I recently stumbled upon this intriguing blog post by Seth Godin. Seth discusses how foraging animals exhaust the nuts and berries in a small area and then randomly walk to a new site and start foraging again. This foraging pattern is described mathematically as a "Lévy Flight." The Lévy Flight describes a random walk which after a large number of steps the distance from the origin tends towards a stable distribution. As you see in the picture, small clusters form around the starting point but none of the clusters is particularly far from the origin. There is a sort of localized and stabilized randomness to the pattern.Naturally, I began to think of this as it might apply to fitness.

Do you have friends you think should try CrossFit? Do you often hear excuses like: "Brooklyn's too far!" and "CrossFit's scary!"? Well, here's a great opportunity for you to give your more timid acquaintances a friendly, convenient little taste of CrossFit! (Or, if you're the one who's been hesitating, now's your chance to get in on the action!)

What Next? Add Weight and Refine.
After people are moving with a modicum of proficiency, give them a little weight. Coaching and teaching is a refinement process. Nobody gets it right on the first try. If they do, then make them do Fran and see if they still get it right. We must get people moving. Then we can get them moving better.
