CrossFit Workout
I enjoy Crossfit workouts, as well as Crossfit Endurance. CrossFit Endurance workouts are geared toward overall fitness, with an endurance bias. This means these are a little longer than the traditional CrossFit workouts as we have incorporated CrossFit Endurance into the mix as well. This is a great training program for triathletes, ultra-runners, distance athletes or just general fitness. My personal group is made up of me, Kim, an extreme adventure racer, a mom who wants to be fit for soccer, 2 ladies who just want to be generally fit, and another athlete with a goal of running a half marathon. As you can see we are a very diverse group, but we all train the same with the exception that I do a bit more distance work about every 3rd week, due to the nature of my sport. If you have questions about the exercises or CrossFit refer to our
Elite Fitness page,
that should answer your questions. I have changed my workouts often in the last year, but they all involve CrossFit. So that you can enjoy the benefits as I have I am going to break down the sites so you can see what has worked for me and my training partners.
CROSSFIT NAVY SEALS
This workout was great right before I went to Primal Quest. It had me ready for the rigors of 10 days non-stop racing.I continued CrossFit Navy Seals when I returned home for quite some time with my workout group. We all liked it and saw great strides, but after 3 months starting seeing overuse injuries. I think the key is not to jump into this one too quickly and to take the rest days. I'll use CF Navy Seals right before a race, but not year round. If however my job demanded elite fitness. I'd be on this workout most of the year. The ladies like this one a lot but we were seeing some shoulder and knee problems amongst the groupl
CROSSFIT
I have not stuck to the regular CrossFit workout much. Why? Because I stared with distance work and I still enjoy it. Many people see great gains on just CrossFit.I however always am competing so I do more. My husband though who is training to go skiing is using CrossFit and it is working for him. He is recreational however and I am a racer. The workout group likes these but sometimes found them short. We'd often just do a brisk walk afterward for a little cardio and to cool down.
CROSSFIT ENDURANCE
This is where I have stayed the longest...CrossFit Endurance. It is a combination program with strength and the endurance. I have enjoyed this.I have gone back and from using the main CrossFit site with it, to using the Anaerobic Strength and Conditioning workout. I like using theirs because they can plan it with the running. If you use the main site with it, you may be doubling up on some running, and must use common sense.
