The universal scalability of all movements performed, allows those in participation to always have a next step in their fitness careers. CrossFit takes the elements of olympic weight lifting, gymnastics, rowing, short distance bouts of running, throwing objects, and just about any other form of movement, and smashes them together into its high intensity/short duration bouts of metabolic activity. The methodology of CrossFit allows for individuals to make measurable strides forward within the ten fitness domains of:
1. Cardiovascular/respiratory Endurance - The ability of body systems to
gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
2. Stamina - The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and
utilize energy.
3. Strength - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular
units, to apply force.
4. Flexibility - the ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
5. Power - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units,
to apply maximum force in minimum time.
6. Speed - The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
7. Coordination - The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns
into a singular distinct movement.
8. Agility - The ability to minimize transition time from one movement
pattern to another.
9. Balance - The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of
gravity in relation to its support base.
10. Accuracy - The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a
given intensity
