Then there is a new exercise programme just for you! CrossFit is a training programme that's taking the world by storm. Founded in 2000 by Greg Glassman in Santa Cruz California 1 The rise of CrossFit is amazing, and many believe that the system has revolutionised exercise. The CrossFit system mixes different types of exercise: aerobics, body weight exercises, weightlifting, running and even gymnastics. The idea of this is to offer people a varied and intense workout 2 Sessions are usually an hour long and follow a set pattern of activities: a warm-up period, a skill-development section, the high-intensity work out (called a WOD - Workout Of the Day), and some stretching. Each exercise is usually done to a set number. Because CrossFit uses so many exercises from different types of exercise programmes 3 : barbells, dumbbells, gymnastic rings, skipping ropes, pullup bars, medicine balls, mats, boxes and rowing machines. 4 One reason why it's become so successful is not only the wide variety of different activities, but also that This 'random' pattern to a workout means that no two sessions are the same, and is why so many people find CrossFit so exciting. CrossFit is also a very social activity as classes 5 It's a great way to make new friends while having lots of fun. A trainees also get to use lots of different equipment B there are now 13,000 CrossFit gyms all over the world C CrossFit coaches keep things interesting by regularly changing the exercises done during a session D which will rapidly improve fitness and stay varied enough so people are interested E professional athletes have also followed the programme F include large groups of people working together as a team Points: 5 pas​
