The 3 Keys to Fitness

Here are my 3 keys to my fitness:

Training - Eating - Resting

#Training: I workout 3 days on and 1 day off. I work my weaknesses, I make sure I do it in a way I like it, I listen to what my body tells me. This way my body is always evolving on my skills

#Eating: Very important! I make sure to bring the right food at the right moment. I balance my meals and I take time to go food shop. I eat fresh.

#Resting: Wait a minute, is that important? YES! Of course it is! This is how my body gets to repair itself. It allows me to go harder, stronger and faster in each one of my workouts. It balances my life. i sleep about 7 to 8 hours every night.

Guess What?
I can help you with your training plan, your food plan and your resting plan (yes, there is a plan also for that).

Intensity and Fitness

Intensity, as we define it, is exactly equal to average power (force x distance / time). In other words, how much real work did you do and in what time period? The greater the average power, the greater the intensity. This makes it a measurable fact, not a debatable opinion.

Intensity and average power are the variable most commonly associate with optimizing favorable results. Whatever you want from exercise comes faster with intensity. It’s not volume or duration or heartrate or even discomfort. Do more work in less time (without overdoing it), and you’ll get fitter faster.

If you’ve been following the CrossFit site for a while, this isn’t new material. It is, however, the aspect of CrossFit that drives our success as much as any other single factor. And, in all domains, it’s always good to return to the fundamentals on a regular basis.

I AM A CHAMPION!

Life is all about Falling Down and Failing. what matters is to GET BACK UP on your feet! And to learn how to get back up QUICKLY!

How do we do that? How do I do that?

Well, I always start something knowing I'll make it the best I can!

Back in Belgium, when I was coaching my Track and Field Sprinters, I use to tell them:
"Guys/Girls, if you're on that Starting line, it is because of you! Not me! You made it here! YOU will win! You have to kneel in that starting position and focus on the fact that when the gun will shoot, you will go for the victory! AND NOTHING ELSE!"

I built champions! They still are champions!! In Sport and in Life!!!

Here is a great video of a football coach have the same kind of speech I use with my athletes. You can apply this to any sport!
