Crossfit Advantages And Disadvantages

another advantage of CrossFit is that it employs a communal approach. Doing workouts as a group boosts morale and competition among participants, which boosts commitment. In addition to this, the communal nature gives participants morale, which is essential in workouts (Murphy, 2012). Another major advantage of CrossFit workouts is that it does not tax one’s mind in planning and designing workouts. The CrossFit company has experienced and skilled workout trainers who design and plan workouts on a daily basis. They plan how workouts are supposed to follow each other on a daily basis without leading to muscle strain or other consequences. This gives participants an advantage, as they only need to avail themselves at the gym for training (Kelly).

Firstly, CrossFit offers general body workouts and not specialized workouts that can help specialized professionals achieve their goals (Kraemer et al., 2011). As an example, athletes need more running exercises as compared to push-ups or weight lifting but CrossFit does not put this into consideration when prescribing workouts of the day. The workouts of the day are designed to the one-size fits all fashion, which is not healthy for all classes and groups of individuals. Another major limitation of CrossFit is the lack of consistency. Crossfit offers most exercises on a one-time basis, which limits consistency that is essential for muscles growth and strength. The workout of the day exercises posted on their website does not follow a specific format or procedure of workout as they are designed for general body fitness. This scenario can lead to over exercising some parts of the body, leading to muscle damage or injuries (Kraemer et al.,
