What is Fitness?

When setting out to begin a new fitness program, it’s important to first define what fitness means to you. This can help you set specific, achievable goals and guide you in choosing the right program or training plan. It can also help you stay motivated and focused on your fitness journey, as you will have a clear understanding of what you are working towards.

For example, if you define fitness as being able to run a marathon, you may choose a training plan that focuses on endurance and long-distance running. On the other hand, if you define fitness as being able to lift heavy weights and increase strength, you may choose a training plan that focuses on strength training and weightlifting.

Overall, defining what fitness means to you can help you make the most of your training and achieve the results you desire.

Having sat down with hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people over the years to discuss fitness goals I’ve realized most people want it all. They tell me they’d like to lose lose weight, gain strength, and have better cardio. And, not surprisingly, they typically find that moving toward one goal often takes them away from the others. Additionally, if the only thing they are tracking is their weight, they tend to get discouraged early on. We hope to change that.

At the Hybrid Farm, we utilize CrossFit training to move clients toward a goal of Increasing Overall Work Capacity. This helps us deliver a fitness program that is broad, balanced, and highly effective at achieving an array of fitness goals. We incorporate skills, drills and exercises to help you improve:

• Cardio Respiratory Endurance

• Strength

• Stamina

• Flexibility

• Power

• Speed

• Coordination

• Agility

• Balance

• Accuracy

This gives us the ability to measure fitness improvements in nearly unlimited different ways: more pullups, bigger squats, faster running, higher jumping and, as common side effects, more energy, fat loss and muscle gain.
