The crossfit workout is a burgeoning new workout program designed to provide users with a wide spectrum of fitness capabilities. Crossfit is the brian child of Greg Glassman, an ex-gymnast. The overarching theme of crossfit aims to achieve a sort of jack-of-all-trades approach to fitness and performance.

The way the crossfit program works is to produce an exercise program for the day, which crossfit trainee's then go out and accomplish. These workouts are called "workouts of the day" of W.O.D.s. The program doesn't focus upon diet or nutrision, solely upon the exercise portion of one's fitness. To find the W.O.D. you go to the crossfit website.

As stated in testosterone muscle's coverage of crossfit, the primary argument against crossfit is the method of attaining a liscence to coach it. In which you merely pay $1000 for a class 1 liscence, $500 for a class 2, and $250 for a subsequent liscence level. In paying for the liscence you also recieve weekend classes for the liscence level you hope to attain. Problematically, there is no test at the end of the program (6).

For many people crossfit is a good way to enhance their fitness. There is also the idea that in crossfit, the W.O.D.s are scaleable, meaning they are applicable to anyone of any fitness level. The workouts scale by speed of exercise, length of breaks, and weights used. Look into it if the program interests you, however, be careful, as some of the W.O.D.s are challengeing for the newcomer.
