For anyone that's heard of CrossFit but not quite sure what it is, or perhaps thinking of starting CrossFit we've released our introductory guide article to CrossFit training, workouts and equipment.

This article serves as an introduction to the ever-growing, high-intensity functional fitness movement that's acquiring an almost cult-like following.

The devotion, intensity and commitment that CrossFit requires might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's certainly a lot to be learned from the CrossFit ethos, training methods and principles, and the CrossFit Journal is a superb reading resource. 

You'll find the CrossFit guide in our articles section. 

The Foam Roller has been getting a lot of good press lately, and rightly so - they offer a quick and effective way to not only warm-up and prepare the body for training but also a means of self-massage to decrease recovery time and improve overall soft-tissue health.

We're now selling our own Foam Roller in the Fitstream Store (pictured below).

The Fitstream Foam Roller is a sound investment at little cost, and is an essential item for anyone involved in intense physical training or workouts, and anyone concerned about their posture or flexibility.

Continued use of a foam roller will improve muscle alignment and flexibility, postural alignment and will fully prepare your body for workouts, thereby minimising the chances of injury and improving form.

Our Foam Rollers are the large 36" long variety with a 6" diameter and are perfect for full body stretching and flexibility exercises.
