April 22 WOD

GPP stands for General Physical Preparedness and refers to your level of fitness. CrossFit defines fitness as cardiovascular/respiratory endurance (ability to use oxygen), stamina (ability to use energy), strength (ability to apply force), flexibility, power (ability to apply force in minimum time), speed, coordination, balance, and accuracy. A good GPP program should improve all of these aspects; therefore raising your general fitness level.

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.
