CrossFit Acronyms

First of all, what’s an acronym??  Second, why do we care what CrossFit acronyms are?  According to the Merriam and the Webster, an acronym is a word formed from the first letters of each one of the words in a phrase.  CrossFit loves acronyms or bunching letters together to make it faster to say, because CrossFit is all about more work, faster!  This is an effort to make WOD titles and descriptions shorter.  Understanding these abbreviations may help you understand your workout a little easier.   This is a rundown of some that you might see at Morrisville Community CrossFit.
