Crossfit Motto
by pat on Aug.18, 2009, under 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.
Pretty well said. I think that’s about what we here at MR would like to do? But how can we adapt this motto to fit MR even more?

One of my few criticisms of the Crossfit philosophy is that I haven’t seen much emphasis on active recovery or recovery in general. As part of my globo-gym experiment, I am going to try doing yoga regularly as a way to stretch and recover after beating myself up with short and intense workouts.
