Provision has already been made for the reopening in May to regularize inputs, temperature measurement, usage spaces to ensure the spacing gods 2 meters, constant sanitation of tools, limited or even closed common areas, changing rooms and showers, open where possible. In this new perspective, the equipment they were not already more shared, but customized for those who trained at that time and in that class. An immense waste of energy and funds that now risk being thwarted. It is right that they provide spaces that are not up to standard, but we must not penalize everyone.

And to say that Crossfit is one of the disciplines the more you follow. “It is essential, they are used Spartan gear: barbells, ropes, medicine balls, wooden cubes, tires of different sizes, rings in suspension, bags full of sand. You sweat, there you areinvigorate , you increase lean mass, strength, endurance, athletic ability. A set of exercises created in contrast to traditional training. Generally it works in isolation, the same gestures are always performed, passively, on the machinery. With the crossfit the movement patterns they change every day. The movements are functional and involve together more muscles. The workouts are short, even just 30 minutes, but of high intensity. The philosophy of crossfit: it doesn’t matter how much you train but how you do it. Each time is a challenge, a way to inspire people to push their limits, get better results, overcome obstacles that are sometimes mental. And make them able to react to any kind of daily external stimulus. Because whoever trains with crossfit becomes agile and resistant to fatigue: it is important to modulate the exercises on your own abilities.

How a lesson takes place “A set of exercises performed in series or in a circuit, without pauses between one and the other. The recovery takes place only at the end of the series. We start with the heating : light running, exercise bike, rowing machine to raise body temperature and prepare muscles. In the central phase the proposal of the exercises varies, it becomes more intense with the improvement of developed physical qualities. For those who start in general pushups his legs and arms, abdominals and run. Then we add the loads: balls, ropes, free weights. The ride becomes jerky and in the circuit are inserted jump on the spot or on the cube “. No contact, no risks, distances and safety in training, guaranteed results. All that remains is to hope for non-closure.
