Our favorite unofficial guide to Crossfit Fitness

Kudos to the team at Nerd Fitness for posting such a good non-biased look and opinion piece on Crossfit. We encourage all interested parties to take a look at their guide while we work on our own piece that will look at crossfitting (as opposed to Crossfitting).

Why Paleo Isn't Always the Best for Sports Performance

Although we like portions of the popular Paleo diet craze, we must admit, there exists parts we wholeheartedly disagree with. This video from the folks at FITR.tv takes a look at when and when not to apply Paleo.

As an FYI.. we do NOT subscribe to the whole hunters and gatherers theory, but we do highly recommend and aspire to eating "clean" and as much unprocessed foods as possible.

Hello Crossfit World!

This blog will focus on all aspects of the contemporary trend of crossfit, combine and crosstraining enthusiasm. Together with suggestions from my fellow athletes we will review all forms of crossfitting. That means that you don't have to be a member of a crossfit gym, rather someone who adopts the concept of crossfit movements and techniques to take your fitness to another level.

If you area rock climber, rugby player, martial artist, runner or endurance athlete and are looking for some guidance and insights into all aspects of how to safely apply crossfitting into your existing fitness program - then you've come to the right place.

I will begin with links to some extraordinary athletes doing extraordinary things. Along with these links, I will post reviews of gyms, fitness facilities, programmes, media, coaches and gear.

However the real "meat and potatoes" of this site will be the close and critical look at performance nutrition, and sport specific crosstraining. Last but not least we will provide insights on all the cool fitness approaches you can adopt to make you a more well rounded and fit athlete.

Get Fit and Live Healthier and Live Longer!
