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).

My Rest Day is Important

Okay, everyone knows exercise is necessary for maintaining good health. However, resting is just as important as exercising; in fact, in some cases resting is even more important.
In the main we need rest to provide our bodies time to repair or recuperate. It is forgotten that the human body is responsible for fixing itself in general in fact, the human body repairs itself at any age.
In order for our body to begin reparation it needs first of all the necessary nutrients from good food and then it needs rest from exercise. We do exercise to a degree if we don't lie in bed all day. However, most of us do not consciously think about resting. If the body is trying to recover from a cold or a bruise or other physical ailment - rest is essential for a quick recovery.
We can overeat, drink too much ,over exercise and most times, because of the modern living,we do not eat nutritious meals or provide enough time for sleep. It is no wonder that modern man who has good intension by including exercise in his daily program and makes the effort to eat nutritious food is still more prone to sickness than ever before. It seems that perhaps conscious exercise to rest is not fully understood as being essential.
One should plan their day to include rest sessions. These rest sessions could be in the form of little naps or concentrated relax moments or just simply 5 minutes of deep breathing exercises.

1 box jump 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10 pull-ups 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

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.
