First Post Inspiration

I am totally amazed by the stuff they do at CrossFit.  Check out this video, the woman is a monster, a true example of a lean, mean motion machine. If I, or my athletes could accomplish a third of what she does I would be very content.  I plan to visit a facility as soon as I can find one reasonably close to where I live.  (It´s a strength and conditioning facility, not a gym).



It seems that the main idea is that they concentrate on functional movements and improving the ten basic components of fitness.  Here´s a quick breakdown of the 10 components of fitness

1. Respiratory and Cardiovascular Endurance- Your ability to get oxygen where it should go in the body.

2. Stamina - Your body´s energizer bunny function, to get, keep, and use energy.
3. Strength - The force your muscles can produce.
4. Flexibility - Your rage of motion at each and every joint in your body.
5. Power- Your use of strength in a hurry, or producing force fast.

6. Speed - Your body´s ability to repeat a given motion quickly.

7. Coordination - Your capacity to combine several distinct movements into one coordinated motion.
8. Agility - How fast you can switch from one set of movements to another.
9. Balance - Your control over your body's center of gravity in relation your support base.
10. Accuracy - Your control of movements and their direction and/or intensity.
