CrossFit Games 2021 have arrived and many CrossFit Games 2021 competitors are thrilled. There will be women's competitions in addition to the regular men's and women's competitions. We're all familiar with the Reebok's equipment, the Pegboard contest, and the Cutting system. But what do we know about the womens' competition? Continue reading to find out! And don't forget to check out the CrossFit news page for updates on the competition!
Women are competing
The 2021 Crossfit Games women's competition opened this morning with a swim event. Jonne and Tia Claire Toomey-Orr won the first competition. After maintaining her lead throughout competition, Koski was declared the overall winner. Tall and Eramo O'Connell finished second and third, respectively. This was the first Games event for women and the women's team hoped to finish the podium.
The women's competition features top-level female athletes. The field includes nine athletes, including a 19-year-old powerhouse who won the competition in Australia last year. Other contenders are Australian athlete Kara Saunders, who finished second in Australia and eleventh worldwide in 2020. Andrea Nisler is another rising star. She competed in the team category in 2018 and placed third in the United States, and 15th overall in 2020. In addition to these athletes, the Women's competition will also feature a newcomer to the sport - Icelandan competitor Sara Sigmundsdottir, who won the first place medal in the World Crossfit Games earlier this year.
Pegboard contest
Pegboard at Crossfit Games 2020 was a first. Along with dumbbell overhead squats and double-unders, it was included in the Games' summer Olympic programme. Toomey-Orr set the record for most wins in a single Games event with 30. Sager won Event 11 men's and received his third Games win. There were several tie in the contest but Toomey Orr's dominance was too strong to stop him winning.
CrossFit Games is a training program that focuses on 10 general fitness skills. These include strength, flexibility, power and speed as well as cardiovascular endurance. Pegboard tests the grip strength and coordination of competitors. A scale is used to determine the strength and coordination of competitors. The competition was fierce and the athletes felt a sense accomplishment after finishing the Pegboard.
System of cutting
CrossFit Games will use a cutting system again for individual competitions. This is not as extreme as past Games cuts, but it is very different this year. The competition consists of 15 individual events, so a first cut to 30 athletes is likely after the seventh or eighth event. Another question remains: how will CrossFit adjust the points spread following cuts? The scoring table used during the 2019 games was almost identical to that used in 2021. It is likely that this will continue.
This year's CrossFit Games field includes 236 athletes. It is the largest ever. Major cuts are made at the six initial events. The field is then reduced to 75 athletes. To determine the top ten, the top 30 athletes compete in a sprint tandem. The top 20 athletes then compete in six more events. Castro's system was criticized by veterans Games participants who felt the cuts were too large.
Reebok equipment
Reebok announces new CrossFit Games clothing, shoes and other equipment. Nano X1 will be the new shoes. They can be used for multiple fitness goals. Reebok calls the shoe "the shoe of health," but it is more like a traditional trainer shoe. DuPont’s Kevlar material is used to make the upper of this shoe, which promotes breathability as well as durability. The shoe's responsiveness can be enhanced by its firm midsole and RopePro Tech.
CrossFit's sponsorship contract with Reebok is ending at the end of 2020. There will not be a title sponsor for the Games. Reebok has sponsored these Games for over a decade. However, it now appears that the company's involvement in the Games is decreasing. Reebok will not fund the Games' prize pool, but it will still make all the equipment and apparel worn by athletes, even the Reebok gear. The company won't refer to itself as "Reebok crossfit games" anymore.

What is a good daily gym routine?
Regular exercise is key to staying healthy. It doesn't matter what type of fitness activity you choose as long as you do it regularly. The key thing is consistency. To achieve success, you need to persevere for a long time.
Begin small daily activities like walking. Start by walking for a few minutes every day. Gradually increase your time exercising to 30 minutes per week. You could do this by running, swimming, weight training or yoga.
Try to get active every day. If you have a valid reason to skip a session, it is best not to.
Wear appropriate clothing and footwear when exercising outdoors. Weather conditions can also affect your ability and safety to exercise.
Make sure that you drink plenty of water while you're exercising. Drinking alcohol during exercise can cause dehydration. Avoid caffeine-rich drinks like coffee, tea, and coca. They can provide energy, but they also dehydrate.

What is the difference between Aerobic Fitness (or Anaerobic Fitness)?
Anaerobic fitness means that our bodies can perform intense physical work with no oxygen. Anaerobic pathways are used when there is intense exercise to provide sufficient energy. Anaerobic pathways include glycolysis, creatine phosphate, the phosphagen, lactic acid, etc.
Cardio fitness is, in contrast to aerobic fitness, the practice of sustaining low-intensity exercise. The primary source of energy for aerobic exercise is oxygen. In other words, the aerobic pathway provides more energy than the anaerobic pathway.
For example, if you want to run a marathon, you must first build up your aerobic capacity. If you only focus on building up your anaerobic capacity, you won't be able to finish the race.
Aerobic fitness also refers to cardiovascular fitness. The most common methods of determining cardiovascular fitness are step tests and VO2max testing.
Test VO2 Max
VO2max is the maximum oxygen (O2) that your body can use while exercising. This test measures how much oxygen the body can use while exercising.
This is one of the most accurate tests to measure cardiovascular fitness. However, the test can only be administered by highly trained professionals and requires expensive equipment.
Step Tests
Step tests are a simple but effective way to measure cardiovascular fitness. These are based on your weight and age, they require you to run or walk on a track.
These tests can be conducted almost anywhere and are cheap, simple, and easy. For instance, you can walk on a treadmill for 2 minutes, rest for 1 minute, repeat this process for 20 minutes, and then stop. Throughout the session, your heart rate should be within a certain range.
This protocol is called the "Bruce Protocol". Bruce, himself a runner developed this protocol when he realized his heart rate didn't rise when he ran long distances.
