In fitness, we hear the word Core all the time and it usually conjures images of six-pack abs. By definition, Core means the central or most important part of something. When it comes to a healthy lifestyle, nutrition is just that.
We want to help you use nutrition to reach your fullest athletic potential. Below is a simple graphic. This pyramid is known as the theoretical hierarchy of development of an athlete. It comes from a CrossFit Journal article written by CrossFit founder Greg Glassman a while back. Glassman wrote, “the logical flow is from molecular foundations, cardiovascular sufficiency, body control, external object control, and ultimately mastery and application.” If a deficiency exists at any level of the pyramid, the components above it will suffer. Notice that nutrition forms the base of the pyramid. Without attention to this piece of the puzzle, you will never develop to your fullest potential as an athlete.
