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.
Frequently Asked Questions
With a MET of 9.0, crossfit burns about 630 calories per hour for a 70 kg person. Additionally, strength training increases post-exercise calorie burn through the EPOC effect.
Most people benefit from strength training 3-5 days per week. Ensure adequate rest between sessions targeting the same muscle groups, typically 48-72 hours.
Yes. crossfit builds lean muscle mass which increases your resting metabolic rate, meaning you burn more calories throughout the day. Combined with proper nutrition, it is highly effective for body composition improvement.
