Many of you have seen the positive effects of doing CrossFit a couple times a week. Recently it has come back to our attention that many of you are still clinging on to your traditional fitness programs on your CrossFit off days. We want to encourage you to take a closer look at what your doing, why you do it, and if its good actually for you. Many of us, myself included, came to CrossFit quite skeptical if this program can be beneficial. Its so different from our traditional view of exercise. As we start to see the benefit we start to accept the program. Now it is time to let go of your old views on what exercise is and which individuals are fit. We found the following video to simply and cleverly explain the CrossFit method of training vs. traditional fitness training. You only have so many hours a week to exercise, so do the thing that will get you the most fit. When we were at the qualifiers last weekend it was obvious that the competitors all possessed superior fitness abilities. None of them do "cardio" and I didn't see a single static stretch all weekend. They have seen what happens when you dedicate your time and efforts to constantly varied functional movements at high intensity. Let go of your traditional regimen all together and see what full dedication to CrossFit can do for you.
