I have been a trainer for 13+ years and have stayed current with certs and continuing education. I specialize in high level functional fitness. I found a program that talked my language, a language I have had a hard time communicating to the public.
Crossfit specializes in high level functional fitness. When I say high level I mean intensity is cranked way up, technique is taught and expected at a high level, focus is high, goals can be measured and practice is a must.
They use a term called scalable, which in turn means anybody can do the workouts if you scale them down to the level the athletes are participating at. In other words program and teach at the level of the athlete.
I can see how Crossfit could get a bad rap, from the outside it looks like the trainers are pushing only crazy, ridiculously intense workouts to all. I found this not to be true. They teach form to the best of their ability and then require that form be executed as perfect as possible before intensity is brought into the workout.
Once the basics are mastered and required skills are in place the athlete better watch out because intensity is the name of the game.
Is Crossfit the real deal? I say yes. A good trainer is a must, not just some one who can yell at you and make you puke.....this may happen but that should be a side benefit of your workout not the main focus.
As I continue my Crossfit Journey I will keep you posted. I look forward to trying to incorporate this style of workout with many of my clients and camps.
If you want to see the what it is all about go to http://www.crossfit.com/ go deeper than just looking at the pictures and the videos, read a little or even better read allot. Get educated on what is being taught there is more to it than one might be led to believe.
Investigate, you may learn something. I did!!!
If you want to try a crossfit workout call me I have a location in Coppell and in Lewisville, I would to introduce you to a new yet old way to get fit....
