Hybrid VS CrossFit Training - What's best for You? 

Training for nothing, but ready for anything! LOVE this!

Loved how straightforward you were

Hi Kristi, my goal is to build an athletic body like crossfit athletes naturally, I am doing bodybuilding and crossfit workouts, what is your advice??

Hybrid training is when you are training for 2 or more goals concurrently, like a power lifting total AND a marathon time, OR a 10k swim AND strengh training as an example, crossfit and hyrox are singular sports, you are training for the sport of crossfit/hyrox, hope that makes sense :D

If you want to be good at something, you should focus on that. If you want to be a good runner, you should primarily run. Running is not cardio. Running is running. It’s a skill that demands the development of different muscle fibers and connective tissue. This type of development cannot happen in a CrossFit gym. It takes a lot of practice to get better at it. I quit doing CrossFit so that I could get much better at running. I still do some strength work. But it doesn’t resemble CrossFit workouts in any way. CrossFit and running are not complementary forms of training. One will reduce your proficiency at the other. The research shows that concurrent training will reduce progress in each domain. A relatively small amount of aerobic training can improve strength training but the interference effect is real if you are doing significant endurance training and strength training. The interference effect goes both ways. It reduces running performance and strength gains. If hybrid training doesn’t mean anything, then it’s best to not use the term. Training should be defined by the goal of training.

I love how you compare the two without bashing either! Well done 👍🏽

Hybrid athletes' goal is to be average at both distance and lifting.

Hi Kristi- I love hybrid training. I’ve been working out consistently for 17 years and I think it also helps prevent boredom in workouts. I’m still using and ordering LMNT because of you!

I didn't realize that I was doing hybrid training already. I love Crossfit but the oly lifts are so challenging for me that I don't get enough stimulus and I absolutely love running but obviously don't get enough stimulus for that in a pure Crossfit program. I thought I was doing modified Crossfit but I guess I'm doing Hybrid training. Thanks! I enjoy your content and will check out your hybrid program.

Great video. I found that crossfit isn't for me. Oly lifts, gymnastics... it's just too complex. I was getting frustrated, and injured. I went back to traditional strength training and running, and I'm happier now.

Hybrid training is just what we used to call “fitness “. So you lift weights and you do some cardio. … nowadays everything needs a special name.

Love the video! I’ve been doing hybrid for over 15 years now, running, lifting and biking are my key ways of staying in shape. It’s also super fun to sign up for local races! Stay fit 💪🏼

Kristi you and your husband are winners , GOD Bless yall

Just not sure why we don't say cross train. Seems like we have to rebrand just to sound new.

Crossfit training is a type of hybrid training like tennis training is a type of racquet sport training. Simple.

Just another fitness fad for people to make money off. Nothing more, nothing less.

Enjoyed hearing your thought on Hybrid Training and Crossfit! Love your dog in the background!

Spartan and OCR was the original hybrid training.

what sneakers do you recommend for running and lifting?

Love this channel and your content, I have recently joined IBEX and I'm about to follow the Lift/Run program but I have few questions regarding the format, mainly the days where there are runs combined with another workout, can they be separated i.e Run AM and lift/workout PM or it should be done in the same session ? Thank you !

The message here has merit but it also confuses people. She emphasises the key togetherness. However fitness is the most individual thing ever. If you workout with someone else you’re only training their weak points and neglecting your own. However it’s down to human nature. If you need to feel that you’re better than someone else to feel “fit” then sign up. In reality you’ll only feel achievement when you set your own goal and reach it. Whatever it may be.

crossfit is a brand Hibrid training is what a cossfiter will do

not exactly relevant - but where did you get your tank top?

Wow, Kristi! You are looking very beautiful and stronger! 😍😍😍😍💪💪💪💪❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

Hybrid and hyrox are same ?

Thanks for all the great content.

As an OCR athlete, it seems to me that this term “hybrid” is just a way of naming training to prepare for obstacle races. Obstacle course races are contested by (arguably) the most well-rounded athletes on the planet, because you need to be proficient in long-distance trail running, handling heavy carries, upper body strength, among other qualities, and all in one competition.

Isn't Crossfit hybrid??

I switched to bodybuilding supplemented with Crossfit. I love both, but don't get the precision shaping like in BB. I love the engine building that CF gives, though.

Why does this girl talk so choppy and robotic

I just watched another video saying that hybrid training is not crossfit. That it’s more disciplined and focuses more on staying healthy. Not sure how true that is.

I love CrossFit but it's ridiculously expensive for what it is.

Basically. Hybrid is crossfit without the competition?

So CrossFit is less specific training and hybrid narrows down the focus?

This is great info. How has both of these types of training influenced your endurance output? Do you run easier , better or worse than before when you were smaller?

I like the way you explain each in detail.

I use to love CrossFit but it lacks of ton of diversity 😢

So hybrid training is crossFit re-marketed

I would love to see you do a CrossFit vs hyrox event and your thoughts on how they differ and are similar

if u have no goal accept to stay fit and crossfit championship..train crossfit, if u have a goal as a fighter, weighlifter,shooter,strongman, sprinter, gymnast, etc to achieve a greatness...go hibrid

Cross fit doesnt count. The whole thing doesnt make sense. The form the type of mix of excersize, nothing
