“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.”
Sport is the pinnacle of the pyramid that is fitness. It is a key element in training. CFG is represented by athletes participating many sports: volleyball, surfing, skiing, climbing, dancing, soccer, hockey, roller derby, water polo, rugby, running, swimming, triathlon, fighting, softball, etc… Whether competitive or recreational sport is the play ground in which we not only test our fitness but in doing so also have a lot of fun. In the controlled atmosphere of the gym we strengthen and train basic motor patterns to prevent injury and earn body awareness. In sport we test these skills with the added variables of real world situations or opposition. Play is also very therapeutic psychologically. We are fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on this planet. Make some time to get out and enjoy it.
