June 12, 2021 Off By Oliver Lester

CrossFit was developed as a universal technique capable of increasing the overall functionality of the body in the shortest possible time. Due to its simplicity, accessibility and real effectiveness, this functional training has earned worldwide popularity among physical culture amateurs and professionals.

In crossfit, there are no hackneyed stencil schemes. New combinations and exercises are constantly being invented and used here. Each workout is always different from the previous one, and we can safely say that CrossFit is not a routine, but a free creative process. It is the variety that makes crossfit so delicious for athletes of all ages and genders.

CROSSFIT EXERCISES

CrossFit circuit training uses cyclic exercises (cardio), bodyweight exercises, and weights. A large selection of basic exercises allows you to create interesting complexes (WOD), depending on the place and equipment that is available. CrossFit exercises involve large muscle groups, so regular exercise, even if you only work with your own weight, will soon be able to significantly improve your overall physical fitness and tighten your body.

To make it easier for you to compose various complexes for yourself on your own, in this article we will provide a list of the main exercises that are used in this training. It is clear that you need to include them in your training as soon as you are technically and physically prepared.
