In general, CrossFit seeks to train athletes to achieve functional fitness (fitness that is useful and helps you to get things done), by incorporating exercises that train the 10 distinct aspects of fitness: Strength, Speed, Agility, Accuracy, Power, Balance, Flexibility, Endurance, Stamina, and Coordination. In summary: Strength, Quality of Movement, and Conditioning.
CrossFit is a functional strengthening and conditioning program that uses constantly varied functional movements performed at high levels of intensity. By “functional,” we mean getting fit and strong in the movements that everyday life demands, moving and working in the ways that the human body is meant to perform.
