It has been proven that doing varied workout routines get us to our fitness goals faster. CrossFit® is a high-intensity fitness program that's all about doing different workouts every day. The program is also fun, exciting, and there are a lot of other exercises or sports that people can do that will fit right in with it. Here's a rundown of activities that complement this exercise regimen.

5 Exercises to Combine With Crossfit to Get Fit Faster

1. Swimming

Swimming is one of the best exercises to combine with this program. It's a low impact activity that gives the body a rigorous workout and enhances core strength. It's also a form of resistance and cardiovascular training that requires the use of all the muscle groups to propel through the water.

2. Yoga

There's a reason yoga is being offered in CrossFit gyms now. The poses reinforce the external rotation of the joints and improve overall mobility. It also teaches practitioners focus and breathing techniques. This mindfulness translates to a heightened awareness of how to move the body more efficiently.

3. Running

Running increases bone mass and improves cardiovascular endurance, making us better equipped in working out at higher intensities. Running long distances also builds up mental stamina and releases waves of feel-good endorphins in the body.

4. Ball Sports

The ball sports that we love can also enhance a CrossFit regimen. Playing sports improves coordination, speed, endurance, and strength. It also helps with active recovery while having fun.

5. Mass Building

Free weights are already used in CrossFit, so training to build mass makes sense. The exercises in mass training bulk up muscles while keeping lifters healthy and lean. Power lifts can be integrated into WODs and cycled every week for maximum benefit.
