Hey guys,

On day 6 of my quit. I see there's some crossfitters here. I've been Xfitting for ~3 months now. My wife & I go to a local affiliate here in CDA.

Since I quit last Wednesday Xfit has REALLY helped me through some tough days. At least I can sleep at night! I have also noticed that I am already feeling better in the WODS. I don't get gassed quite as fast as I did a week ago.

Hi guys,

I am on Quit Day 7 and new to QSSN.

Can I just add my name to the Fitness Roll Call each day like the HOF Group? Or is there an invite, some other critera, etc?


Thanks

biernut, you're in on the fitness roll call. youre right in that u just have to post like roll call.
Im new here too, but i can tell you that these guys are serious and they're into this training program called cross fit.
Im looking into it myself.
welcome aboard

Thanks. I have been doing Crossfit for ~ 3 months now at a local affiliate. I've never been in better shape...even when playing football 24 years ago.
I will start posting tomorrow.

I have not heard of crossfit so I find crossfit.com and http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/xfit-phoenix.html

I will learn handstand.

Nice pic. The main website (also called Crossfit HQ www.crossfit.com) often has nice pctures of some very fit young ladies....google some youtube videos of Nicole Carroll or Annie Sakamoto...yikes! Also, the WOD videos on the main site can be pretty impressive not just for the lovely ladies but their athletic abilities as well.

Crossfit is the most fun I have ever had while working out.

the answer is NO. you cannot just add your name. There is some other criteria.
The "other criteria" you need to meet: don't put that disgusting brown shit in your mouth. If you can't follow that "other criteria", than you might as well take Xfitting or whatever exercise program you do, throw it out the window and start reciting the Hail Mary.

Nice Moose, Biernut post up and get rid of your NicBitch bro, alls welcome!!

Would one of you Crossfit nuts mind letting us in on the secret? I visited the site, but I'm still hazy on how it works. Do you just follow the routine that happens to be posted that day? Is it something best done in tandem with others at a local gym? What's so fun about it? I feel like I'm missing out!!!!!

If you are not crossfitting, then you are missing out!!!

To put it bluntly, crossfit focuses on functional athleticism. The workout on the main page is enough work for one day. Obviously, you will need a warm up (there is a standard, but I pretty much just run an 800 and stretch). It seems odd, but there are days where my entire body is completely blasted after a 16 minute workout. It takes me longer to recover than when I used to lift for 1.5 hours. They follow the zone diet, which I'm not too good at sticking to. Basically, cut sugar out of you life and eat real food (veggies, nuts, lean meat, etc.). The best part is the site costs nothing to visit. The workouts and instructional videos are free (contrast with PX90). Also, I've got a bunch of workouts I can do at home when I don't make it to the gym (sandbags, etc.). There are a number of CF affiliates, but their charges are somewhat pricey (but probably worth it if you compare a gym fee & personal trainer).

I love the workouts. My suggestion is to give it 4-5 weeks. Follow the exercises (and make a marked improvement in eating) and do whatever you can to get it done. This isn't a program where you can half-ass it. You start, go balls out, then stop. If after 4-5 weeks you don't notice a huge difference in your fitness, I'd be amazed. (That clown cartoon picture that is throwing up is known as "pukie". I've never personally met him, but I've been close.)

I'd be more than happy to "explain" some of the workouts to you (post here, in the workout forum, or pm me). You should also watch the videos on the page.

Give it a shot. just remember, 3...2...1...go
