more than sweat and exchange recipes with these people, you will develop new and fun friendships.
4. HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Being around all of these high energy people makes it hard to resist giving in to some new life style habits. Before you know it you will be trading your prepackaged snacks for something whole and real.You will develop a deep appreciation for having full rage of motion in all of your joints and look forward to 'mobility' days. Rather than meet your friends for lunch/drinks/ice cream, you'll meet at the gym and THEN head out for drinks.
5. LOOK GOOD IN A BATHING SUIT!
After all, isnt this what we all aim for? A pretty good side effect of Crossfit.
