10 Physical Skills

10 General Physical Skills are; cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy.  Someone who claims to be fit would need to be competent in each of the areas above.  While we all have weaknesses our goal should be to have some level of competency in each of the areas listed above.  

The Hopper; fill a hopper with several different physical challenges. Examples, run a 10k, max deadlift, carry or drag a heavy weight a long distance, dig a hole, build a sandbag wall, the more varied the task the better.  Pick 3 tasks out randomly.  How does your fitness regime prepare you for those tasks?  Real life isn’t 3 sets of 10 or 30 min ao the treadmill at 5.6 mph and a 4% incline.  (courtesy CrossFit Inc.)
