Crossfit Quotes
"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, clean & jerk 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."
When someone asks you “What’s CrossFit?” what do you tell them? OOOOO the dreaded question. I say it is a form of functional fitness that can make you better at everything in life. You will get stronger, faster, leaner, healthier, mentally tough, and FEEL BETTER THAN YOU EVER HAVE IN YOUR LIFE. Are you ready to change?
"Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable!" - Crystal Nelson
"Eat protein, veggies, and some fat with every meal. Exercise smart. Sleep at least 8 hours a night in a darkened room. The only thing I would add to this prescription would be to: Stop taking yourself so seriously, laugh a lot, cry when you need to, hug more, make love more, and play until you are fall-down-tired." - Robb Wolf to Everyday Paleo
This one is so crazy because I was actually thinking earlier about how I want success to creep up on me. I don't want to scrutize everything everyday, I'd rather do what I know I need to do and then one day look in the mirror and be like "Dammmmn." ; D
"My best advice – find a way to enjoy the means to the end. Most of us with success stories love the way we eat and truly enjoy our workouts. You can too. The easiest way to learn to enjoy your journey is to find people to journey with. . . Another great way to stay motivated is to focus on physical capacity goals. Stop thinking about your appearance every time you drag yourself to the gym and start thinking about lifting heavier weights, moving faster, and accomplishing things that your friends [or you] think are impossible. Posting a video on Facebook of you doing a pull-up or a heavy back squat will put you on the receiving end of much admiration (and maybe a little envy). Each little personal record will act as a stepping stone to a new you. One day you will be on your way to the shower and the mirror will stop you in your tracks
"This past week, Ken is realizing that the big secret of going Primal is that it’s really not about changes to diet, fitness, or what supplements one takes in order to “mitigate stress.” It’s not about hacking yourself, constantly striving to improve this or that micronutrient status or tweaking things until you finally figure out the minimally effective dose of sun/squats/sleep. Those are just tools to an end; they’re not the goal itself. The goal is getting to a state of flow, where everything just happens, where you make good food decisions without thinking or stressing, where you head outside for a hike not just for the forest bathing benefits but for the fact that walking around in the great outdoors is awesome, where it’s all internalized and regular so you can focus on the important stuff – family, friends, experiences, moments, love – without all the clutter getting in the way." - Mark Sisson
