CrossFit training new in thing for fitness fanatics

Melbourne, August 30 (ANI): A new type of training known as CrossFit is becoming popular among people who want variety, results and a quicker workout.

CrossFit is a vigorous workout that combines weight training, aerobics and gymnastics all in one so that you become fit in every area of your game - not just one.

The goal is to be functionally fit - push every aspect of your body to the max so that you're healthy, strong and in shape.

Not just so you can lift a tonne of weight or run a minute mile, but so you're fit to do anything that life throws at you.

A growing number of CrossFitters can be seen working out in Reebok's snazzy line of neon Nano CrossFit shoes.

If the traditional workout is a light cup of coffee that slowly wakes you up, CrossFit is a shot of five-hour energy. It's a fast-paced, intense workout that can take less than 15 minutes a day because that quarter of an hour is going to be condensed, non-stop movement.

It may only be three or four routines, a jog and squats, but the idea is that you keep doing each one over and over through the set time.

The key to CrossFit is the intensity but hidden in that fact is that you're inherently pushing yourself to do the most you can through each exercise in the workout. (ANI)
