We all have
done that. Woke up a day and decided it’s time. Time to bring your body into
shape and time to hit the gym or start off with some exercise. With bottles of
adrenaline pumped within, we just start jump start with our high set
motivation. But, soon afterwards, just like the adrenaline, our motivation
slumps down and we just give up, bored and unhappy. Bored of spending hours
working out, and sad to see no significant output of those hours.
We are the
millennial generation and we want results, and we want them asap. And for that,
there is cross-fit. Cross-fits a workout routine of constantly varied exercises which are of high
intensity and uses high functional movements. To put it out bluntly, it's not
sticking to a workout routine, but rather exploring into new routines everyday,
so as to increase body movements. The top benefits of crossfit workout are:

The biggest
reason why most quit exercising, due not because of the level of effort it
requires, but because of the patience it requires to show results. Crossfit
being a highly active workout type shows results pretty quick and is an
absolute best way to lose some extra mass right before a special wedding,
meeting or date.
2. No set mark
The biggest secret to working out everyday,
is regularity. But, if you don’t eat the same thing everyday, why do the same
sets of exercise everyday? Rather, spruce it up with crossfit. Crossfit uses a
combination of weigh lifting, cardio and gymnastics to give you a whole lot of variety in your workout palate.
And since everyday you do something new, there is no question of working more
than what you did yesterday. Everyday is a new game.
3. Work less, work fast
Time is a
crucial being in the lives of everybody. We literally run against time to get
everything done right. In such situations spending hours for morning walks
might not be possible for all, and moreover takes a long time to show some outcome.
Crossfit workouts are high paced and mostly of around an hour and half.
4. Gets the blood pumping
The
combination of exercises used in crossfit workouts increases blood flow in the
body, which is a great way to increase respiration. Elevating the heart rate
helps in increasing endurance level.

workouts makes one more agile, increasing their speed and stamina. With
continuous shift from variety of workouts, crossfit makes you more flexible not
just on a physical level but also on a mental level. When you are mentally
preparing your body to accept the change of exercise mode and adapt to it, it
helps you develop your your adaptive qualities in your personal life.

workouts start off with skipping meals and staying on strict diets. But
crossfit being a heavy workout type, incorporates all essential nutrition to
the crossfit
diet plan, as you need to eat enough to burn the right fat. Moreover, even
if you decide to sin and indulge into some high calorie intake, you can always
make some changes in your workout and shed it off fast, because crossfit has no
fixed routine.

choose the type of workout based on the area where we have those extra pounds
hanging. But crossfit imbibes a combination of workouts which instead of
focusing on a single area tones up the entire body into perfect shape.

we mean both balancing on your legs and balancing your life. Crossfit’s unique
method makes you shift from one exercise to another which helps in calming and
pacing the body as required. The same thing, when you do to your inner mind
will help you find peace at times of conflict.

acceptance across the globe due to its ability to show quick results and its
unique style of workout which gets the whole body worked up. But as most
workouts the biggest problem of crossfit workout is the fact that it requires a
lot of energy and dedication, which demotivates most to take it up. But once
you get a hang of it, it becomes quite fun, doing new routines everyday. Many
places have communities where people workout together to keep the process more
engrossing.
