Exercise Crossfit
Do you know what is CrossFit?
I wonder if anyone can explain to me, in better details, what CrossFit is.
I have seen videos on youtube and read the articles on the CrossFit Kids newsletter. It's clear to me it is a fitness approach, based on multi-disciplinary tasks.
But how do you actually perform or follow CrossFit?
I have noticed that there are certain exercises that seems standard in the CrossFit protocol (dumbell squat + overhead presses, burpees, mountain climbers, tuck jumps, kettleball swings, headstands ...)
Is this right or I am just imagining it ?
Can you please elaborate a bit?
Thanks
The best source is the website itself and their FAQ:

CrossFit is simply a fitness regime that builds complete physical fitness. It incorporates some Olympic-style weightlifting exercises, some gymnastics, some calisthenics, some endurance work, and mixes it all together.
I would recommend browsing their website and message board, there are many resources there to help people new to CrossFit.
Be careful before starting a CrossFit workout plan. They are rigorous and can, like any other physical activity, cause injury when done improperly. They have videos demonstrating most of the exercises right there on the site.
Also, check out to see if there is a CrossFit gym in your area. Check out the right side of this page under 'Affiliates" for a listing of CrossFit gyms by state/country.

Hope this helps.
