REST DAY - A New Toy - CrossFit in 100 words

Got a new toy today. I wanted a mountain bike that begged to be ridden fast while maintaining stability and responsiveness on hard packed trails. The bike had to be comfortable for long rides and a champ for uphill climbing. I think this budget full-suspension bike fits the bill.

CrossFit fitness in 100 words (from crossfit.com)

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.

Personally, I don't agree with every facet of this summary (like the no sugar line), but it should give you an idea of what you need to do to be and stay fit.
