Top 5 Crossfit moves for measuring success: 1. Squat: This is strength 101. If you want to get stronger, you have to squat. Squatting is also a great way to increase mobility and overall balance. 2. Press: CrossFit movements are all about functionality, and the ability to put weight over your head is essential to life. 3. Burpee: This is 100% personal opinion here, but I feel that burpees make you better at life. I saw a great saying once that read when life pushes you down, do a burpee. 4. Thruster: While no exercise was invented by CrossFit, this metabolic and full-body move is by far the most hated—and quintessential—at the CrossFit box. 5. Pull-up: Again, the pull-up is a very functional movement. When running from zombies, you will be happy that you can now pull yourself up over something (or into a tree). Everyone knows zombies cant climb trees. Once you’ve got a list of goals, develop a precise plan of attack. For example, if you want to have 20 unbroken pull-ups under your belt, set a date for achieving that goal. Then break it down into smaller benchmark goals. To keep yourself accountable, assign dates to both short- and long-term goals. “I will have 20 unbroken pull-ups done by July 3, 2013” will yield more success than simply saying “I want to be able to do 20 unbroken pull-ups.” Once you achieve a goal, pat yourself on the back, take a deep breath and create a more challenging goal using the same methodology so that you are constantly pushing your mental and physical thresholds.
