Introduction

These pages contain introductory material intended to aid in learning the movements used by CrossFit. Entire books have been written about one or two of these movements alone, so it is not feasible for the material here to be exhaustive. The intent is to create an organized collection of basic descriptions and links to find more information. Our goal is to enable beginner lifters to get started in the right direction, to answer common questions, and correct common misconceptions.
