Taking Responsibility Part II

Part I of Taking Responsibility (of your CrossFit fitness) was about taking responsibility of your warmup. Part II is about understanding the basics of “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.” - Coach Glassman “World Class Fitness in 100 Words”

Why do you think Coach Glassman went through the effort of defining “World-Class Fitness” in just 100 words? Do you think it was his attempt at defining fitness all within one breath of air? Perhaps the “100 words” was just coincidental when creating his elevator pitch for this new CrossFit program. I highly doubt either of those reasons. The most logical reason he created the famous “100 words” is because he wanted to demonstrate how simple “World-Class Fitness” really is.

World Class Fitness is not as complicated as most people make it out to be. World Class Fitness is mastering the basics of a diet that supports performance, functional movements, and constant variety of these movements. In looking at 100 words above, do you find yourself challenged by the definition? Anything in there that you are overlooking in search of a more complex solution? Sometimes the solutions to your problems can be found right in front of you.
