Merry Christmas First Blog for CrossFit Elevation

Merry Christmas everyone!

What is fitness?

How do we define fitness?

Is it a person who can run 26 miles but can't jump on to a 20" box?

Is it a guy who can deadlift 1000 lbs but can't run a mile?

Is there a difference between fitness and wellness?

Have you ever heard of General Physical Preparedness(GPP)?

CrossFit will train you for GPP. CrossFit does not specialize.

Do you have a weakness in your GPP? Yes! Most certainly, we all do.

CrossFit will expose that to you.

What are functional movements?

Do you squat to get on and off your toilet?

Is that functional?

So many questions!
