Women, have you ever heard of this crazy thing called CrossFit? JK JK of course! 

But for those who want the official description, It's like if you took a gym, a masochistic drill sergeant, and an insane amount of kettlebells, and then blended them all together until they were unrecognizable. And then, just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier, they throw in a workout with a funny name like "Cindy" or "Fran."

But don't let the fun names fool you, CrossFit is a serious workout. And if you're looking to lose weight and improve your overall health, it just might be the answer to all your prayers.

For starters, CrossFit is intense. You'll be doing everything from running and rowing to lifting and jumping, all at a breakneck pace. This high-intensity workout style has been shown to increase the number of calories you burn, even after you've finished your workout. That's right, you can keep burning calories long after you've left the gym.

CrossFit is also designed to improve your overall fitness level. You'll be working on your strength, agility, and cardiovascular health all at the same time. This means that you'll be able to do more and feel better in every aspect of your life, not just in the gym. It's an amazing feeling when normal everyday tasks feel easier and easier. I used to have to push myself off the floor with my arms because my legs and hips were so weak, so when I started to be able to use only my legs, it was the proof I wanted to solidify my new consistently working out self.

Are you looking for friends? How many times have your heard someone say I keep doing CrossFit because of the community? I have heard it, I've even said it about my CrossFit gym. You'll be working out with a group of people who are all there to support you and push you to be your best. And let's be real, it's a lot more fun to workout with friends than to suffer through a solo workout.

But what about the weight loss? CrossFit can be a powerful tool for shedding those extra pounds. The intense workouts will help you burn fat, and the focus on functional movement will help you build lean muscle. And as we all know, muscle burns more calories than fat, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn even when you're just sitting on the couch.

But let's not forget about the diet aspect. CrossFit places a strong emphasis on nutrition and healthy eating. You'll learn about macronutrients and micronutrients, and how to fuel your body properly for maximum performance. And as an added bonus, you'll be less likely to reach for that bag of chips after a tough workout when you know you need to fuel your body with healthy food.

So, you may be thinking, "This all sounds great, but isn't CrossFit just for athletes and super-fit people?" Well, the short answer is no. CrossFit is designed to be totally scalable, meaning that workouts can be adjusted to your fitness level and capabilities. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, CrossFit can be tailored to meet your individual needs.

All in all, CrossFit is an amazing workout for weight loss and overall health. The intense workouts will help you burn calories and build muscle, and the focus on nutrition will keep you on track to reach your goals. And let's not forget about the community aspect, which makes working out so much more enjoyable. So, grab a kettlebell and join the CrossFit madness today!

Just a heads up, you may never look at a barbell the same way again...or booty shorts, because once you start CrossFit, the next obsession is fun shorts.
