Constantly varied and always high intensity!
Here at CrossFit Magnitude, as well as any other CrossFit box, we like to keep things constantly varied. This means that you should not dwell on the workout performed today hoping you may see it again sometime soon, rather focus on what lays ahead tomorrow. Also, keep in mind we like to do things hard and fast, and keep it short and sweet. As Coach Glassman said “At CrossFit intensities it becomes debilitating – as some of you noticed today – We use it sparingly and go all out! This is ‘combat’ or ‘getting out of the burning building’ fitness”. Long gone is the days of long duration, steady state cardio as a means to achieving fitness. Coach G also said ” An athlete diminished by excessive aerobic training is slow and weak. At CrossFit we call that state, ‘spun down’.” Training at low levels of intensity for long periods only does one thing – it decreases your anaerobic power” – your strength, speed and power most importantly. Here at CrossFit, we strive each and every day to improve upon these things. “If some days seem too easy that is because workouts either before or coming are tortuous and the backing off is warranted. We are feeding you a regimen that represents the ultimate challenge to the world’s best athletes” More great words from Coach! Put your best foot forward each and every day and the results will be at the very least, excessively rewarding!
Tonight’s class was a great example of keeping it INTENSE!
