Self-motivation can be the biggest obstacle to maintaining your fitness. Stress, other demands on your time, boredom or just pure laziness can make a visit to the gym as appealing as a trip to the dentist. Working out with a partner is one solution, but if that is not possible, Crossfit may be the answer. Created by a gymnast, Crossfit started as an Internet phenomenon and is now infiltrating weight rooms everywhere. Its regimen of high-octane, twenty-minute workouts against the clock employs a combination of body weight exercises, running, free-weights and gymnastic moves that emphasize full range of motion and perfect form.
At www.crossfit.com and you will find all the information that you need to get started, along with the Workout of the Day, each one a new combination of exercises, with instructions and video demonstrations of proper form. Check out the video of an exercise called 'The Bear'. Just to give the guys a little competitive incentive, the demonstrator is a girl. You will be out of the gym in half an hour and a fresh challenge every day will have you looking forward to your next workout.
Among its enthusiastic adherents are many policemen, soldiers and firefighters who swear by the programme. Crossfit gyms are sprouting all across North America and personal trainers by the thousands are taking the certification course in Crossfit techniques. It's fun, it's fast and it works. What more could you ask?
