Every year a new fitness program, DVD box set, or piece of equipment seems to become the next trend. Those trends seem to always be wrapped around a highly marketed product or person. They explode on the scene and then fade into the closet like so many fads that have grown and died before them. But every so often one stands out. One approach emerges from the pack and stands the test of time. One system grows and holds its ground. CrossFit has climbed out of the crowd and secured its place in the fitness world. Why? Because it works! But What is Crossfit?
Take one look at an avid CrossFit junkie and there is no denying how effective the system works. Cut abs, strong legs, chiseled biceps are what you see on the outside but just wait. Stick around long enough and you’ll see women snatching barbells over their heads and men doing vertical pushups against the wall like a gymnast. CrossFit feels like a chimera of mixed martial arts, power lifting, and Navy Seal training blended together with a fun and positive environment.
One of the biggest reasons why CrossFit has become so successful is the fantastic culture that exists among the members. Newcomers are welcomed, pushed to do more, and praised for all efforts. You walk into an immediate support group that guides your technique and expects greatness. You walk out feeling like a champion.
Everyone in a CrossFit group will be supportive, but one thing they can’t do is tell you how to dress. Making sure you have the right apparel for the workout will improve your confidence and create a better environment for everyone around you. You will sweat! Count on it! Grabbing your typical cotton t-shirt is not the best option.
Wearing a comfortable, breathable top like a Sport-Tek PosiCharge Mesh tank top is a great option. Champion offers a Double Dry fabric top that wicks your sweat away from your skin without sticking to your body. The same Double Dry fabric also comes in matching colors and styles for both women’s workout shorts and men’s athletic shorts too.
