ENDURANCE WOD

Choose ONE of the Following Sports:

Swim: 10 x 30sec Sprints all out efforts using paddles and buoy… 2 min recovery between sprints.

Bike: 10x 30sec Hill Sprints, all out efforts. Recoveries are, how long it takes you to come down the hill or 2min rest has been accrued. If you do not have a hill then use tension on a trainer or ergometer with steady/ heavy tension, 2 min Recovery between sprints. “Come into the hill at speed to maximize the 30sec sprint”

Run: 10x 30sec Hill Sprints, All out efforts. 30sec rest at top before descending hill easy, “walk if needed”. Rest 1min at the bottom of the hill before the next sprint.Treadmill use 7-10% grade, 2min recover between sprints

C2: 10x30sec Sprints all out efforts. Damper setting is choice,“Come into each sprint at speed to maximize the 30 sec sprint” 2 min recovery between sprints.

Jargon

CrossFit has a variety of protocol jargon and abbreviations that can be learned in order to make communication more efficient.
Named Work Outs

"I did Fran last night and the Thrusters in the 2nd Rd smoked me"
Named Work Outs are part of the jargon of CrossFit training.

CrossFit is a world wide community with many people linked through the WOD whether variations or HQs. Bench Mark WOs are given names so that just uttering that name will give people an understanding of whats involved and may even evoke feeling from previous WOs.

CrossFitters develop a love/hate relationship with some WOs.Women's names are used often for Bench mark WOs, probably for the same reason they are used to name hurricanes which gives you a hint to their intensity.
Male names are used as a mark of respect of fallen service men.

So get with the jargon and enjoy doing a Girl or trashing a Guy next time your in the gym.

Ongoing Incremental Progression

The focus of CrossFit Conditioning is on individual improvement and progress through efficient movement.The time,loads, Rds and performance of others should be a motivator not a goal to be beaten.
Individual participation and exposure to the experience of the Work Out is the overall goal and from which the benefits will be apparent.

Adaptations

What we’ve discovered is that CrossFit increases work capacity across broad time and modal domains. This is a discovery of great import and has come to motivate our programming and refocus our efforts. This far-reaching increase in work capacity supports our initially stated aims of building a broad, general, and inclusive fitness program. It also explains the wide variety of sport demands met by CrossFit as evidenced by our deep penetration among diverse sports and endeavors.

We’ve come to see increased work capacity as the holy grail of performance improvement and all other common metrics like VO2 max, lactate threshold, body composition, and even strength and flexibility as being correlates—derivatives, even.

We’d not trade improvements in any other fitness metric for a decrease in work capacity.

What is CrossFit?

The CrossFit protocol is designed by G&L Glassman.
We believe it is ideal base conditioning for people who are looking for a challenging yet rewarding fitness program for life or for people who actively engage in outdoor pursuits or have intense physical challenge as part of their vocation.
CrossFit produces what we believe to be a truly functional fitness level that is highly transferable to all athletic pursuits as well as daily physical tasks.
CrossFit is a foundational Core and Conditioning program that seeks to elicit as broad as adaptation response as possible utilizing training formats derived from Gymnastics, Olympic Weight Lifting, Sprinting and Combat disciplines.
Individuals within the program develop greater understanding of applying force while maximizing strength to weight ratio and functional range of movement. Enhancing individual’s competency in physical tasks by improving Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Agility, Coordination and Balance.
What results is the ability to apply strength and power in real world environments and or sports providing either a stand alone conditioning routine or a platform for sport specific performance.


What CrossFit isn’t!
We are not a Hypertrophy or Curves program centered on making you look good in underwear! (Although this may be a result)
We are not Psychiatrists!
We are not a Knitting Group!

Chasing the Power Ratio

Why we train to maximize the Power to Mass Ratio.

Power = Work/Time
Work = Force x distance

Power involves more then just this formula entails. Power is functional strength expressed in terms of acceleration, execution time or velocity in a given motor skill or kinetic chain rather then isolated exercise. Power is to generate/apply force, which requires other key areas of agility, speed, reaction and range of movement.
Increasing Power means to increase other areas of motor skill and kinetic movement such as relative strength, speed, agility and range of movement. The training of these key factors goes together to increase both Aerobic and Anaerobic capacity by focusing on the interrelated Energy Systems of the Phosphagen and Fast & Slow Glycolysis.
Regardless of your Goals increasing your power ratio will aid competency in movement and performance.

Endurance

Endurance events have a large metal aspect to them. Repetitive movement has a lasting effect on joints muscles and the mind. While training for increasing efficiency over Long distance can be achieved to an extent by effective High Intensity Formats there is an essential need for Endurance Work if planning long endurance events.
Long Slow Distance is necessary to develop efficient movement technique in your chosen discipline.Which will minimise the repetitive abuse experienced in long events.
LSD can condition the body to cope with such extended bouts of repetitive abuse.This means the little details such as clothing rub,blisters etc as well as conditioning soft tissue.
LSD can prepare you mentally for the extended duration involved.Pushing oneself or pushing together in a group through a long event can build metal determination and confidence in team mates.
Experience in such training will also expose the individual to the elements, conditions and contingencies that are often unpredictable,exposure to such experiences can be invaluable for race or emergency situations.
CrossFit is ideal conditioning for improving the speed at which you participate in endurance events by increasing strength, power, mobility etc, however endurance events require time committed to Sport specific endurance conditioning.

Core Strength and Conditioning

This phrase has a double meaning

1. The CrossFit method seeks to create a foundation base line level of fitness that has application to all athletic past times.

2. The CrossFit Method seeks to condition and strengthen the Core Muscles.
Efficient and productive human movement relies on extension and flexion of the hips and extension flexion and rotation of the trunk and torso, ”the core muscles”. These movements originate at the core and are relayed at increasing velocities to the extremities.

The CrossFit Method strengthens the Core Muscles through mixed modality cross training involving functional movement at high intensities, coupled with a core curriculum that emphasizes learning new skills and sports to assist in improving and applying their fitness conditioning.
