Welcome to The Box Sampson, Sterling, Kevin and Curt!!!! Hope you all had fun at the Atlas Stone class, I know I did.
An Effective Approach
In gyms and health clubs throughout the world the
typical workout consists of isolation movements and
extended aerobic sessions. The fitness community
from trainers to the magazines has the exercising public
believing that lateral raises, curls, leg extensions, sit-ups
and the like combined with 20-40 minute stints on the
stationary bike or treadmill are going to lead to some kind
of great fitness. Well, at CrossFit we work exclusively
with compound movements and shorter high intensity
cardiovascular sessions. We’ve replaced the lateral
raise with pushpress, the curl with pull-ups, and the leg
extension with squats. For every long distance effort
our athletes will do five or six at short distance. Why?
Because compound or functional movements and high
intensity or anaerobic cardio is radically more effective at
eliciting nearly any desired fitness result. Startlingly, this
is not a matter of opinion but solid irrefutable scientific
fact and yet the marginally effective old ways persist and
are nearly universal. Our approach is consistent with
what is practiced in elite training programs associated
with major university athletic teams and professional
sports. CrossFit endeavors to bring state-of-the-art
coaching techniques to the general public and athlete
who haven’t access to current technologies, research,
and coaching methods.
