Stamina is not just about grit; it’s a measurable, cellular asset that directly impacts your health and longevity. In this episode, we dive deep into the science behind true endurance, going beyond the sweat and tears of a grueling WOD. We break down the two key physiological markers—VO₂ max and Lactate Threshold (LT)—that act as a window into your metabolic health. Discover how our CrossFit methodology is uniquely designed to spark a "cellular revolution," building more efficient power plants (mitochondria) and turning on your body’s master switches for energy. You'll learn how this type of training is scientifically linked to adding years to your life and more life to your years, making stamina a life-long asset for everyone, from elite athletes to grandparents.

In this episode of the 5 Star Fitness Quickcast, the coaches at CrossFit Fargo tackle a critical question: In CrossFit we don't negotiate on Range of Motion (ROM)... but do you?

We challenge listeners to confront the excuses they use—from old injuries to stiffness—to justify cutting reps or avoiding full depth.

Learn how to stop working around your limitations and start working on them, with clear guidance on how your coach can help you safely and deliberately advance your mobility.
