World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:
- 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.

No muscle exertion when done properly. The "thumbs up" sign is a sure sign that: A-he is recovering nicely, or B-he didn't do the WOD properly because he still has some strength and energy left!

The EMT's can slide you right onto the gurney!
Have a great rest day everyone!

Because you won't hit the ground if you pass out if you are already on it.

For each of us this habitual "recovery position" stems from our very first workout --the ultrastrenuous act of being born, after which we are placed in this position into our mothers arms. We are not only recovering but also being COMFORTED.It is also a little known fact that this is also the time when many of us develope the habit of having a protein shake after a workout.

i like what Jeff said,
and with that, you can close your eyes and focus on breathing and on the process of calming that your body wants to do after an "ultrastrenuous" workout.
I notice when i don't obey my body's desire to lay down and cool down, it rebels later in not so subtle ways. We need to move our bodies- yes. and when the body says 'lay down and rest' it's equally important.
