Who is CrossFit for?

CrossFit is for anyone with the determination and commitment to learning skills that will improve their fitness dramatically. All the workouts can be scaled to any fitness level. The fundemental movements do not change just reps, weight and time, so it is accessible to everybody!

The CrossFit Method

Practice and train all major lifts; deadlift, squats, clean and jerk, and snatch. Master the gymnastic movements; pull ups, dips, push ups, sit ups, handstands. Row, run, bike and swim. Now mix them up into as many different combinations as you can imagine and do them at high intensity for short durations. Avoid routine! Learn and play new sports. - Founder of CrossFit, Greg Glassman.

Nutrition

Eat meat and fish, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starchy carbohydrate and no sugar - Greg Glassman, Founder of CrossFit. For further information look at the Zone Diet.

On thursday we did a sort of Bear complex

We started with a 600m run

Then it was 5 SDHP 5 Front Squats 5 Push Press 5 Back Squats 5 Push press x 5

Ending with a 600m run

We have some work still to do on technique but made sure to keep the weight light for thoughs who are still a little unsure of the movements. Good work, well done.
