Complete fitness in 84 words:

Nutrition in 84 words

Eat real, unprocessed food, as close to nature as possible, and listen to your body. Pretend the supermarket doesn't exist. Choose foods that could be grown, hunted, or gathered - nothing packaged or processed. Eat vegetables and fruit, meats, nuts and seeds, and no sugar. Limit starch consumption to small portions of whole natural grains. Eat healthy fats from pastured animals, fish, coconut, avocado, and olives. Consume reasonable portions. Drink plenty of water. Forget diets, cleanses, gurus, and programs. Get back to basic foods.

Movement in 84 words

Move and sweat daily. Lift heavy, training the main lifts: Deadlift, squat, overhead press, and bench press. Master the basics of gymnastics: Pull ups, dips, climbs, push-ups, sit-ups, handstands, rolls, flips, and holds. Bike, run, swim, and move hard and fast. Five to Six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep most workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and participate in new sports and activities, and have fun doing it!
