In last week’s article we introduced the basis for my approach to health & fitness based on CrossFit methodology, namely that there are 10 recognized general physical skills: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. You are as fit as you are competent in each of these 10 skills. A regimen develops fitness to the extent that it improves each of these 10 skills. In the next couple of weeks, we are going to dive deeper into the yesodos (fundamentals) of this platform and hope to give a greater understanding of why I favor certain methods while purposely neglecting others. Much of this information is taken from the CrossFit Journal.
