THE FIRST CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

There are ten recognised general physical skills. They are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, speed, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.

You are as fit as you are competent in each of these ten skills. A regimen develops fitness to the extent that it improves each of these ten skills.
Importantly, improvements in endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility come about through training.

THE SECOND CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

The essence of this model is the view that fitness is about performing well at any and every task imaginable. This model suggests that your fitness can be measured by your capacity to perform well at these tasks in relation to other individuals.

The implication here is that fitness requires an ability to perform well at all tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks combined in infinitely varying combinations. In practice this encourages the athlete to disinvest in any set notions of sets, rest periods, reps, exercises, order of exercises, routines, periodization, etc.

THE THIRD CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

There are three metabolic pathways that provide the energy for all human action.

Total fitness, the fitness that CrossFit promotes and develops, requires competency and training in each of these three pathways or engines.

Balancing the effects of these three pathways largely determines the how and why of the metabolic conditioning or “cardio” that we do at CrossFit.

Favoring one or two to the exclusion of the others and not recognising the impact of excessive training in the oxidative pathway are arguably the two most common faults in fitness training.

Why do you exercise?
Have you ever really thought about why you exercise?

Do you do it to keep fit? How about to lose weight? Do you exercise because you think you should? Is it a vanity thing? Perhaps you're an athlete and it's a requirement?

There's no right or wrong reason why you exercise, but thinking about your motivation will go a long way to helping you achieve your goals.

Think about it this way - how can you reach your goals if you don't know what is motivating you to put in the effort in the first place? You can take this approach to almost anything important in your life - your job, your hobbies, your relationships...



So, why do you exercise? (Take a moment to think it through.)

Once you determine the reason for all the effort that you are putting in, you can assess if your current training is adequate, applicable and worthwhile. You can make a plan to reach you goals (one that will work because it has meaning) and you can achieve those goals.
