CrossFit® by CrossFit Wheeling CrossFit ® – constantly varying functional movement at high intensity. VARYING – marked by diversity or difference “nature is infinitely variable” FUNCTIONAL MOVMENT – Functional movements are movements based on real-world situational biomechanics. They usually involve multi-planar and multi-joint movements which place demand on the body’s core musculature and innervation. INTENSITY – the amount of energy transmitted “the property of being intense” At ChicagoFitLife we have a five day cycle of power movements to build max muscle and strength. After this we have the workout of the day (WOD) which incorporates 1 to 7 different exercises for a maximum number of sets or time. Our CrossFit® workouts run 75min which we allow for warming up soon after strength training then lastly the WOD. CrossFit Journal: The Performance-Based Lifestyle Resource crossfit Sign Up Today!
