Besides, I've seen no information to prove otherwise. Tell me what you know, I'm interested. I don’t think it’s too outrageous to believe that. Besides, I’ve seen no information to prove otherwise.

If you believe that, you'll believe anything. Two guys I know came up with the idea, built the site, and then McClean-Foreman sued them for it.

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." These are some concise fitness thoughts from Crossfit.com. For fans of simplicity, they're pretty decent. But if one is training for something <i>very</i> specific, then these hundred words fall way short of the quantitative, Traineo approach that's then required. My biggest deviations: I like sugar (it's best consumed post-workout), and I love low-intensity, endurance workouts. “Fitness in 100 Words:
