Why CrossFit?
It is a common misconception that heart rate is equivalent to intensity. Heart rate can be a factor contributing to intensity; however the two are not analogous.
Intensity = Power = Work / Time = (Force x Distance) / Time
CrossFit emphasizes the use of functional movements because of their unique capacity to be preformed at relatively high intensities (more work in less time). During a WOD we move relatively large loads, long distances, very quickly! You can squat, dead-lift, and push-press more weight, longer distances, in much less time than you can performing a bicep curl, lateral raise, or a leg extension.
“Intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with optimizing return.”
Increasing VO2 max, metabolizing fat, building muscle, getting stronger, and getting faster are all intensity dependent. Therefore, performing more work in less time will increase your strength, fitness, and overall health!
Relatively high intensities can only be reached through functional movements. CrossFit training demands relatively high intensities, hence our emphasis on functional exercise. How high is a relatively high intensity? The relative level of an individual’s power output is based solely upon that individual’s psychological and physical tolerance.
CrossFit forges elite fitness, but not exclusive fitness. This program is not designed to cater only to super athletes. Anyone can benefit from CrossFit training based on operating at the appropriate intensity.

Training
Why train? What good does it do us anyway! To put it simply it develops you in so many ways both physically and psychologically, the adaptation to training and the changes that are elicited transfer from what you do in the gym or your training environment to your everyday life. This transference is greatly attributed to the development of self and situational awareness and most importantly confidence. Why should life be a challenge, the only time you should feel challenged is when you put yourself to the test, life is meant to be enjoyable, so go and do yourself a favour and get active…

Work Ethic
What is your definition of work ethic and how does it relate to you as an individual and how does it affect team dynamics?
Today I chose work ethic as I feel it best encompasses what we all talk about, motivation, either internal or external and self discipline. I have listed below a number of positive and maybe not so positive effects of work ethic, read through them, then take some time and see which ones apply to you.
Desires accomplishment, determined, hard working, goal oriented, can forget to eat and sleep when focused on work, achiever, success driven, perfectionist, motivated, does things by the book, meets obligations on time, disciplinarian, planner, ambitious, responsible, purposeful, self-controlled, workaholic, over-achiever, focused, not afraid of a high stress job, likes the security of working for a company, good trouble-shooter, was mature at a young age, does not give up until the work is done, logical, wants to be capable and competent.
