The CrossFit program is wholly unique in its aims, prescriptions, methodologies, and implementation, writes Coach Greg Glassman in “Understanding CrossFit.”

In developing a fitness program, it’s important that your workout plan encompasses your total body. Sometimes people focus on just one activity for exercise, such as running, tennis, or swimming. There is nothing wrong with doing what you love–anything that keeps you moving on a regular basis is good!

We all lead busy lives, and sometimes it is hard to fit in those trips to the gym. Still, making fitness a priority is essential. Getting your exercise helps you maintain a healthy weight, keep good cardio-vascular health, and develop strong muscles which aid in preventing injury.
