What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

Air Squat - The King of All Exercises

From CF One World:
A good air squat leads to solid lifts under load. Solid lifts under load increase midline stability. Midline stability increases one's ability to better manipulate one's own bodweight through space (gymnastics).... The list goes on and on. Simply speaking, a good air squat will make you stronger, faster, and fitter. Everything we do ties into everything else, but the air squat is The King!
