An Introduction To Crossfit Bayonne NJ

By Coleen Torres


Fitness is not simply a matter of more muscle. While a lot of people go to fitness classes in order to look better there is the added advantage of improved life expectancy, reduced risk of heart disease, breathing problems and reduced stress. One effective way to get fitter is by joining a crossfit Bayonne NJ class.

As the name suggests crossfit involves a range of exercises to provide a balanced fitness regime. In much the same way as a diet should be varied and cover a wide range of nutrition the theory behind the program is that exercise should cover as wide an array of needs as possible. Therefore you do not focus on one part of the body or one goal but instead take a broader approach.

However this is not just a program that is popular in gyms. Crossfit is also currently used by police academies, martial artists and professional athletes around the world. In all of these instances an all round level of fitness is not only desirable but often vital. It can be the difference between winning and losing for an athlete but in the case of a police officer it could be the difference in a life or death situation.

Indeed a lot of the development of the program was derived from observing athletes. Inevitably a gymnast will be more flexible while a weight lifter will be able to use more power. Over time it was found that focusing on specific areas in order to maximise their physical capabilities was unsustainable.

This is why crossfit looks on varying the focus. The program will come with a WOD or workout of the day. The idea is that each day there are exercises designed for specific purposes. It is also something that can be done in conjunction with other sport and exercises provided that rest periods are properly scheduled in between.

Another advantage is that the exercise programs can be scaled and adapted to suit a range of needs. Therefore someone who has come to the gym for the first time can get the same level of benefit as someone who is training for a marathon or to become a cage fighter. While the exercises are the same the difference is the amount of weights used or the amount of repetitions.

There are numerous gyms and local classes that will provide crossfit programs. The best way to find them is to check online. This will allow you to see what gyms in your local area provide the class and how conveniently they are located near you in the local vicinity.

As with any service it is important to do your research and check the quality of the gym or class you are going to. Ideally you want someone who is experienced and has been teaching classes for a number of years. Furthermore they should be willing to talk with you about how they can specifically benefit you and how the crossfit program can be adjusted to suit your needs. Use your regular search engine for more information about programs in your local area.
