What does this actually mean?
First, CrossFit is a fitness program that deliberately optimizes 10 recognized fitness domains: respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.
Constantly Varied:
There is a different workout to perform EVERY DAY. This is referred to as the Workout of the Day, or WOD. Routine is the enemy. Variety works!
Functional Movements:
These may include multiple variations of gymnastics exercises, bodyweight calisthenics, plyometrics, Olympic weightlifting and metabolic (cardiovascular) conditioning. We concentrate on complex, full-body movements that are athletic in nature.
High Intensity:
Simply put, most of the CrossFit movements require a consistent, coordinated, and powerful execution of FORCE. (Power is a result of amount of work produced over a specific time).
Universally Scalable:
CrossFit can be fine tuned to accommodate a wide variety of participants from novice to advanced across all age groups. Note: Don’t be intimidated by the videos on the site. Get excited! Get motivated!
