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 specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

I'll Have to Work it Into My Schedule ...

Schedules are always a funny thing! Why do you choose the schedule you choose? Some work out during specific times because they have better mental clarity, some work out at times when it's logical and some work out when they can get a chance. What's the best method?

CrossFit suggests a schedule of 3 Days On - 1 Day Off. I've tried this method and can say it works the great but always seemed to interfered with precious weekends spent with family. I follow a Monday-Friday schedule with rest on the weekends because it works best for me.
