Diablo CrossFit

What Is CrossFit?

Started as a maverick gym in Santa Cruz, CrossFit has spread worldwide, becoming the principal strength & conditioning program for police academies and tactical op's teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, & hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Why? Because CrossFit works...FAST.

CrossFit delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. CrossFit's specialty is not specializing. Daily life, like many sports and professions, (and even combat) requires broad levels of fitness. CrossFit's program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind.

How to Burn More Fat With Less Effort

“The group which did around eight seconds of sprinting on a bike, followed by 12 seconds of exercising lightly for twenty minutes, lost three times as much fat as other women, who exercised at a continuous, regular pace for 40 minutes,”

It is always nice when the science validates what you have already been doing. I also like the tone of the article saying that it is better to be healthy with some fat than unhealthy and emaciated. -jj

Excellent article on cycling & losing fat! This is very consistant with my experience.

My glutes are in pain! Sitting is uncomfortable today. Thanks for a good workout today.

Looking forward to seeing you guys again.
