CrossFit

[Myka]

Who on here is doing CrossFit? I know there are a few of you...

I just joined last week. I signed up for 4 months so either I'm going to die or I'm going to get fit.

Sucker for punishment eh Mindy

I love it. Ive lost 65lb since december of last year but have only been doing cross fit for about 3 months now. I come home hurting every time but am building solid muscle mass.
Highly recommend it to anyone.

I'd say as a woman, you'll likely get in shape. Men can typically die, as egos tend to push harder than the body can follow

Good excuse to hang with pretty girls, but if it were up to me, treadmills would get banned from gyms Do the pretty girl a favor and get her lifting heavy weight!!

Ha ha ha.... yeah I guess it depends on your picture of the ideal woman.

I did that whole getting bulk thing for a while, protein powders, creaitine and all that jazz... was really good for my football days, but when I played Rugby I recognized the need for developing cardio as well. Since then I try to be balance cardio and weights. However my bulky friends see me doing cardio and they do crack some jokes!

Ya, I guess my ideal woman has a 6 pack -lol

Cardio is important, but I try to keep mine to sprints or intervals. I can link you a workout that will leave you on the floor trying to keep your heart from bursting out of your chest that takes about 20 minutes, all in the squat rack.

I do love running, just for the "me time" I get from it, but I have to make sure I'm prepped nutritionally so that I don't burn muscle tissue doing it (fairly common problem with long duration steady state cardio).

If you're really interested in this stuff, look up some podcasts by Phil Learney, great coach that trains a lot of rugby players.

Well, my primary activity is weight training for body comp, but I can run (or other activities) for a couple hours Best of both, I suppose -lol

And probably too raunchy, but the mods are probably still sleeping
