The CrossFit Method:

The CrossFit method is to establish a hierarchy of effort and concern that builds as follows:

Diet - lays the molecular foundations for fitness and health.

Metabolic Conditioning - builds capacity in each of three metabolic pathways, beginning with aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine pathways.

Gymnastics - establishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion.

Weightlifting and throwing - develop ability to control external objects and produce power.

Sport - applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements and skill mastery.
