These days you can find all kinds of fitness programs in books, sports magazines, and even the Internet, but no more than five good programs available for divers and four out of five are almost the same, the routines are very similar.

After making a serious investigation into what that might be the best compliance program for a diver, I found CrossFit and I think is best. Why? As defined in its Web site, CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. This program is used to train police and military departments around the world, what is more interesting, I also found that the Navy Seals use this program as a major fitness programs for their divers.

I started my research for fitness of some specialized programs in the abdominal area, because I believe the abdominal muscles are key to practice any sport at a decent level, but after reading all the information on the CrossFit program I think I was dead wrong in trying to isolate the abdominals in the rest of the body. The human body is a impressive structure of interconnected systems, so why try to train only isolated areas of the body. You will find that most fitness programs for divers divide the exercises in the upper body, lower body and abdominals, the majority of authors books on diving fitness suggests that such routines.

CrossFit is a program that will surely help any diver to reach a physical level by above average, it is not a specialized or focused fitness program, I think it will be easy to continue with the program, it is not the same routine week after week. Normally most of us begin new routines with all the enthusiasm in the world, but (here comes the big but) in the same way that the week of eating the same food each day, or going to be boring at some point, fitness routines are not very interesting after a few weeks of it.

CrossFit offers a surprising combination of exercises designed to improve the condition of your body in ten different areas: cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy.

Like a diver in good shape you will reduce the air (or mixture) consumption, increase his strength back, minimize or eliminate the cramping in the feet and calves, and also really enjoy their time scuba dive.

As a final note, I am not affiliated in any way with CrossFit, I found that this is a select group of people who are getting all the benefits of this program physics, and just want to spread the word.
