CrossFit
Crossfit training is a type of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), focusing on strength and conditioning. Rather than focusing on lifting a certain amount of weight for a number of sets and reps, crossfit usually gives a certain amount of time for the exercise to be performed. Functional movements are a key, and unusual workouts are common. The goal is to be able to accomplish any workout that is put in front of you and translate acquired skills to everyday life.
Crossfit has been turned into competition. The annual Crossfit Games allow the best Crossfit athletes from around the world to compete against each other. This competition features a series of Crossfit exercises, and the athletes are scored based on their completion and placing amongst their competitors. The winning man and woman are crowned the "Fittest on Earth."
