CrossFit requires the strength, agility, and stamina of a gymnast, olympic weight lifter, and endurance runner all combined into one. Everyday the task at hand challenges all aspects of your fitness. Whether it be an olympic lift or doing pull-ups, the program  requests an extreme amount of body awareness. The movements chosen are functional and yield the most power, but in the same respect they are some of the toughest to perform (i.e. thrusters, the snatch, pull-ups) It takes a great deal of knowledge and self awareness to do these movements, but everyone in our gym does them well. You have to know to where your feet go, to stay on your heels, and keep that lumbar curve, but in the midst of these tiring workouts we do forget. For those of you that watch your fellow athletes workout, either before or after your done, coach them. You all should be able to recognize what is good form and what pointers can help a person move through the WODs more efficiently. Next time you come to the box, I challenge you to be the Coach.

What movement always seems to throw you off? What do you tell yourself to get through the WODs? Post it to the comments.
