Cross Fit at a glance – What is it?

It is a form of High Intensity Training that is strength and conditioning workouts made up of functional movements like squatting, pulling pushing etc.

Workouts are fun and can include different categories that include Bodyweight exercises and weighted exercises with kettle bells, battle ropes, TRX bands and other great stuff to get that heart rate up 🙂

Most of the workouts have female names and we will explore a few workouts from the Body weight beginner category and the Weighted category:

1. Cindy – Body Weight Only
