Workout of the dayComplete as many rounds as possible in 45-minutes of: 800-meter run 10 Deadlifts 800-meter run 50 sit-ups W: 215lb M: 315lb The first part of this workout to notice is the duration of 45-minutes. This is a long time domain. Now take a look at the amount of running per round. That is 1-mile total. Consider your mile time and then add a few minutes to it. That how much time you have to work on the deadlifts and sit-ups. The third part of this workout is the deadlift. The deadlift is heavy but low to moderate reps if you can get a few rounds in. Scale this load to something you can do 10 unbroken reps when fresh and expect that after a 800-meter run that it will likely take 2-3 sets or even fast singles. A load that is not appropriate for this workout is a load so heavy that you have to wait a while after the run to start lifting, or the breaks between sets are long, almost to point of full recovery. Run a pace that allows you to grab and go. Use a load that doesn't leave you waiting to be fresh to lift. Sit-ups. Nice. These will be sneaky, running requires a lot of stabilization and unilateral work through the hip. The deadlift is similar but with both legs and hip extension focused. What the these exercises do not have, the sit-up will, and there is a moderate to large amount of them. Workout at home45-minutes of:

It also explains the wide variety of sport demands met by CrossFit as evidenced by our deep penetration among diverse sports and endeavors.” CrossFit is used by many professional sports teams, athletes, and college strength and conditioning programs. Elite athletes going to the Olympics from sports like weightlifting to cross country skiing use CrossFit for its general physical preparedness benefits and transfer of skill and power. Military and first responders often incorporate the programming for the same reason as well as the proven benefits for the physical and mental capacity to deal with stress. The CrossFit Games competitors alone proves CrossFit’s ability to get a great physique can be achieved with hard work while chasing higher levels of performance and health.
The goal was to be recognized as the best way to be all around good, and this has been proven and respected by the fitness community as a whole. The story still stands the if all the different facets of fitness were thrown into a hopper and enough of them were pulled out the CrossFitter would be most likely to adapt and perform those skills, only, being beaten by the specialist that trains their whole life for that one event. It has been said that it doesn’t matter what you are doing, CrossFit can make you better. Workout of the daySnatch 3-3-3-3-3 reps Workout at homeEvery minute on the minute for 12-minutes of:

This is a discovery of great importance and has come to motivate our programming and refocus our efforts.”Fitness is work capacity and performing constantly varied functional movement at high intensity improves work capacity. For this reason, anything that leads to a decrease in work capacity is not favorable as it does not make you fitter, nor healthier. This has only proven that constantly varied functional movement at high intensity are the driving factors for health.
The practices that work for elite athletes work and have a dramatic effect on the general population that that have common goals to lose weight, build muscle, grow stronger bones, and fight off chronic disease. The degree of intensity may look different, but movements that are natural like standing from a couch has many similar characteristics with a deep receiving position in a snatch, rather than classic split session of 60-minute aerobic machine sessions and bicep curls and triceps extensions that use to be the standard a few decades ago. CrossFit works and it shows in how the fitness industry has had to keep up and mimic the foundational principles of the program. All of which is good as getting up and moving always outweighs the risk of not. The blending of these apparently opposite ends, being strength and conditioning, is where the most benefits come across all training levels. Specialist are very good at their facet of training, and often should be, however a truly fit person will be constantly working on closing gaps in their experience. With so many newer gyms and groups utilizing the formula of fitness and CrossFit directly or indirectly, CrossFit still stands out as the professional program that leads to longevity in performance and health alike.
