This month we introduce six new beauties, “Isabel, Jackie, Karen, Linda, Mary, and Nancy.” You will certainly be seeing them in the lineup.
We figured these six benchmarks were as good as any to demonstrate our concept of scalability. Here we offer versions of those workouts that have been “tuned down” in intensity and had exercises substituted to accommodate any audience.
Exercising without any regard to nutrition is similar to only having “one oar in the water.” Sound nutrition, obtained from a high-quality diet in optimal quantities—as determined by the individual—provides the necessary foundation for continued progress and maximum adaptations.
there is a strong consensus among scientists that our
heritage is deeply rooted in both climbing and bipedalism, i.e., both swinging from the trees and functioning on
two feet.
Handstands, hand walking, and pressing to the handstand are critical exercises to developing your athletic potential and essential components to becoming fit.
An introduction to the ongoing diet wars.
The design and crafting of workouts is CrossFit’s primary concern. Factors like impact, motivation, perception, recovery, and timing combine with decades of experience seasoned by luck and intuition to create our daily fare, the “Workout of the Day”.
We see the bulk of human action as being composed of a limited number of irreducible fundamental movements. These fundamental movements we call functional. They include, but are not limited to, squatting, deadlifting, cleaning, lunging/running/walking, jumping, throwing, climbing, and pressing.
Interesting, intelligent, useful information about the pull-up is not easy to come by.
