What is CrossFit? CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. The program is designed to elicit as broad an adaptational response as possible. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of the ten generally recognized fitness domains:
Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance - The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
Stamina - The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy.
Strength - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.
Flexibility - the ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
Power - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply maximum force in minimal time.
Speed - The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
Coordination - The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.
Agility - The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.
Balance - The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base.
Accuracy - The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.

The 3 Biggest Workout Mistakes that are Sabotaging Your Results (and how to fix them!)
Let’s face it, when you are training you work hard. Right?
But did you know there are 3 common mistakes most people make that sabotage their results. What is the point of working out if you don’t maximize your results?
Here are the 3 biggest mistakes made over and over again (along with quick tips on how to fix those mistakes!)
Mistake #1
Training only your favorite body parts
If you only train your favorite body parts - you are doing your body a grave disservice. In addition to creating an unbalanced and out of proportion physique, it leads to overtraining, stubborn injuries and most importantly a slower metabolism.
When you workout in all facets of conditioning your body is running at peak levels. Your metabolism is stoked and running hot because you are requiring it to function in many planes of movement, working various muscles all over the body and essentially requiring it to work harder than it would if you only trained 2 of your favorite body parts over and over.
Mistake #2
No Workout Variety
If you always complete the same exercises and routine over and over, your body gets used to it. It doesn’t have the need to build new muscle. It becomes complacent.
Your body is only going to build enough muscle and get strong enough to complete the exercise as required. If you do the same 8 exercises over and over again you will never make any progress. Even if you add weight and make the exercises harder your progress is still limited because your body only has to produce enough strength to lift that extra 5 pounds.
Now if you want to consistently be progressing and challenging your body then you should be adjusting your workouts frequently. An example would be to change your workouts up every 3 weeks. You can still work the same muscle groups, but choose different exercises that target those muscles.
If you don’t believe me try a forward lunge for 4 consecutive workouts and then switch to a lateral lunge for the next 4 workouts and see if you notice a difference between the two exercises. They are essentially working the same muscles, but differently and your muscles will most definitely recognize that.
Mistake #3
Damaging Post-Workout Nutrition
This is the biggest mistake that can be easily corrected!
You only get results from exercise AFTER you are done with your workout! And if you don’t consume some type of post workout drink, your will suffer in your recovery and your progress will be slower.
The research is abundant with studies showing an intake of carbohydrates and protein together within 1 hour after working out greatly enhances recovery, increases protein synthesis and replenishes glycogen. The key is to digest quick digesting nutrients so that the recovery process can begin immediately.
The best way to do this is by consuming a high quality post-workout drink with the proper carbohydrate to protein ratio. If you are choosing just a high protein drink without enough carbs, you are consuming the wrong drink.
I began working out at CrossFit Corona after having my second child and had about 30 pounds to lose. After having my having my first child I did not return to a regular workout program and I was tired, fatigued and did not feel healthy overall. Once my second child was born I knew I needed to do something to help change the way I felt inside and the way I looked on the outside. I started CrossFit 10 weeks ago and to date have lost 18 pounds and 3 inches off my waist. I can really see and feel the results in my core and legs; both are toned and I feel stronger, have more energy and feel healthier. I look forward to working out because I can feel and see the results. One of the best benefits of the program is that the workouts don't take up a lot of time and I don't have to spend hours working out to feel like I got a good workout. CrossFit is fun and everyone is very supportive of each other; which is way more beneficial than working out alone or with a bunch of strange people at a regular gym facility. The trainers are great too by the way. They are supportive and are great at encouraging everyone. It's nice to have them there while the workout is going on; because they are always motivating and energetic.
I am 39 years old, I am a stay at home mom for the most part. I started CrossFit August 15, 2007. My goal was to lose some inches and tone up a little,,,, When I started I was a size 11 and I would never wear a bathing suit or go in the water. I would go to the gym occasionally when I felt like it or when my friends dragged me there. Since I started CrossFit, I have gone down to a size 8 and I WILL wear a bathing suit sometimes. From January 1 until June 1, I've lost over 6 inches total!! I am more comfortable in my clothes, I don't wear baggy shirts anymore, I get up every morning and go work out, I look forward to my daily workout and really hate when I have to miss them. I have not taken a break since I started, which is a good thing for me. I have more energy and I feel better about myself. My friends have all commented on how great I look, my husband who sees me everyday has even commented on how much I have lost! Thank you to all my CrossFit Buddies for keeping it fun and alive and making me work harder to accomplish my goals, even though I am not done yet! Thank you K.W. and Melissa for pushing me when I felt like I could not do it.
I can't express how grateful I am to your gym, the instructors, and my fellow work-out partners. Prior to joining CrossFit I worked out, but failed to see any results and I had reached a point where losing weight was imperative. I was suffering from health problems; I hated the way I looked and felt, and my self-esteem was low. Then one day, Melissa shared with me that she and her husband opened a CrossFit and she suggested that I give it a try. Initially I participated in one session, which I enjoyed, but I just did not allow myself to take working out seriously. I blamed my job (having lack of time), being ill, and I could not imagine giving up what little sleep I was getting. However, one day I just decided no more excuses, I needed and wanted to change my life. So on Feb. 4, 2008, at 5 a.m. I began my quest to become healthy. It was difficult getting up that early to work-out, but I was determined. After awhile my body adjusted to the time and I found myself waking up with no problems. Since joining CrossFit, I have lost over 14 inches, I can't remember the last time I was ill, I feel stronger, I am energized, and my determination is back, but most importantly, I feel good about myself. Thank You!!
