Constantly Varied


CrossFit workouts are constantly varied. Why? Because a varied training stimulus is clinically proven to provide the greatest human adaptions.
If you do the same workout every day your body will quickly adapt to it. You ask it to do something different and your muscular, neurological and endocrine systems respond in order to perform the task you've asked them to do. If you do not vary your workout your body will stop changing because it has already made the required adaptions needed to perform the task. Until you ask it to pick up something heavier or move faster it will not need to change. If you do the same thing every day that is all you will be able to do. We vary our workouts in order to create a broad and general fitness. A body that is ready to handle whatever challenges life might present. Constant muscular, neurological and endocrine adaptions require alot of energy and generally result in decreased body fat in a person who is training consistently and not overeating.
