Brachiating

Brachiating is a form of locomotion where you move by swinging from object to object using your arms.

“Although humans do not normally brachiate, our anatomy suggests that brachiation may be a preadaptation to bipedalism, and healthy modern humans are still capable of brachiating. ”

Welcome Wendy and Jill to their first CrossFit Portland workout! These two girls have come to CrossFit because of the wide variety of movements, the different workouts, and for the incredible time saver that CrossFit workouts can be. High intensity exercise in quick doses of 10-20 minutes is more effective than the cardio – free weights gym routine that could take 2 hours!
