For the crossfit bros who stuck with it for 3 months, what sort of results did you see in terms of strength, "toning up," and general athleticism?

You'll get out of it what you put in.

But honestly the first year you found see massive results and improvements.

I've been getting much stronger doing Greyskull and then a modified Starting Strength. I also recently did some regular middle distance running. At this point, I want to take the next step and get toned up and in great shape from a cardiovascular and strength standpoint.

Strength gains will be slow in CrossFit, generally speaking. You may want to continue with a supplemental strength program if that's your goal.

You should build cardio, both high intensity and endurance, pretty quickly.

Going to my first CrossFit workout today.

Apparently we do squats, pushups, and assault bike circuits for 5 mins, rest a bit, and then do squats, ball slams, and row machines circuits for 5 mins. Might barf

Coaches should be able to help you scale it so that you can make it through, but yes. Even the intro baseline WOD gets people close to Pukey so be prepared for that potential for the first few workouts.

If you are in decent shape one of two things will happen:

1. The coaches will see that you are in fairly good shape and if you can move pretty well, they may let you loose and you are going to feel pretty rough.

2. The coaches will do the correct thing and scale you back to where you won't feel like you are being challenged enough. Be patient, it can be as challenging as you make it.

But it is just another mode of exercise, there is no magic associated with it but I enjoy it.

My buddy has already indicated I would be scaled back, which is okay. I’m hoping I like it and it will be the first workout of many. Long term focus.

Good, I have been going for over 6 years. I have seen a whole lot of people come and go, the ones in good shape tend to not feel they are getting enough out of the WODS at first. If you like it and feel that way, I would do some extra work on your own down the road, depending on your goals. Maybe more weight lifting, maybe more WODs on Saturday or other days. If your goal is to get in as good as physical shape as possible, you will need more than the daily WOD. If you want to get in shape and lose weight, it is a good mode, buy you need to eat correctly. I eat like crap.

I look forward to your reports.

Update: didn’t barf. Went hard but not all out considering it was my first time.

Will be back Wednesday and intend to push myself real hard.

Anybody else regretting taking days off for Thanksgiving?

I took off from Wednesday to Sunday last week. Went to open gym on Monday just to move around and loosen up a bit. Did the regular workout on Tuesday and then doubled upon Wednesday.

I woke up this morning feeling like I was out for months.
