_ The WOD (Workout Of the Day) only lasted 4 minutes. By changing the stimulus, we keep the body progressing in areas of strength, power, stamina and endurance. We’re always striving to improve in all areas of fitness- short burst, heavy load, or moderate to long distance. At any time we’ll work on one, two or all three of these elements. The variation of these three domains of exercise in what makes our workouts unique. These movements can be applied in various distances and mixed with the two other elements above. Monostructural events include running, rowing, biking (not done at CFW), or swimming (we don’t have a pool). These movements would include- squat variations (back, front or overhead), press variations, deadlift, clean & jerk and snatch. Typically involving a barbell or dumbbell. Weightlifting would include movements with an external load. We can even get more challenging by going for rope climbs, burpee pull ups or muscle ups on rings or bars. These would be basics from- push ups, pull ups, squats, sit ups, and burpees. Gymnastics would be any time you’re moving your body through space.
_ What type of training do you do at CFW?ĬrossFit training includes three basic elements- gymnastics, weightlifting and monostructural exercises. Basically improving fitness in all areas- strength, endurance, agility, stamina- for any time duration- short to long.
If you’re pressed for time or just like short answers, I’d say CrossFit is all about increasing work capacity across broad time and modal domains. The CrossFit Journal article, What Is Fitness, covers this in depth.
