About CrossFit

CrossFit is a resistance training method that builds muscular strength and endurance. With a MET value of 9.0, it provides moderate calorie burn during the session, plus increased metabolism for hours afterward through excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).

Benefits

  • Increases muscle mass and metabolic rate
  • Strengthens bones and connective tissue
  • Improves functional strength for daily activities
  • Enhances body composition and physique

Programming Tips

Train each major muscle group 2-3 times per week. Use progressive overload by gradually increasing weight, reps, or sets over time. Allow 48 hours between training the same muscle group for recovery.

Safety

Learn proper form before adding heavy weight. Use a spotter for exercises like bench press and squats. Warm up with lighter weights before working sets.
