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 specialising. 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 Is Dangerous, But So Is Your Toothbrush

Here's another article from CrossFit Watertown

You've probably heard someone say it by now: "CrossFit? Isn't that dangerous?" And they're right. CrossFit is dangerous...if you don't know how to do it. You could get hurt.

But, then again, you could hurt yourself while driving a car. And firing a weapon. Or cooking. In fact, if I didn't know how to handle my toothbrush and stuck it in my eye and brushed my cornea, I'd bet I'd be in a world of pain. (Note to self: be very careful after having a few beers.) It's like that old Ani DiFranco line: "Every tool is a weapon, if you hold it right." Read on.

  • Thrusters, 95lb
  • Pull-ups
Scale load as required.

"To A Greater World" by Jon Gilson from Again Faster

We're bringing personal responsibility back. You can't do what we do while shirking your load, depending on other people, or otherwise passing the buck. Your WOD time is yours and yours alone. You cannot turn in a fifty-minute "Fran" and then scold your classmates for the result. Blame is not cast in the gym.

Conversely, I can't count the number to times I've seen an athlete turn in an epic time and then thank everyone in the room for making it happen. Adulation is shared.

I view the gym as a microcosm of the moral world, one in which control of success and failure ultimately lies with the individual. There is no fatalism in the gym. Your maximum pull-up number is not preordained by some higher power. It is determined by speed, strength, coordination, accuracy, agility, and mental fortitude, all qualities that are within your domain and solely within your control. Others can give to the effort through correction, encouragement, and support, but they cannot make your chin clear the bar.

I got the below tips from Dr Sears Zone Mailing List. I hope you get something from them.

Top 11 Zone Diet Tips
  1. Always eat within one hour of waking.
  2. Never let more than five hours go by without having a Zone meal or snack and don’t forget your bedtime snack.
  3. Keep a food diary and note how you feel after a meal. Make a list of which meals keep you in the Zone.
  4. When you go to the store, make sure to have a list in hand with ingredients for at least two or three Zone meals. Then you won't be tempted to buy everything in sight while trying to create Zone meals on the spot.
  5. Never leave the house hungry, or you'll be tempted by all the food waved in your face everywhere you go.
  6. In dips, replace part or all of the sour cream with cottage cheese. Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add seasonings and blend again.
  7. Instead of skimping with a small amount of mayo and having dry tuna, try using strained yogurt instead. Spice it up if you want.
  8. When making guacamole in the Zone, use cut up red, green and orange bell peppers instead of tortilla chips.
  9. Take any type of fruit you like, (lemons, limes, oranges, strawberries, or any combination of fruits), slice, place in a pitcher, fill with ice and water, and place in the fridge overnight. Stir just before serving.
  10. Miss mashed potatoes? Try mashed cauliflower instead.
  11. Slice zucchini (length wise), brush lightly with olive oil and broil until crisp/tender (about 5 minutes). Then use the zucchini like you would lasagna noodles.
