World-Class Fitness in 100 Words

-  Eat meant 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, clean and jerk, 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, ect, hard and fast.

-  Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patters as creativity will allow.  Routine is the enemy.  Keep workouts short and intense.

-  Regularly learn and play new sports.

This was taken from the Crossfit prescription and training guide.  Erin and I have found that this has been a good approach for our workouts and keeps our bodies guessing.  We have been improving our strength, conditioning, flexibitly, power and stamina.  Our measurements will be up friday, wish us luck!!!!
