Mastering Efficiency: The Core-to-Extremity Movement Theme

At CrossFit’s Level 1 and Level 2 Certificate Courses, athletes learn the foundational movement theme of “core-to-extremity,” a principle that underpins safe, efficient, and powerful movement patterns. Core-to-extremity describes the ideal sequence of force generation, starting with the midline and progressing outward to the extremities, enabling you to stabilize your spine, maximize force, and prevent injury. Movements like the clean, push press, and rowing stroke demonstrate this concept, but poor mechanics — such as early pulling or pressing — can compromise performance and safety. By focusing on proper execution and identifying common faults, you can refine your mechanics, improve efficiency, and achieve better results.
