What is CrossFit All About?

The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity; and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly.

1/27/08 Barbara

WOD Barbara
20 pullups
30 pushups
40 situps
50 squats
5 rounds for time.
Finished in 33:46 (about 10 minutes too long)

Wow! I can squat and deadlift over 400lbs, pullups, pushups, no big deal, but 40 situps and we have a big problem. The situps in this workout totally blew my time. I am going to start doing these at home at night. I need to get better at these.
