When it comes to fitness, there are many different training systems. Just like basketball, football, and volleyball – they are all different sports, but they all belong to the category of movement. And those who like basketball say basketball is good, and those who like football say football is good.

Fitness is the same. According to different training goals, there are power, fitness, and street fitness. Each field has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the emergence of CrossFit is to better balance these advantages and disadvantages.

To better understand CrossFit, this article will introduce it through four points.

1: What is CrossFit?

CrossFit fitness training system originated in the United States and was founded by Greg Glassman in 2000. It has now become a mature fitness system. CrossFit fitness system aims to achieve specific sporting abilities through various high-intensity, fast, and explosive actions involving bodyweight and barbells, enhancing physical fitness and sports performance.

It focuses on developing 10 physical elements, including aerobic and cardiovascular function, endurance, strength, flexibility, explosiveness, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.

Simply put, it's easy to understand that those who train power fitness have big muscles and slow reactions, and poor coordination – they are 'dead muscle' (in quotation marks), anyway, they have various disadvantages. In fact, CrossFit perfectly combines various physical qualities,

It doesn't emphasize isolated muscle training, but rather emphasizes sports ability, using bodyweight or barbells for training. It combines track and field, gymnastics, and weightlifting actions in uninterrupted training. (In terms of sporting ability, it's like the functional training we often mention),Second: its main characteristics.1: It doesn't emphasize a single quality as a training goal, but emphasizes the comprehensive development of all qualities.

2: Under the same training volume, it emphasizes the time.

For example: choose 5 different actions, emphasizing the number of each action, and trying to complete them in the shortest time (so it's a huge test of physical distribution and cardiovascular function),3: It mainly focuses on composite action training.

Common actions such as push, pull, squat, and press are mainly used. This tests the coordination of muscles throughout the body,

4: It emphasizes speed and explosiveness.Because of the time limit, speed and explosiveness need to be considered,

5: Higher cardiovascular function.Its shortcomings: 1. For beginners who are just starting to get fit, the correctness of the action cannot be achieved well, so high-intensity, explosive training may cause injuries. 2. The advantages are also disadvantages. It can train cardiovascular function, but it also puts a huge burden on cardiovascular function, so it must be practiced step by step.Third: Common CrossFit training plans

Nine basic actions, classic version.1: SquatOne: Bodyweight Squat

Two: Ring SquatThree: Overhead Squat (training action in weightlifting)2: Push

One: Overhead PressTwo: Push-up

Three: Push-press (training action)3: Pull

One: Deadlift

Two: Sumo Deadlift + High Pull

Three: Medicine Ball Flip Stand

Training methods: can be selected with fixed weights and complete 20 repetitions of each action, try to complete it in the shortest time,

Regarding action selection, it's not limited to these 9 actions, and many variations can be chosen,

Fourth: Comparison of CrossFit with other fitness systems, and will it become popular?

First, there is no distinction between different fitness systems – what you want to pursue and is suitable for you is the best. CrossFit is like a segment in the fitness system. This segment is like the 100-meter and 200-meter races in track and field – they pursue different things,

Especially noted: we often hear the terms 'healthy fitness' and 'competitive fitness'. 'Healthy fitness' includes cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength and endurance, and flexibility. 'Competitive fitness' includes agility, balance, coordination, explosiveness, reaction time and speed.

Personally, I think CrossFit's training philosophy is a combination of healthy fitness and competitive fitness. It's almost a comprehensive system.

Will it become popular?

First, I believe it will become popular, but it's a niche fitness field, like street fitness. As early as 2011, pioneers like Kong Guqi allowed us to know and understand street fitness, and then gradually popularized it. ,

For CrossFit, its popularity is currently not as high as street fitness. Some professional CrossFit gyms are mainly found in first-tier cities. It's difficult to see them in second-tier cities,

Secondly, CrossFit is more suitable for people with training experience. Because for most beginners, whether it's cardiovascular function or correct fitness posture needs to be learned. CrossFit doesn't cater to this.

Furthermore, many people who train CrossFit started with muscle growth and then switched to CrossFit,

In summary, it's undeniable that CrossFit's training philosophy has filled a segment in the fitness system. Its training is like a 'whole-person warrior,' and I believe it will attract more and more people to practice in the future, but currently, it still needs to continuously improve its training system.
