Constantly varied: No recognizable routine or pattern to the order of training or the selection of movements. To develop a body that is physically prepared for the unknown and unknowables of life, we must implement a training program the mirrors the goal. We view routine as the enemy and embrace randomness. Functional movement: Movements that are inherent in nature. They are effective and, more im
portantly, efficient. They are safe, even at post maximal loads. High intensity: This is relative to the individual and subjective. That is why we scale (reps, distance, time, load, etc.). To ensure that every individual doing the WOD is getting a high intensity workout, relative to their current level of work capacity and tolerance, using the same movements. We scale intensity, we don’t modify the routine. What is the goal of CrossFit? Increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. Work capacity: The ability to do work (force x distance). Therefore; increased work capacity obviously means the ability to do more work (more than you could before). Broad time domain: In relation to work capacity, the ability to do more work no matter how long the duration…or the ability to do more work in a given amount of time. Broad modal domain: In relation to work capacity, the ability to do more work no matter.
