Is Crossfit for me?
Whether you are an athlete, professor, fireman, parent, stayhome mom, retired or busy; in shape, out of shape, super fit, young, old, bored with same old work out routine, can't get enough exercise or simply the traditional gym and their machines aren’t cutting it then Crossfit is your ultimate answer. Crossfit is the “sport of fitness”. What is fitness?
The Crossfit is the core strengthening, conditioning program that's constantly varied, and the exercise programs are designed and based on functional movements and activities that are performed at high intensity level with short rest time. Unlike traditional machine exercises; for example the leg curl machine, its movement is in a single plane, load on an isolation muscle group, and yes, far from functional movement. Crossfit substitute exercise, “the squat”, its not only functional for sit to stand, but walk, running, jumping and just about anything that required movement at the core. It put a load on multiple muscles at multiple joints, furthermore, it’s an advance movement at the hip and legs, and with advance movement it works on strengthening at the core. With that said, the Crossfit exercises performed between an athlete and an sedentary individual differ not in the kind of exercise routine itself, but degree and intensity that an individual can perform to reach their full fitness capabilities and in turn and healthy lifestyle or elite fitness for athlete.

What are CrossFit exercises?
Example of crosffit exercises include; biking, running, swimming, and rowing in an endless variety of drills. The clean&jerk, snatch, squat, deadlift, push-press, bench-press, and power-clean. Jumping, medicine ball throws and catches, pull-ups, dips, push-ups, handstands, presses to handstand, pirouettes, kips, cartwheels, muscle-ups, sit-ups, scales, and holds. We make regular use of bikes, the track, rowing shells and ergometers, Olympic weight sets, rings, parallel bars, free exercise mat, horizontal bar, plyometrics boxes, medicine balls, and jump rope. There isn’t a strength and conditioning program anywhere that works with a greater diversity of tools, modalities, and drill. ~ Greg Glassman
So back to the question is this for me?
Absolutely!
So give Crossfit a try, visit the main site or local crossfit affiliates and I am confident that you will not be bored and it will change the way you do your workout and discover a new understanding of what core strengthening and functional fitness is all about.

Crossfit Foundations by Founder Greg Glassman
CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. We have designed our program to elicit as broad an adaptational response as possible. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of ten recognized fitness domains. They are Cardiovascular and Respiratory endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.
The CrossFit Program was developed to enhance an individual’s competency at all physical tasks. Our athletes are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse, and randomized physical challenges. This fitness is demanded of military and police personnel, firefighters, and many sports requiring total or complete physical prowess. CrossFit has proven effective in these arenas.
Aside from the breadth or totality of fitness the CrossFit Program seeks, our program is distinctive, if not unique, in its focus on maximizing neuroendocrine response, developing power, cross-training with multiple training modalities, constant training and practice with functional movements, and the development of successful diet strategies.
Our athletes are trained to bike, run, swim, and row at short, middle, and long distances guaranteeing exposure and competency in each of the three main metabolic pathways.
We train our athletes in gymnastics from rudimentary to advanced movements garnering great capacity at controlling the body both dynamically and statically while maximizing strength to weight ratio and flexibility. We also place a heavy emphasis on Olympic Weightlifting having seen this sport’s unique ability to develop an athletes’ explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns. And finally we encourage and assist our athletes to explore a variety of sports as a vehicle to express and apply their fitness.For full article please check out www.crossfit.com
About me
Welcome to my ultimate fitness blog, my name is Uy, I've been active most of my life, from competitive sports to weight training, but it seem there is something missing, I would get bored and loss my motivation, platueing and not gaining, and worse yet powerlifting and neglecting my flexibility which lead to numerous injuries while competiting in sports and then I started CrossFit and I was fascinated and was immediately drawn to the fun, functional fitness, the challenge of the intensity fitness programs; because it showed significant results not seen with other workouts and wish had done it all along or had coaching when I was competing in H.S, college or any organized sports.
I am working fulltime with a 7on-7off schedule, so keeping my workout and training on a 3 day on a 1 day off during my work week can be a challenge. But nevertheless, I will forged on. So, currently doing my own training and WOD (workout of the day) whenever and wherever; in my house here in Kent WA,garage gym, park, work, office and pretty much anywhere that has a surface because I believe functional fitness is realworld fitness not strap behind a machine. I believe that you can get a world class fitness level training in your garage or lose weight and stay fit or in great shape by doing exercises at home, during break from work, behind your desk, in the park or anywhere you find the urge to do exercise, because I am believer in any kind of activities are better than none and you absolutely don't have to say "I will workout when I join a particular club" I say to you " NO! It's non sense" because exercise can be done practically anywhere, you just have to be creative, be a kid again. Nevertheless, it is not the club that deter you from exercising it is your mind set.
I am always reading,learning and at the same time training and teaching my family and friends and but also very passionate about teaching movement, wellness, functional fitness, performance, nutrition, and eating strategy to anyone who are commited to a healthy lifestyle. And it is my hope to introduce CrossFit, Functional Fitness to everyone who seeks to have fun, challenge and improve their strength and fitness to live a healthy lifestyle, perform effectively on their job or raise their fitness to the next level.
My other activities:
Aside from loving functional fitness and Crossfit, I enjoy fishing, hiking, biking, motorcycle, snowboarding,basketball, soccer, softball, watching and practicing MMA and as well as reading and eating.
My Academia:
BS in Psychology/Biology with heath/fitness emphasis
AA in Nursing

I also volunteer in weight training for Special Olympic.
My passion:
My ultimate professional goal is transforming lives through fitness and community.
My ultimate career goals are to be the best trainer and have my own a studio box.
My ultimate crossfit goal is to compete in the Crossfit Game.
My ultimate personal goal is when I'm 80 y.o. that I can still be able some pullups.
