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.

Consistency
One often important aspect of success in any endeavour is consistency.

We often know what to do, how to do it, when to do it and why. And we often actually do it every once in a while. But just as often we don't make a habit of it and don't do it consistently. What it is doesn't really matter, the theory still remains the same; if you don't do that something consistently then you are failing to gain the full benefit of whatevet it is.

It may be an exercise.
It may be a dietary habit.
It can be anything you deem important enough to practice in order to improve.

Approaching your endeavours in a consistent manner builds confidence. If you know things are going to happen the same way over and over then you can be confident of the outcome. Whether we are talking about lifting, running or non-exercise activities consistency will bring about results.

Thanks to Peter at the VWA for inspiring this article.
