“I just want to lift a barbell over my head again.” Did I really just say that? It had been four months since my last CrossFit workout, and I was beginning to realize just how much I missed the simple—but never easy—challenge of picking up heavy things, not to mention…

Of all the TEN general physical skills: flexibility has the most potential to limit the other nine. Think about it. If you have limited joint range of motion, your ability to produce strength, speed, power, coordination, etc is limited. Conversely, if you have full range of motion, your ability to express your full potential in all the other nine skills becomes simply a matter of training.

1. cardiovascular/respiratory endurance

2. stamina

3. strength

4. flexibility - The one that can limit them all. OR UNLEASH THEM!

5. power

6. speed

7. coordination

8. agility

9. balance

10. accuracy

So, regularly work on your mobility. I mean every day. Don’t be dysnormal.

the TEN physical skills

In CrossFit, we recognize ten general physical skills. They are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. You are as fit as you are capable in each of these ten skills. 

  1. Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance - The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
  2. Stamina - The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy.
  3. Strength - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.
  4. Flexibility - the ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
  5. Power - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply maximum force in minimum time.
  6. Speed - The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
  7. Coordination - The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.
  8. Agility - The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.
  9. Balance - The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base.
  10. Accuracy - The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.
