The realm of misconceptions surrounds almost every topic from sport, art, science, history and anything else that can be thought of. Exercise and nutrition are riddled with their fair share of these fallacies as well, sometimes to a degree that provokes hate or fear of getting off the couch and off the carbs. Most of this can be accounted for by miscommunication or misunderstanding. Some is ignorance, and even tactically targeted by competitors in opposing fields.  
​
Some misconceptions have to do with whether CrossFit is safe, or what CrossFit is and is not. Some of these concerns come up when talking about the workouts; if a load is too heavy it is always better to use something manageable relatively, or use a percentage of the prescribed loading so that movements can be completed in fewer sets. Often, one workout a day with the right amount intensity is enough to gain fitness benefits from strength and conditioning. Workouts sometimes have high level skills programmed, or need specific equipment, but there are many modifications and scaled options. The program allows for flexibility and variation because CrossFit can be done almost anywhere. CrossFit is safe, effective, and efficient because is scalable for everyone regardless of age, injuries or fitness level. CrossFit is safe because the movements are natural and with a coach, can help be refined to avoid chronic disease, injury, and also refine nutrition. A big misconception is that one must be fit to start CrossFit, but actually CrossFit is a method of getting fit. 

CrossFit and the methodology has been proven to improve health and fitness through exercise and nutrition. Benefits include: increase lean muscle mass, lower body fat percentage, stable insulin, stronger bones, mental toughness, and an overall more positive psychological state. This is all accomplished through workouts that can be adjusted to meet athletes at the level they are currently at, and measuring food intake for fitness and lifestyle.

Todays workout is a couplet focused on the midline and overall stamina and cardiovascular respiratory endurance.

Most athletes will be able to complete this workout as prescribed. Sit-ups can be scaled to crunches or alternating leg raises from a laying position for athletes who have a low back injury or acute pain from full sit-ups. The ascending rep scheme mixed with a short sprint will feel fast at first but gradually settle into a more aerobic pace. Newer athletes can opt out of the ascending rep scheme per round and focus on mechanics and consistency across all round. 

The run is short and should be close to a sprint for athletes that have a background in running. For newer athletes, focus on mechanics of pulling to foot off the ground and leaning forward to gain momentum is key. The scale for this exercise is to reduce the distance and perform a brisk walk - just enough to keep out of breath for the sit-up. This is a great option for athletes that want a little less impact version of the workout. 

10-minutes of:
10 sit-ups
Run figure 8 (200-meters)

The cliché “proof is in the pudding” explains exactly why CrossFit works. Year after year the fittest athletes gather at the CrossFit Games and are tested in a deep pool (sometimes literally) of fitness modalities mixed across broad time, and challenging the ceiling for work capacity. Every year the best “movers”, the cleanest “eaters”, and most trained and prepared for the unknown and unknowable rise to the top of the field throughout the season. These athletes are what is called the tip of the spear and are sometimes unbelievable.  

Even more important is what is going on in Affiliates and garage gyms alike. Within those walls are both high levels of encouragement and challenge for the “everyday” person. The improvements and adaptations from this are not a Games title, but that of independence, quality of life, and longevity in the real world both at work and play. This is why the CrossFit Open is such a great community event to partake in. The Open is an annual test of fitness for the rest of us who are not Games bound - or may not even want to be.  

Tracking results in training and in the kitchen are important to see if the program is working. What is happening in affiliates and garage gyms is powerful, and are what really proves CrossFit methodology and legitimacy of the program.

Todays workout is a shorter more sprint style workout. The workout combines a full body exercise called the burpee with lower body exercise that is locomotive. Both exercises will double down on the legs but will work the legs in two different ways. The score for this workout is total distance covered by the walking lunges but in order to get to the lunges a 10 rep "buy-in" of burpees will need to be completed first. Athletes who can move smoothly through the burpees will have more time to lunge for more distance. With a minute of rest following each round this will keep intensity up enough and allow for almost a full recovery for the upper body for the push-up portion of the burpee. 

The burpee is a squat, crunch, push-up combo that when done for a moderate amount of reps can be a great full body metabolic conditioning exercise. If athletes have a lower body injury, this can be modified to regular push-ups. If the athlete has an upper body injury, a burpee kick-out or elevated burpee can be performed. Newer athletes should scale to a burpee kick-out to work on improving overall cycle speed and time, this will also help keep the demand of cardiovascular endurance up instead of letting stamina drain out. Remember the goal is the lunges so scaling the burpee accordingly will be the key to success. 

The walking lunge is going to test and challenge unilaterally. This means we are working on one side or the other which can be great for correcting and training muscle imbalances. The locomotive aspect of actually traveling through space will help set a visual on performance for each athlete form round to round to try and strive for or possibly even surpass. The lunges will challenge flexibility, balance, and coordination especially after following the burpees. This is where stamina should become a factor that advanced athletes will be able to continue to lunge even after their legs turn to jell-o. The rest period after each round should be long enough to loose some of the fatigue so that the burpees can be complete quickly but then the lunges will immediately be challenging. Limiting the range of motion in the descent or keeping the knee from the ground can be a good scale, or a bear crawl can be completed instead. -Note a bear crawl will challenge the upper body instead of the lower body. Sit-ups will be the substitute if there is a lower body injury.

1-minute of:
10 burpees
Walking lunge steps as far as possible, (count steps, 10 out, turn around, as many times as possible)

Below is the workout description. There is the workout written as prescribed (Rx) and a scaled version (Sc) that is lower impact. variations and modifications can be made the day of depending on ability and limitation due to a possible injury.

Todays workout is some moderate duration time intervals with built in rest for recovery and intensity. The goal is to match each rounds intensity and stay consistent. The workout is 3 rounds with three 1-minute stations. This workout can be complete on a running clock timer or with an interval timer. There is a minute of total rest between each round. This workout will challenge full body stamina and conditioning. Enough space to be able to stand up straight with some overhead clearance and floor space for push-ups is necessary. 

The first station is high knees. These will start out relatively fast but after about 20-30 second will slow down. This effect will likely follow each exercise the whole workout. Try to keep these sets in short burst with small amounts of rest as needed. 

The second station is the squat. This is an unload bodyweight squat. The goal here is smooth descent toward the bottom and full extension standing tall at the top. Squats will be challenging and close muscle groups will have been used during the high knees. 

The third station is push-ups. This exercise will give the legs a break while keeping breathing and heart rate at an elevated level. Stamina will be the limiting factor for most athletes on this so pacing the push-ups in small and manageable sets will be a good tactic. 

The fourth station is rest. 1-minute will be enough time to come close to full recovery to begin the next round. If reps are drastically lower than the first round, pacing was too fast and that is okay keep going and finish. If reps were drastically more after the previous round athletes are encouraged to push the pace as long as mechanics are maintained.

1-minute of: high knees
