World-Class Fitness in 100 Words: An excerpt from CrossFit Journal
■ 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.

**** pull ups are STRICT pull ups – no kipping, hip drive, swinging with the bands, etc). Straight up, straight down **** If you can do 2-5 at a time, start without assistance, and then go to the bands.

As I stated before, I will be involved in training for the Mpls PD Fit Team this weekend.
This Saturday, for your WOD, I want you to run 3 – 3 1/2 miles – around one of the Lakes or along the river, parkways, etc.
TIME yourself – later in the summer we will do this again, and then in the fall. I think you will be surprised at your drop in times during the year, even though we don’t run that far on a regular basis.
For those that have shin splints from running or can’t run that far, you can pick a shorter distance – 1 mile if you need. If you need to walk, walk. If you need to crawl…well, don’t – you’ll have paramedics there pretty quickly.
