Warming up is important to a good training session. The purpose it the warm up it to prepare the body for strenuous exercise. Warming up joints and tissue helps people move better.
A warm up should also reinforce movement patterns and give people a chance to develop flexibility.
Another crittical component to the warm up it practicing the movements that will be done in the WOD. Many times short sets and teaching progressions help further prepare the athlete for the workout.
The skills set component is also where sensible scaling on loading should take place. If someone come in really isn't comfortable with the weight, this is their opportunity to change weights to something more manageable.
Pre/Post - Many people come in early before training. This time should be used to foam roll and stretch. After the WOD, foam rolling and stretching are important to recovery.

Why we choose CrossFit
- Why CrossFit?Why do we do CrossFit?
Who really relies on the results of their fitness to preserve their lives? Soldiers, Police and Fire fighters.
What is being adopted throughout the Special Forces communities, Secret Service, US Marshals, FBI, ATF and many other people who rely on fitness to preserve their lives? CrossFit.
When it comes to an endeavor where being weak costs you your life, they do CrossFit.
Most of us do not require that level of fitness in our daily lives. Why train this hard? If you look at a continuum when on one side is residing in a nursing home and the other end the decathlete (Or similar well rounded capable individual), ask this simple question: Which place do I want to be in?
Time, aging, and lifestyle conspire to put us in long term care homes and alike. The harder we pull toward the elite side of the continuum, the less close we are to the nursing home. If teaching a 57 year old women to dead lift 200 plus pounds seems extreme, think of the grandmother who can't pick up her #20 grandson. Which place do you want to be in?
Very few of us will get to the level of being on the CrossFit website for some outstanding physical feat. We CAN all work diligently to achieve the best effort and results our age and ability allow us to achieve.
All the training we do at HyperFit USA uses CrossFit principles as the basis of our programming.
Why?
Our goal is to create people who are capable in ALL aspects of fitness. The results and methods are shown on our blogs and in our videos.
When the SEAL Teams and Special Forces adopt Swiss balls as a major tool to keep them alive when it counts, I will buy them. Until that time, we will do CrossFit.
