Introduction
In the world of fitness, variance is a key element to achieving overall wellness and preparing for life’s challenges. At Modern Human CrossFit, we embrace variance in our training to ensure our members are always engaged, improving, and ready for anything.
What Does Variance Look Like in CrossFit?
In CrossFit, variance means constantly changing the time, loading, rep schemes, and types of movements. Here’s a breakdown of how we incorporate variance:
- Time: Some workouts are short and intense, like a 10-minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible). Others might be longer, like a 30-minute endurance session.
- Loading: Some days, we lift heavy with workouts like a 5×5 back squat. Other days, we use lighter weights for high-rep exercises.
- Rep Scheme: This varies from low-rep, high-weight sets to high-rep, low-weight circuits.
- Types of Movement: Our workouts include a wide range of movements. One day, you might focus on strength with back squats. Another day could be cardio-based with rowing and jump ropes. Then, we mix it up with a workout that includes pull-ups, kettlebell swings, and running.
How Variance Prepares You for Life
Variance in training prepares you for any challenge life throws at you. Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, playing with kids on the ground, or moving furniture, varied workouts ensure your body is ready. By training different muscle groups and energy systems, you develop a well-rounded fitness level that makes daily activities outside the gym easier and more enjoyable.
Preventing Injury Through Variance
One significant benefit of variance is injury prevention. By working on different movements and muscle groups, you avoid overusing any single body part. This balanced approach reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries. Additionally, by addressing weaknesses, you build a stronger, more resilient body.
Making the Gym Fun and Exciting
Routine can become boring, but with varied workouts, every day at the gym is different. This keeps things exciting and fun. You’ll always be challenged in new ways, which keeps motivation high and helps you stick to your fitness routine.
