WHAT IS CROSSFIT?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specialising. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

WOD INSTRUCTIONS

These WODs (Workout Of the Day) are provided as an example of the CrossFit model. If you choose to follow these workouts please do so with commonsense.

The CrossFit warm-up
For those wondering how to warm-up for these workouts, try the 'official' CrossFit warm-up.

3 rounds of 10-15 reps of:
Samson Stretch (do the Samson Stretch once each round for 15-30 seconds)
Overhead Squat with broomstick
Sit-up
Back-extension
Pull-up
Dip
Note that for a workout that's dip or pullup-centric, you might want to do something else in the warmup.

Find a nice steep hill or set your treadmill incline to max. Grab a pair of dumbbells (min 5kg each) or something or similar weight. Now start walking whilst holding the weight. Continue for 1km.

Next jump on the rower for 3 minutes (aim for over 500m) or run if you're outside.

Repeat.

Instructions
In this blog a workout for each day will be posted. These will be similar to those posted on www.crossfit.com.

You will be required to warm-up and cool-down before and after each workout, this part of your workout is left up to you. If you want to use the standard CrossFit warm-up click here. If you are unfamiliar with any of the workouts either refer to the CrossFit exercise guide or send us an email.

We will not post rest days as we are creating this resource primarily for our clients who wish to supplement their personal training and CrossFit group sessions. Workouts will be varied but it is up to you to fit them in with any training that you already participate in. Do not overtrain. We recommend 3 days on, 1 day off.

Oh yeah, WOD = Workout of (the) day
