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.

Today I did a 3 event workout, all of them at a very easy pace. I started the day with a 45 minute bike. I rode on a Greg Lemond spin bike. My bike is gone to Louisville. I then did a 15 minute tread mill run at 8 minute pace. It was easy and my heart rate never got above 130 BPM. I hope that is a good sign! I then did lunch and some work before heading home. On the way I stopped at the fleet rec 50m pool for some easy laps. I did 300m free, 4x50m lt/rt (left hand only/right hand only), 300m free, 4x50m tips (dragging my fingers tips on the water as I recover), 300m free, 4x50m catchups, 300m free, done. I did 1800 meters total. All of these workouts were done at an easy pace just to keep my body loose.

Tomorrow morning Lisa and I are heading to Louisville so I'll be blog from the event sight tomorrow night. YEAH!!

Have a great day!!
