The central tenets of CrossFit are constantly varied functional movements, done at high intensity.  What exactly does it mean to exercise with intensity?  We have used the analogy of junkyard dogs, tigers, and even sharks to explain.  The animal kingdom once again provides an excellent example of what intensity means.

A mama squirrel gets ready to open a can of whoop-ass when a dog pounces on her baby. 
When  you hear 3-2-1 go you should be ready to attack!!

Do YOU have the squirrel-like intensity  when needed to take on a challenge bigger than yourself?

Sometimes you just have to dig in with everything you have and hold on!

Never underestimate the small, but powerful when they come at you with everything. 
Sometimes you win just by enduring to the buzzer.
