It has become tradition for CrossFit communities to gather each Memorial Day and complete a grueling workout called “Murph.” It is arguably the most famous hero WOD and consists of 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, and 300 squats sandwiched between a pair of one-mile runs.

Incorporating more movement in your everyday activities will pay bigger dividends than a fancy new program.

I recently shared a few of my go-to programs for endurance and strength. When combined, these programs will take you about an hour a day for six days a week. But what you do with the other 162 hours of your week makes a big difference, too.

You read that right. Forget perfect form. I’m here to tell you “perfect” is a myth. Leave that perfect squat with Santa Claus. We’re going to get real here.
 
Before you rush to the bottom to tell me how wrong I am or how dangerous that is, let’s explore why there can’t be a perfect squat, deadlift, or anything else. I’ll introduce you to a more effective way to ensure that you’re moving safely, helping you prevent injury and increase resiliency.
