Old School Wisdom
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. ~Greg GlassmanCategories

2/28/10 – Old School Running
Hey Old Schoolers,
Today’s casual Sunday run workout was a full loop in Central Park, 6.something miles.
We’ll be meeting up for these Central Park runs each Sunday around noon (time will be specified each week) for anyone who wants to take part.
It’s been a fun little addition to our training. We plan to mix up the distances / routes quite often.
Email me if you’d like to meet up for the runs.
In other news,
Winter’s really getting to me at this point.
I never thought we’d necessarily cancel meetings due to snow but the pounding we’ve been taking from the snowiest February on record in NYC has taken it’s toll on me and the classes.
I don’t want to see anymore snow!!! I want to be able to get outside and train hard and play games the Old School Fitness way, preferably in the bright, shining sun.
Good news is March 1st is tomorrow so we’ve GOTTA be getting to the other side of this thing.
Hope to see many of you out in the park this week!
