As the New Year approaches, we get the inevitable questions about working out (e.g. is CrossFit too hard? I have not worked out in X years, is CrossFit for me? and If I lift weights, won't I get big bulky man-like muscles?) I laugh a lot at that last one. I have worked out for years trying to get big bulky man-like muscles to no avail - but I digress.

TitanFit and its CrossFit based workouts is the answers to your questions. At TitanFit we provide REAL hands-on personal training with each session. We are here to assist you in becoming better athletes - there is one in each of us!

Check out the following link...the Nave Seals use CrossFit, maybe you should to.

After writing that line, I thought of those that say I do not need/want to be as fit as a Navy Seal - I just want to be fit. Aha, that is the secret. Truly, honestly, deep down, there is really only one (1) kind of fit. Fit or un-fit, in reality. The difference between us and the Nave Seals is not a desire for fit or un-fit but the degree of how fit.

OK, let me try again. CrossFit will get you fit. It can be scaled up to the needs of the elite (e.g. FBI Agents, Navy Seals, or can be scaled down to the needs of those like me that are middle managers.

an excerpt from the site reads:
In every category of training, SEALs operate at the razor sharp tip of the spear. This is why only the best training methods are used to develop and equip America’s elite.

In the last few years, a growing insurgency of the program CrossFit® has emerged as the preeminent strength and conditioning program for many SEALs, to the extent that it is utilized in every phase of BUD/S and SQT, and within the SEAL Teams as an integral component of the PT program.

The NavySEALs.com CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We use the same routines for individuals seeking to get into shape for the first time, as elite athletes or warriors prior to an event or combat. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs. The needs of veteran SEAL Operators and BUD/S wannabes differ by degree not kind. You can find your best fitness from the same regimen.

Getting in shape for the world class Navy SEALs is no walk in the park. However, if you can push yourself to the limit, then the rewards will be great!
