The truth is, there’s no explicit approach to living a fitness lifestyle, and the best advice I can give is to do what compels you. At Fulcrum Fitness, we strive to teach personal and technical mastery in our classes and programs, which is why we are introducing the three Standards of Fitness, as defined by the Circular Strength Training® philosophy. This is a way to begin a new or redefine the old way of leading a fitness lifestyle.
CST Standards of Fitness©
- 1. Work capacity to sophistication to specificity to flow
- Fitness is the ability to recruit maximal-joint efficiency to move through multiple planes of motion with greater and greater ease compared to previous attempts.
- 2. The expedient ability to acquire efficiency in new skills, and more importantly to innovatively create new skills
- Skill refers to a physical motoric, structural and respiratory tool, which accomplishes a task.
- In contrast to conventional fitness standards, which state that the mere repetition, volume, load, intensity, frequency, etc. of rote skill determines one’s fitness, CST posits that it is the elusive role of innovation, adaptation and improvisation, which affords victory in any task.
- 3. Effective ratio of restorative forces to work forces
- CST defines fitness as the ability to perform at any time. It approaches training and practice with pre-incorporated restorative methods, so that ‘down time’ is minimized, if not negated. In other words, daily activities themselves become an extension of your training and practice.
This month, we will be kicking off the first Kettlebell boot camp designed to fulfill these standards, and introduce more CST philosophy. Stay tuned for more on how our KB program design takes you to new heights of personal and technical mastery.
