Title: 5 Myths About CrossFit That are completely Wrong

5 Myths About CrossFit That are completely Wrong
2
  • CrossFit is a relative newcomer to the fitness
    industry and has become a very trendy form of
    intensive exercise. Most commercial gyms and
    fitness centers hate it and feel it is a threat
    to their businesses. This is largely because it
    is so successful so they try and do their best to
    convince people that it is all wrong and
    dangerous. But the facts are that it is no more
    dangerous than any other form of exercise if not
    done properly. Most CrossFit Gyms have beginners
    classes where they teach you all the correct ways
    of doing all the workouts and routines before
    they will allow you to join the mainstream
    classes.
  • Here are five myths that are completely wrong

Myth 1 Youre likely to get hurt
  • The facts are that taking part in CrossFit is no
    more dangerous than running, or playing
    basketball you can ask anyone who works with
    CrossFit Physio people.

Myth 2 CrossFit is Too Hard For You
  • People who say this just have no idea what
    CrossFit is all about. The fact is that CrossFit
    is scalable. This means that whatever your
    capabilities or fitness level is you can do the
    same routines but in a way at to the extent that
    you can. CrossFit is about starting at your level
    and through constantly varied functional
    movements you improve your own fitness as quickly
    as you can.

Myth 3 CrossFit is only for Athletes and Young
People
  • CrossFit gyms (boxes) are open to everyone of all
    ages and fitness levels, the only real criteria
    is that a person wants to become a better version
    of themselves The age spreads from teenagers to
    retirees (and its surprising how many there are
    getting fit and looking like 40 year olds).

6
Myth 4CrossFit is Expensive And a Money Machine
  • CrossFit is more expensive than the normal low
    keyed gym most people go along to play in, but
    then if you want a personal trainer who can
    really help you get fit and do all the exercises
    in the correct way then it is not cheap. It
    depends on your budget and what you think is
    important, your fitness or buying a 50 dollar
    meal as a weekly membership costs from about 50
    a week so is not that expensive.

Myth 5 CrossFit is a great Source of Business
for Hospitals, Doctors and Physiotherapists
  • People are now starting to realize that the old
    ideas that the medical profession used to preach
    such as it gives you pain, then just stop doing
    it and it will go away is counterproductive to
    your overall health.
  • The way that CrossFit Physio specialists suggest
    you deal with pain is to strengthen your body so
    it supports the area that is in pain and do
    special exercises to overcome the issue. Just
    stopping exercise because of pain or injury will
    lead to a sedentary lifestyle and mounting health
    issues.

8
  • CrossFit like everything else that is new and not
    understood has a lot of opposition with people
    making assumptions that are completely wrong,
    some through ignorance and others because it
    threatens the established fitness industry in
    general. This is because the results are very
    impressive.
