Functional Movements

The CrossFit method uses constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity.

I use the CrossFit method to train my athletes(we are all ahtletes here) because I am absolutely convinced it is the best, most efficient method for increasing overall fitness. You will not get stronger, faster, better more efficiently with any other method.

What are functional movements?

Functional movements are prehistoric and natural. They are the movements required for independent living -(squatting, sitting up, pulling yourself up). Functional movements are multi-joint and elemental and involve a core to extremity wave of muscular contractions. In other words....functional movements are the way our bodies are designed to work. All of the muscles and nerves working together to perform the actions that life requires. We do not isolate muscles and train them one at a time...they need to work as a team! Life requires that our muscles, nerves and joints work together to perform tasks. At Crossfit that is the way we train them.
