CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. We are not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in 10 fitness domains: Cardiovascular and Respiratory endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy. CrossFit was developed to enhance an individual's competency at all physical tasks. CrossFit Run A Muck emphasizes "constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement." Functional movements are natural, effective, and efficient. The exercises we practice are applicable to everyday life. From moms and dads to elite athletes, our program is for everyone, of all ages.
CrossFit is many things. Primarily, it's a fines regimen developed by Coach Greg Glassman over several decades. He was the first person in history to define fitness in a meaningful way (increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains). CrossFit itself is defined as that which optimizes fitness (constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity). CrossFit is also the community that spontaneously arises when people do these workouts together. In fact, the communal aspect of CrossFit is a key component of why it's so effective.
CrossFit is not easy and it's not simple. To be fit and physically competent to handle all of the challenges in life is no small endeavor. As you work to become a fitter and healthier person, you will need to learn about:
Movement- How to move safely and effectively.
Fitness- What it means to be fit. Its definition, the supporting theories, and how to go about attaining it in real life.
Nutrition- Eat meats & vegetables, nuts & seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise, but not body fat.
Education is a big part of CrossFit. When you start, you are not expected to have the knowledge you need.
CrossFit is an education about movement, fitness, nutrition, and community. All of these things require responsibility, common sense, and work to educate oneself using all the tools available in the community. We are here to help!!
