Just curious....Why not do a similar style "class" or workout at a regular gym for 25 bucks or so a month? Do you just prefer the group atmosphere and motivation?



Unless there is an open area (boot camp/yoga/etc) it's impossible to do.

..and does the gym have kettlebells, boxes, bumpers (foam covered plates), straight Pullup bars (not the bent shite), rowers, rings, etc?

Most places do not.

There is a video series of a guy trying to do crossfit workouts in a regular gym and he's in everyone's way. A royal douchebag. frick that guy. I'd kick his arse.

You: They don't do crossfit!
Me: Here is an example of Cole Sager doing crossfit.
You: Change subject.

Lester would you consider yourself more "ripped" or "swole"?

Have not read the thread, but my sister in law started doing crossfit a few years ago and she was overweight.

After at least two years of doing this "excercise program" she is even bigger than she was when she started. I am honestly asking what the deal is with this program.

I don't know much about it but I see FB posts that make it seem like some sort of cult with their code language and what not.....

Your sister is a fastass with an eating problem.

A girl on my Facebook is the same way. I'm beginning to think she just eats like shite.

I still do a lot of strength movements on my own since I'm a member of Spectrum in BR.

Like I said, my BP has dropped a good bit and my HDL levels rose to a better level since doing crossfit. I loathe just cardio by itself. Pounding pavement for 4-5 miles bores me.

I assume you have tried interval training? Do you not like it?

I have always found cardio boring as well. I normally do not do much and just focus on my diet to stay lean. I have started running more recently just because I find it relaxing and It allows me to drink more beer.

I do 35 minutes of hard intervals on a spin type bike at the gym. That will work your arse if you go all Out. Alternated speed intervals at a lower resistance and power intervals with high resistance both in and out of saddle...you will be smashed at the end and it ain't boring.

Has anyone here tried running with a waist harness attached to a weight stack. My gym has one and I was thinking of doing a tabata style interval workout with it.
