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.
