Crossfit is a strength and conditioning program for.... well anyone. It has been used by the military, professional athletes, stay at home mothers, and hey... college kids trying to get in shape! It focuses on high intensity functional movements, and stays away from singling out a specific muscle group. Some of my favorite things about Crossfit are that the workouts are short, I can spend an hour out of my day and get a better workout than someone in a "Globo Gym" spending three hours, this hour even includes travel time. Also I really like the atmosphere and camaraderie between Crossfiters. No matter what your level of fitness is, as long as you are working hard and pushing yourself, everyone knows why you're there... and that is to get a good workout. And there seems to be some sort of unspoken connection between Crossfiters... no one really knows what its like unless you do it!
I highly recommend Crossfit for... as I said earlier... ANYONE!

I will be performing a month long health and fitness experiment over my, college freshman year, winter break.
I am a freshman college student approaching my first winter break. I had been VERY regular at the local Crossfit gym for about a year and a half, and the last few months of that spent experimenting with the Zone Diet and Paleo... that is before college hit me. The level of drinking and cigarette smoking has risen to an absurd level! And with my ONE MONTH break, I figured... what better time to experiment! My plan is to spend the month of December and into January getting back into shape, and also to learn how much I can change my body and performance in one month. For exercise: I plan to Crossfit and a VERY high intensity I also plan on performing 5 mile timed runs once a week. (I did this when i first started Crossfiting and it helped) For Nutrition: My plan is to switch to the Zone Diet/ Paleo Diet combination -I have seen results from this in my past Crossfit history and KNOW is works! Also, I have heard a lot about intermittent fasting, I will plan on doing these over my break. (I need to do more on this) *By NO means am I an elite Crossfiter and hope I didn't come off as trying to sound like one! it has just been a past time and fitness regimen for me for the past few years. So this is my experiment, we'll see where it takes me!
