Do you have the strength to climb out of a ditch? Can you outrun a potential attacker? Can you scale the basement stairs while carrying a basket of laundry?

GPP = general physical preparedness

A baseball pitcher, for example, needs to practice drills to increase throwing speed. Soccer players practice footwork and agility drills.

CrossFit’s aim is to forge a broad, general, and inclusive fitness that will prepare trainees for any contingency — not only the unknown, but the unknowable. This fits right in line with Siff’s definition of GPP as balanced physical conditioning. CrossFit even precisely names and defines 10 general physical skills in which we strive to gain balanced capacity. They are: cardiorespiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, accuracy, agility, and balance.

Ultimately, in CrossFit, our performance in as many different physical challenges as possible defines our fitness. This ability to accomplish tasks can be precisely measured using simple tools like a stopwatch, scale, or measuring tape, and provides a clear picture of our GPP.
