DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FUNCTIONAL TRAINING AND CROSSFIT

As It was said on previous posts, CrossFit and Functional training are almost the same and they use different materials which are very similar or sometimes they even share them. In both kind of trainings the movements which are done in life are used. The main difference between CrossFit and Functional training is that CrossFit is focused on drills which are completed depending on the number of repetitions and with high intensity whereas functional training is about the duration which establishes how much time must a drill last, being the intervals the essential thing of this kind of training. We can find three different intervals

-Burn fats:  The Tabata method which has been previously explained consists of different drills in order to burn fats (you have to eat healthy food). As it has been explained in the previous post of functional training we are not going to focuse on it anymore.

 -Muscle definition: It consists of training with weights and the most recommendable is for instance four different circuits for each muscle in which the intervals are longer and more intensive than normally.

-High performance: The intervals of activity last about 40-50 seconds whereas the recovery lasts between 10 and 20 seconds. To complete this training the body must have some adaptations so not everybody is able to do this training.
