Those who first heard about CrossFit, be wise to turn to "Wikipedia", which deals with the sport as a strength training program built on constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. The purpose of an athlete - improving the overall physical fitness, reaction, endurance and readiness for any situation that requires active physical activities. Well, go to the gym and watch as the train Gomel krossfitery.



Although, to be honest, there is no room for doing this type of training disciplines in Gomel not. Therefore krossfitery Nikita, Ksenia and Irina chosen usual trenazherku. Here, of course, not clear, but the guys do not have the choice.

- While we still in its infancy. We hope that someday fashion for CrossFit and gets to Belarus. It's already all over the world in the last few years, this sport is very popular. Competitions, the number of participants and sponsors is growing - says Xenia.



She CrossFit is not more than a year, but the result is obvious, more precisely, on the body.

- Before the third year I weighed 85 kg. Started to go to the gym, gradually led into shape. A CrossFit helped achieve the main thing: I have appeared muscles, pulled stomach. It's very nice. By the way, Nikita, tell you a secret, to CrossFit classes also weighed 115 pounds - Ksenia whispers.













Today, those who have recently weighed on a pair of two hundredweight, tirelessly jump, crouch, shake the huge weight while inspiring and confusing his endurance gym regulars.

- Why do you need all this?

- The athlete will run dozens of kilometers, but would not lift a huge weight. Conversely, a bodybuilder lifts multikilogram pancakes, but if try to catch the trolley, then it is unlikely to succeed. A krossfiter can and then, and more. This type of training is closest to reality. Its versatility makes it more adapted to real life. And it is much more useful than even the highest sports records. No wonder this kind of training firefighters, police and security forces of USA, Canada and European countries included in the training of personnel, - says Nikita before you lift a 170-pound barbell.













Within 15 minutes of training with the guys hail pouring sweat. But these physiological metamorphosis athletes only cheer. Sweat - so live. Live - so you train.



- CrossFit - a kind of experiment on the spare capacity of the organism. The purpose krossfitera - find out what you stand and what you can achieve more. We strive to develop the strength and agility of a gymnast weightlifter, endurance marathon and sprint speed. Many people say that this is impossible. CrossFit proves the opposite - says Nikita.

- This is a very interesting and exciting. When six months ago you were not able to do push-ups and three, and now easily do twenty, when you can catch up, but before he could not even once - it's cool! You understand that all is in your hands - turn upside down Ksenia.

- But you can go to fitness. All the girls go there ...

- Perform three sets of eight repetitions? It's very boring.







Training on physical endurance are very helpful on the job. This is not hearsay knows krossfiter Irina - she deputy head of a private company. At such a position can not avoid stress.

Nikita, Ksenia and Irina say that while in Gomel with the development of CrossFit tight. To somehow help promote the sport in his hometown guys created a community in the social network "VKontakte". While it is only 10 participants, but Gomel athletes hope that soon their chosen path will be, if not massive, but at least more popular.
