Crossfit





See this site for some excellent advice about what it means to be fit and healthy. Not for the mirror muscle crowd. Something here for everyone.

The Crossfit Prescription:

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.
