Crossfit

 

CrossFit is a high-intensity workout combined with function. These movements build strength and endurance, but they have practical applications within your everyday life. People often get into working out just to improve their appearance, but workouts are more than just repetitive gym movements.

As we age, our ability to support ourselves through activities needed in everyday life — think getting off the floor from a sitting position or carrying something from one place to another — decreases without some form of support. You might be lifting a tire in a CrossFit exercise, but the real purpose is to easily lift your child or carry in all the grocery bags to avoid the dreaded second trip.

For some people, this is a welcome change from long-form workouts. Many CrossFit workout sections last for just ten minutes, providing the variety you need to keep the workout exciting.
