Remember all of those exercises you thought you'd never have to do again after you left grade school; burpees, push-ups, rope climbing, box jumps, jumping rope, etc? Well they are back and better than ever.

Crossfit is an exercise philosophy that puts your athleticism to the test by incorporating old school exercises like those just mentioned with new school combinations and lung-bursting intensity. You are only limited by your creativity and of course your lung capacity. The meat and potatoes exercises are still there- like the squat, deadlift and the clean and jerk, but you will never feel the same about them after they become a part of your crossfit workout.

Crossfit is by no means the traditional gym workout and the need for fancy equipment is minimal in order to break a sweat, in fact most crossfitters find solace in their garages with loud music blaring in the background a chin-up bar and some free weights at their disposal. Most crossfit workouts target your whole body in one session.

Crossfit has been an underground method of hardcore functional training for years now, but has recently been gaining more notoriety since the movie "300" came out. The cast of the movie was known for performing crossfit type workouts to get in shape fast. That's what crossfit is known for though, pushing yourself to the limit and competing against yourself all while getting into great physical condition with a quickness.

I had the opportunity to experience a workout with the guys from Crossfit Alaska last Friday and it was intense to say the least. Revolution Sports will be opening its doors to the public Saturday, May 3rd. 9191 Old Seward Highway Suite 10 & 11. Check out their website: www.revolutionsportstraining.com
