CrossFit

[Seth81]

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!

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.

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

Well said, most people don't eat enough thinking they will loose weight. They tend to only burn muscle...need foods to repair. Fuel think of it as fuel

Yup, dead on. Too few nutrients causes down regulation of all the hormones you want ramped up to build muscle and burn fat. Most people hit a stall, eat less, do more and then get no results. Success is driven by food, eat a lot, but eat well.

exactly. you can exercise all you want but without the proper diet and nutrition, you will not reach a goal and stay there long term. it's about a healthy, balanced lifestyle, not a gym membership or the program of the month...
