CrossFit On Track Arrives to Help Get Olathe Into Shape
Olaths, KS (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- CrossFit, an elite training program originally designed to meet the unpredictable and extreme demands of military and rescue personnel, incorporates Olympic lifting, gymnastics, endurance training, sports performance and power lifting. It’s practiced by the fittest people in the world, and now residents of Olathe can join in the fun.
CrossFit is also a program designed to help anyone wanting to get in better shape. It can rehabilitate people with functional impairment, whether they’re a former athlete who has taken a few years off or regular folk who is just starting the journey toward getting fit. For as many people who imagine recreating themselves into the CrossFit athletes they see on TV, there are 10 times as many people who are just trying to get healthy and improve their quality of life. This program is the starting point for both those groups. It will change your life.
CrossFit is based on three main principles. The first is functional movements. CrossFit ditches traditional machines because they fail to train you for the real world. In real life, people are thrown into unpredictable situations where their body must stabilize and move multiple joints at once. CrossFit training focuses on movements that will prepare you best for those situations.
The second principle is constant variety. CrossFit employs the best elements of multiple training programs so that trainees can do anything and everything they've ever wanted to try. While traditional gym work and exercise programs focus on a set of similar and monotonous lifts and programs, CrossFit provides a setting that always keeps the trainee guessing so he or she is never bored and always excited about the next workout.
The final principle is high intensity. CrossFit will push trainees to the limit of what they can do with every workout. It's always relative to experience and ability but workouts aim to push and make the trainee as good as he or she can be, faster than they imagined.
CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of 10 recognized fitness domains. They are cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. The CrossFit Program was developed to enhance an individual’s competency at all physical tasks. Athletes are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse and randomized physical challenges. This fitness is demanded of military and police personnel, firefighters and many sports requiring total or complete physical prowess.
