Does Your Workout Program Work?
The article begins by discussing the importance of having a well-designed workout program. The author states that a good workout program should be tailored to your individual fitness goals, experience level, and lifestyle. It should also be challenging enough to help you improve, but not so challenging that it leads to injury.
The author then goes on to discuss some common mistakes that people make when designing their workout programs. One common mistake is to focus too much on cardio and not enough on strength training. Cardio is important for cardiovascular health, but strength training is essential for building muscle and improving bone density. Another common mistake is to do too much too soon. When you start a new workout program, it's important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts over time.
Can I do CrossFit even if I am injured?
One of the common questions that we've gotten recently, in particular, has been, "Hey, I'm hurt. Should I still come and work out?" As you know, we have a wonderful, lovely athlete who broke her foot while surfing in Costa Rica, so she's now in a boot. What can she do, especially on a day like today which is deadlift day? The class is going to start with a run, deadlift, kettlebell swings, goblet squats, not really good for someone with a broken foot. So should she even bother coming?

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words
Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J (clean and jerk), and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc., hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
