I’m Back!

After a long hiatus, I have returned to the world of blogging.  I have purged a lot of old posts from this blog but kept some of the ones that I do not want to recreate.

My thought of the day is What is CrossFit?  CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity.

Functional movements are unique in their ability to move large loads, long distances quickly.  In other words, they can express more power than their non functional counterparts.  Power is exactly equal to Intensity.  Intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate of return on favorable adaptations.  Variance is the mechanism by which we create a fitness that is broad, general and inclusive to increase our general physical preparedness.  Variance allows us to expand the margins of our experience.

The definition is elegant in its simplicity but rich in meaning.
