What is Crossfit?

As i look deeper into my workouts, i begin to think of other types of workouts that aren't as common as you'd think. What are some of those workout types? One that stands out to me is Crossfit. This is an entirely new type of gym, build by passionate dudes who care about fitness. As you walk in to a Crossfit gym, you're in for a wakeup call. You'll find white boards full of personal achievements, WOD's, or workouts of the day posted on them. There were no treadmills, no mirrors, but rather weights, large boxes for jumping, kettle bells, ropes hung from the ceiling, and medicine balls. No decorations, nothing glamorous about the gym. Motivated people, hard work and dedication was what i found. The philosophy at a Crossfit gym is to incorporate high intensity, dedication, motivation, and a focused mindset. My journey here is to discover my physical limit, and strive to work at my maximum point, known as my anaerobic threshold. There are numerous benefits for training in my anaerobic threshold, such as your body being able to better deal with and handle lactic acid build up for longer periods of time, allowing me to train harder. I love this style!!!
