Articulate CrossFit's definition of fitness and health, and their relationship -
ANS Fitness- Work Capacity across broad time and modal domains.
R
Health- Fitness definition through out life.
HE
Articulate how technique affects work accomplished and energy expended -
ANS technique maximizes the work completed and minimizes the energy
G
expended.
HI
Articulate the benefits of eating high-quality foods - ANS less refined and
G
avoids highly processed carbs and is consistent with the CF prescription and
modern foods are ill suited to our genetic compostition.
IN
Articulate the benefits of the GHD foundational exercises - ANS Develops
Y
kinesthetic awareness/body control. Develops communication/language of
L
flexion, extension. Not training under load builds athletic confidence; think
F
mechanics, consistency, then intensity.

awareness and measurable, observable, and repeatable

Tension
-Obesity
-Hyperglycemia
R
-Glucose
E

HI
Articulate the effects a highly refined and processed carbohydrate diet can have
G
on health - ANS Can put you at risk for hyper-insulinism
N
Articulate the factors included in the charter—mechanics, consistency, and
I
intensity—and know how to apply them to a client - ANS Mechanics-
Y
physics of movement
L
Consistency- practice
F
Intensity- power
Teaching constant technique to produce power.
Articulate the foundational GHD exercises used in CrossFit and how to perform
them - ANS Hip extension- posterior position, hip in front of the pad, allows
full ROM hip flexion/extension; dynamic hips, static trunk.
