World-Class Fitness in 100 Words




*
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.*Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.*Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.*Regularly learn and play new sports.—
Greg Glassman, founder of CrossFit "What is Fitness?"

Notes: Stretched between each set of shoulders...by the end, shoulders felt good, a lot looser. Going to stretch tonight also, and try and keep them loosening up. Squats felt good. Only issue is the grip, and wrist with Front Squats (which i normally have). Have to get wrists a little more flexible for that motion.

PM WORKOUT:
TENNIS!!! =) - Had me covering nearly 3 courts on my side, so def got in a good session and broke a good sweat!

This is how the end of my day looked on FitDay =)
