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.

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!!

I'm not looking for weight loss really - maybe 5 lbs. More for general fitness and shaping. I like the idea of group classes. I can't handle going to a gym and lifting weights...BORING!

That's probably accurate. There does seem to be an injury prevalence. I guess a person needs to know when to say no.

Ya, women tend to have more common sense and not injure themselves trying to prove anything. Usually

They opened a crossfit place here in Lloydminster, where I am doing a rotating shift for a few months. I was really considering joining, but it would be like my third gym membership! so ummm I think 2 is enough!!

But yeah one of the group fitness classes I was doing got me into shape very quickly! Just remember diet is still super important to acheiving your fitness goals, I typically get into the mindset of "Oh I am working out, so I can eat whatever I want" which doesn't work at all for me!

Ya, good advice, and it doesn't really work for most people unless they're genetic freaks!
Nutrition determines if you grow, lose weight, lose body fat (not the same as losing weight). What you eat, when you eat it are very important details of getting into better shape. And to make it more fun, these details are different for everyone -lol
