http://www.focusedtrainers.com/ee_test/index.php/services/crossfit CrossFit is a program designed to elicit as broad an adaptational response as possible. It is a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of ten recognized fitness domains - endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. The CrossFit Program was developed to enhance an individual's competency at all physical tasks. Clients are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse, and randomized physical challenges. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. en info@focusedtrainers.com Copyright 2008 2008-08-14T15:59:00-08:00 http://www.focusedtrainers.com/ee_test/index.php/services/crossfit_details/cf_8_15_08/ http://www.focusedtrainers.com/ee_test/index.php/services/crossfit_details/cf_8_15_08/#When:15:59:00Z Click to enlarge Okay....seriously?!
