CrossFit Foundations



Alright Crossfitters, as you can see this is what CrossFit is all about visually - and as we all know any structure must have a solid foundation or it will crumble under any type of pressure! This is why the foundation of CrossFit begins with nutrition.

"Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruits, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat...Nutrtition can be a toucy topic, like politics or religion, that people take very personally, but good nutrition is the foundation not only for general health but also for high-performance fitness." - Coach Greg Glassman.

Just imagine putting horrible gasoline in your cars gas tank, it will run terribly. Just like when you put horrible fuel (food) in your body, your workouts and daily routines will suffer. Nutrition is very important as we have discussed in class from time to time: Be on the lookout for nutrition seminars, they are on the horizon! Remember, keep a solid foundation to build upon - EAT REAL FOOD!

  1. I think everyone has seen me when I fail because of bad nutrition. It totally makes all of the difference in the world.
