"R U XFIT?": December 2009

"What is CrossFit?"

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

CrossFit Quotes

"We don't have the agility of gymnasts, the power of a weightlifter, or the endurance of a marathoner but we have more agility, power, and endurance than any gymnast, weightlifter or marathoner. We do your stuff almost as good as you, you can’t do our stuff at all and we do stuff neither of us does way better than you can." --Coach Glassman

"Those who do not recognize the physiological import of CrossFit - unprecedented increases in work capacity across broad time and modal domains - are left with no rational explanation of CrossFit's popularity and reach. For these people I am typically seen as a marketing savant whose marketing strategies curiously won't replicate. It's like a blind guy wondering why everyone hangs out under lights at night." --Coach Glassman

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.

ZONE Rules for Dining Out

- Never eat the rolls. If you're going to eat carbohydrates, save it for dessert.
- Always choose a low-fat protein entre and ask to replace any starches or grains with extra vegetables.
- While waiting for dinner, have a glass of water.
- If the low-fat protein you order is significantly larger than the size of your palm, take the excess home.
- Determine whether the carbohydrates on your plate are favorable or unfavorable. If you're eating favorable carbohydrates, have double the volume of carbohydrates compared to the protein portion.
- If dining out is not complete without dessert, then don't eat any carbohydrates during the meal. Order whatever you want for dessert, but eat only half.
