“What Is CrossFit?” Part 5: Ready State

“CrossFit, by design, is what we call a ready state program,” explains Seminar Staff Flowmaster Chuck Carswell.

“To reach the ready state, you have to address your weaknesses systematically, whether they include a lack of strength, poor endurance, chronic back pain or a severe knee injury. CrossFit is the perfect way to deal with any deficiency because it’s all about eliminating weaknesses. By forcing yourself to break down barriers to performance, CrossFit will move you closer to the ready state and the elite fitness that comes with it.” (CrossFit Journal, 2009).
