WHAT IS CROSSFIT?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specialising. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

Single maximum effort
Complete the CrossFit warm-up twice.

Then do some light sprint drills.

Then run 400m at 70% twice (rest between each sprint for 3-4 minutes).

Now, run for 60 seconds at maximum speed and measure how far you go.
(You should be completely spent after this final sprint.)
