The truth about Cross Fit. In the past 6 months I have treated 53 Clients ranging in age from 20 to 60 years old. All with severe ligiment and tendon injuries, as a result of Cross fit. 90% of these trama injuries were shoulder , knee , hip and lower back , 30% of the 53 clients were in great shape and also competitive athletes in other sports . In cluding a 25 year old navy seal that just finished his 12 months training and just home for a coiple of weeks on leave. The human body is very resilient, however our body works in planes which means that your body alingement and form are crucial and allows the body to acheive specific muscle contractions. With out causing injury or using secondary muscle groups. For example in a basic Barbell or DB chest press movement ur elbows should not come past ur body and remain parallel to your back and the bench, like ur training inside of a box. This is called frontal plane ( aka coronal plane) . This plane divides the body from front to back. I wrote this post to educate people and prevent injury , not to discredit reebok or cross fit. Cross fit is not a healthy work out or exercise program but more of an extreme sport A mix between powerlifting and dynamic gymnastics, which are also very high risk sport at any level. Power lifting is the shortest lived career for any athlete out of any sport Exercise is ment to strenthen muscle tissue increase flexibility , and promote muscle and cardiovascular endurance. Its not ment to create more problems and limitations. Fitness is a multi billion dollar industry , with new fads and trends coming out every day. As a licensed muscular theripist personal trainer and competetive bodybuilder for the past 18 years ive seen it all , and just want people to know the facts so they can form their own opinion. If u or anyone you know has suffered from any of these injuries or is looking to get into an efective exercise program or needs nutritional guidence and or visit our web site realresultsboston
