Fitness in 100 Words: The Only Workout Plan You'll Ever Need
This article is part of the CrossFit BC journal, written by the coaching staff who run our classes in Olympic Village, Vancouver. We publish what we teach on the floor: training decisions, recovery, nutrition, and the honest tradeoffs behind them.
Fitness in 100 Words is CrossFit's foundational fitness prescription, written by founder Greg Glassman. It describes a complete approach to health and fitness in exactly 100 words, covering nutrition, strength training, gymnastics, cardiovascular conditioning, and the importance of variety and intensity in training.
No. Every element of Fitness in 100 Words can be scaled to your current ability. At CrossFit BC, coaches modify weights, movements, and intensity for each person. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete, the prescription works because the principles are universal, only the application changes.
Most CrossFit workouts are between 5 and 20 minutes of high-intensity effort, plus warm-up and skill practice. The emphasis is on intensity over duration. Short, focused workouts performed with proper effort consistently outperform longer, lower-intensity sessions for building fitness and health.
