Why CrossFit?

Here's a link to 'What is Fitness?' by Greg Glassman. It outlines some key ideas we discuss in this episode, including the 10 general physical skills, fitness in 100 words, and the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum https://journal.crossfit.com/article/what-is-fitness 

I also mentioned the documentary about the 2008 (not 2009) games, Every Second Counts, but couldn't find a free link. It’s on Youtube for about £3 if you're interested in a bit of CrossFit history!
