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?"

**** well, that sucked.  :-).  Came back from 800m at 3:20. Felt good. Tries to go easy as running is not my forte and knew I'd just die.  Wall balls. Did 30/10 then 5's all way to 100. With quick breath in between. Back started up. 400m run, back really was right.  Clean and Jerks , I had to do singles cause my neck, but honestly, back was on fire so much that singles might have been only route. 
Burpee BJ weren't bad. Actually started to get wind back.
