Cross-training workout for women

If you're looking to change up your workout routine and get real results, then this CrossFit workout is for you. Get ready for some serious sweat, but also some fun.


Will CrossFit make you bulky?


This WOD involves some dumbbell complexes and heavy weight lifting, and in fact, some women might worry that this type of training will make them look "large" and "manly."

Quite the contrary, CrossFit is the perfect balance between cardio and strength training, and you'll burn a lot of calories doing this workout.

The only thing that will make you bulky is eating more calories than you burn, so this workout should actually help you get leaner and more athletic.


Will CrossFit help you get fitter?


Wanting to "get in shape" is a very broad term and is not really a good goal to strive for. When setting fitness goals, it's important to have a solid goal in mind with a timeline that is measurable and realistic.

Rather than saying "I want to get in shape", you should say "I want to be able to lift 100 kg in 6 months and lose 5 kg". This goal is much more realistic, it is also measurable and has a time frame.

With that in mind, it's impossible to say whether CrossFit will get you in shape, the question is so vague.

What CrossFit is going to do is improve your cardiovascular fitness, your lung capacity, and with proper diet, it could also help you lose weight and burn fat, thereby improving your physique.

What are the best CrossFit shoes?

Before starting this CrossFit workout for women , you need to make sure that you have the right and best shoes for CrossFit.

Since there are so many different movements and complexes in a CrossFit workout, you need shoes that are versatile and have a solid sole for heavy lifting, while still being flexible and comfortable enough for running and jumping.
