8 Gründe, weshalb du Crossfit in dein Training integrieren solltest

Crossfit has been a training method that has had a particularly strong influence on the fitness scene for years. The powerful and intensive exercises quickly lead to efficient muscle building and promote fat burning. There are now countless training tips and methods on how Crossfit can be perfectly integrated into an individual training program. Crossfit is the ultimate way to make your body stronger and fitter. Below we have listed 8 reasons why you should integrate Crossfit into your training program.

1- Design your workout as a competition

The focus of Crossfit is on hard training that brings quick and visible results. Crossfit is a training method in which you train together with other athletes and you can measure yourself against the successes of other athletes. Experienced athletes know the advantage of a training program that has to be completed together with other athletes. The idea of competition is encouraged and the intensity of the individual exercises is unconsciously increased.

2- Vary your workout

If you want to achieve your goals in sport, you have to constantly face new challenges. The training programs of individual athletes are also crucial in this respect. Forget the mindless training intervals that always follow the same pattern. With monotonous exercises that are always repeated, the body is no longer challenged and muscle building and fat burning will stagnate. Therefore, always train new exercises and vary your workout with experiments. Completely new and unfamiliar exercises often bring faster success than the so-called basics.

3- Shorter but more intensive workouts

For some time now, experienced athletes have known the secret that shorter but more intensive training sessions are much more successful than long and monotonous exercise sequences and training intervals. The HIIT method in particular supports this theory, which is why HIIT has become an integral part of many athletes' training programs.

4- Muscle building and fat burning

Many athletes still believe that building muscle and burning fat at the same time is not possible with one training program. However, if you train the basics such as squats and deadlifts in combination with push-ups and burpees at a very high intensity, you will be able to stimulate muscle building and fat burning at the same time. You don't necessarily have to spend an hour on the treadmill for this, but a tough but intensive 10 to 15-minute workout with deadlifts, push-ups and box jumps is all you need.

5- Test new exercises and training methods

For many athletes who have been training Crossfit for months, there comes a time when stagnation sets in. Then you no longer have the desire or the strength to continue training your burpees, push-ups or lunges intensively. The only thing that helps here is a completely new training program with new times and exercises. Crossfit consists of many flexibly designed workouts that you can try out at any time.

6 - Work on your weak points

Many athletes lose interest in Crossfit because they only ever train their favorite workouts and completely skip the exercises they don't like. Training success is mainly about improving your own weak points. It is therefore important that you also regularly do exercises that you don't like so much. After a while, you will quickly notice that your body gets used to unfamiliar and "hated" movements, which will ultimately bring you the decisive success.

7- Strength training for the whole body

Many athletes claim that Crossfit is not as strenuous as hard weight training, which is why Crossfit does not achieve the same results in terms of muscle building. Crossfit trains the entire body, stabilizes the posture with a total muscle workout, provides more endurance and is trained with a very high intensity in a short time. But the most important thing is the stress factor. Crossfit addresses different muscle groups in a very short time, whereas traditional strength training involves hours of monotonous training for the same muscle groups. The advantage of Crossfit is that the entire musculature is stressed during daily training, whereas in traditional strength training the focus is on training individual muscle groups.

8- Develop toned and well-trained muscles

If you still want to achieve a toned and trained physique without specific strength training, then the Crossfit method is the right choice for you. Crossfit intensively trains the individual muscle groups with natural movements without the need for specific equipment. You often train using only your own body weight. The exercises can be perfectly adapted to your current performance level and can be performed anytime and anywhere. Gaining strength, building muscle and losing annoying body fat are the positive side effects of this tough but intensive training program.
