Constantly Varied. Functional. Intense. Fitness.
What is CrossFit?
CrossFit is defined as: Constantly varied functional activities executed at high intensity over broad time and modal domains. I know what you are thinking... What does this mean? Constantly varied: always different, always changing, and as a result, you never get bored! Functional activities: every fitness program today is claiming to be "functional”, but what does that truly mean? In CrossFit, functional means the movement is “organic”- or can be found in nature. For example, a dead lift- we dead lift things every day- when you pick your child up off the floor, you are completing a dead lift. High intensity: this means we are working HARD. No hanging out at a specific heart rate or MET (metabolic output). CrossFit is referring to the fact that you are working your hardest. Broad time: some days your WOD will last as little as two minutes all the way up to two hours. This is very much a part of the “constantly varied” portion of the definition, as you are challenging the energy systems in your body to different demands daily. Modal domains: this is referring to what type of movement you are completing- whether it is a pull up, power clean, or row, there are endless options, and we must be ready for them all! Overall, CrossFit is preparing us for anything life could spit out.
