"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.
Why Journals?
Keep track of your workouts. It doesn't matter whether you use this blog, a journal like Me, or some type of excel spreadsheet, the fact remains it's easier to get where you're going if you know where you've been. You can also keep track of much more than just dates and WOD times. Mark down time of day, how your energy felt before and after based on a scale of 1-10, foods you ate, how much you slept, etc. The more the better.
Knowing how you perform based on different variables is valuable to find your personal strengths weaknesses. Get to know yourself and keep track.
