THE FIRST CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

There are ten recognised general physical skills. They are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, speed, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.

You are as fit as you are competent in each of these ten skills. A regimen develops fitness to the extent that it improves each of these ten skills.
Importantly, improvements in endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility come about through training.

THE SECOND CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

The essence of this model is the view that fitness is about performing well at any and every task imaginable. This model suggests that your fitness can be measured by your capacity to perform well at these tasks in relation to other individuals.

The implication here is that fitness requires an ability to perform well at all tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks combined in infinitely varying combinations. In practice this encourages the athlete to disinvest in any set notions of sets, rest periods, reps, exercises, order of exercises, routines, periodization, etc.

THE THIRD CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

There are three metabolic pathways that provide the energy for all human action.

Total fitness, the fitness that CrossFit promotes and develops, requires competency and training in each of these three pathways or engines.

Balancing the effects of these three pathways largely determines the how and why of the metabolic conditioning or “cardio” that we do at CrossFit.

Favoring one or two to the exclusion of the others and not recognising the impact of excessive training in the oxidative pathway are arguably the two most common faults in fitness training.

Are you failing to reach your goals?
Not achieving goals that you have set for yourself can be a deflating experience. When those goals are related to your health & fitness, feelings of failure and frustration can be magnified. Whilst this is often seen as a negative experience, there is a lot to be learned from failure. It is important to review your goals, your method and your results to understand how you can reach those goals next time.

One of the first things to do is ensure that you have set realistic, achievable and measurable goals. You are setting yourself up for failure if your goals are neither realistic or achievable and if they are not measurable how will you ever know if you've reached them?

Next, you have to determine the best way to achieve your goals. In relation to your health & fitness, here are a few tips: always eat fresh, healthy foods, get active, educate yourself and consider employing a health & fitness professional.

An important aspect of achieving your goals that is often overlooked is accountability. Who is going to make sure you are staying on track? Who is going to help you through the tough times? Who is going to give you a kick when you don't do the right thing? It's imperative that you have a support structure in place to help you achieve your goals. This can be your partner, a family member, a friend or perhaps a personal trainer.

Being accountable for your actions will help you reach your goals.
