Crossfit core knowledge points

1. Box (Hall)

First of all, the training venue of CrossFit is not called a gym or a health club, but a "gym". CrossFit training ground is called "BOX" in English, which means box. If you have been to CrossFit training ground, you will understand the English meaning ~

CrossFit training ground is usually empty, with a high roof and no complicated large equipment. It looks like a box. Therefore, it is more appropriate to translate the domestic CrossFit training hall into a training hall ~

2: WOD (Day Training Program)

CrossFit has its own unique training system, called "WOD" in English, and the whole spell is a day's exercise, that is, a day's training plan ~

If you want to test whether your friends around you are practicing CrossFit, the most effective way is to ask: What is WOD like today? If the other person's eyes shine, it means that the partner is a cross fitter ~

3. Fundamentals (basic courses)

If you work out in a traditional gym or fitness club, you can go at any time as long as you have a membership card. For CrossFit, it's not that simple. First of all, you have to pass 4-6 basic courses of CrossFit Foundation and successfully pass the exam before you can participate in the formal WOD training ~

4: Level- 1 (first-class teacher)

There are many fitness instructor certifications in the market, but if you want to become a CrossFit Coach, you must have at least Level- 1, which is the first-class teacher certification ~

To test the level of a coach, you can ask: What level of teacher are you? If the other person is confused, it means that it is a fake coach; If the other party calmly tells the CET-4 teacher, then sign it quickly. Because in the CrossFit system, Level-4 is a very advanced level ~

5: Sugar-free (no sugar)

CrossFit also has its own unique views on nutrition, the most prominent of which is sugar-free abstinence. If you are happy with a bottle of sugary drink in the box, you are likely to be laughed at by the coach and other friends. So, never drink sugary drinks in the box ~

6: Ancient (primitive diet)

CrossFit advocates a more natural diet and tries to stay away from processed foods. Simply put, nature eats everything, such as fruits and vegetables, meat and nuts. On the contrary, bread will naturally not grow on the land, and chocolate will not grow on the trees. Do not encourage these refined foods ~
