How to achieve world class fitness!!

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.

Travel Day

The day started early at 0550. Mike G. and I went for an early crossfit workout at Crossfit Ft. Walton Beach. The workout looked pretty easy until I actually did it. The workout was 3 rounds for time of: 10 power cleans, 10 burpees. I did the power cleans at 135lbs. I'm thinking that I might have been able to do more but I don't want to over do it. My time was 5:25 and I think I laid on the floor at least that long recovering. It was an ass-kicker!!

On the way back to the hotel, I had Mike drop me off a few miles away. I then ran a bit to warm up before starting a crossfit endurance workout. Here is what I did on the way back to the hotel. 1 min on/1 min off, 1 min on/50 sec off, 1 min on/ 40 sec off, 1 min on/30 sec off, 1 min on/20 sec off, 1 min on/10 sec off, 1 min on/20 sec off....back to 1 min on/50 sec on, 1 min on/finish. This was just icing on the cake for my ass-kicking morning. Here is the total distance I covered: 1.91 miles @ 5:46 per mile.
