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.

It's not about the workout, It's about the effort,.... that will change lives

Everyday CrossFitters are going to the point of uncomfortableness and smashing through it. Overcoming challenges, obstacles, circumstances, and predetermined limits on a daily basis. Comparing what we do in the gym to anything else that can come up in life is almost comical. You don’t like your boss? An average person would deal with it, pushing his/her emotions deep down and keep the 9-5 job they hate for their entire life. All the while buying lottery tickets, taking prescription drugs, and dreaming of an easy way to a “better” life. What would the CrossFitter do? Probably figure out how to do their boss’s job better than he/she, open their own business, and smash their old bosses company into the ground. Because CrossFitters know they are in control of their fate, they do not make excuses and they know how to get things done,….. so that is what happens, period.

Take control my people, …. and always look up
