Endurance

Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance is the first of the 10 components of complete fitness. We define it as the ability of the body systems to gather, process, and transport oxygen.  We often joke with each other "Where's the cardio?" while gasping for the thin mountain air around us.  Our prescription for constantly varied, functional exercise performed at high intensity works. 

We will be conducting a more formal endurance program in the near future.  The first step is building up to 4-6 normal CrossFit Workouts per week, then adding 4-6 endurance workouts.  It's okay to mix and match, but the first step is building strength.  CrossFit brings balance to your weaknesses, which makes you a better athlete in whatever endeavor you choose.

Doing only endurance workouts wastes muscle mass.  Build strength, and stretch the endurance simultaneously.  You CAN have it all!
