Crossfit and the advantages of being Crossfit

We have a big race coming up this weekend. Therefore, we will need to do our own bit of high-intensity exercise, that are constantly varied high-intensity functional movement. There seems to be some misconceptions about what crossFit is and what it isn't. CrossFit is incorporating everyday movements and making the ability to do them easier better stronger and faster. For instance snatch, picking up a 50 pound bag of dog food CrossFit gives you the ability to look it over your head not that you would but you could if you needed to put it on an overhead shelf. Each one of these exercises concentrate on functional movement and keeping your movements with an alignment of your natural body. Unlike runners or bicyclists or weight lifters we don't train to be good at one certain thing(please do not get me wrong, I believe all of these exercises aregreat in their own respect ans takes training to do all of them! :)). We trying to be good at all of them, and fit. I have been going for 3 weeks and I can tell a difference in my core, my legs, and my upper body strength. When doing CrossFit as with any exercise regimen it's important to eat right and have a close to nature diet as possible. I will start including some pictures of food that I prepare and some pictures from the CrossFit gym that we go to just for fun. C.
