Crossfit???

Yikes!!!!

Its about 100/mo Unlimted classes at my gym. I been there for a while so I'm under the old pricing of 60/mo Unlimited.

That price is with the military discount?

 

In co the price is about 130 for unlimited unless police fire or military then it's 100.

 

he didnt mention anything about a mil discount. im not active duty anymore either though.

Just stick with it. You have to go more than 2 or 3 times a week, which is still good. Make sure you are eating right, that is my biggest problem.

 

My baseball team did Crossfit all this summer and since the beginning of school this year

 

I go 5 times a week and have a blast. I have noticed a change definitely in the 3 months I have been doing it. Big thing is just make sure you have a good diet. One thing I have learned is to definitely rest on your rest days. It sucks to not do anything, but your body needs the rest.

 

That is awesome your Dept. is doing that. I heard one of our neighboring offices turned their gym into a crossfit gym, which I think would be awesome.

 

I'm always sore, but its a good sore. I finish my WOD, then hangout and work on different things. I'd rather work to hard then not hard enough.

 

Thats freaking awesome

most Gyms preach 3 on 1 off or 5 on 2 off. You wont over train yourself since it's all different types of training. You may do alot of cardio one week and powerlifting the next.

I do the same. Fran kicked my ass today but I stayed alittle afterwards to work on my double unders.

 

Motivation for you guys!

 

You pretty much answered your question. You train every part of your body but its body parts that you use everyday. The info I put out is from Crossfit HQ. Over training usually happens when your at the gym for hours. Lifting and doing whatever. At Crossfit your only there 1 hour for a WOD. Most of everything you read and see on TV says to do atleast 1 hour of activity a day.

Also when you do full body movements thats just it. It doesnt just target one specific muscle group and kill it to the point of muscle failure and breakdown. Most of it is core and you cannot over train your core. Now you can kill yourself doing back extensions all day everyday but at controlled levels you can do it everyday. Your CF trainer should know what he is posting on the board and have his entire WODs planned out for how ever long. Your will not over train only doing 1hr a day. Also are you taking any suplements? That is important in recovery also. Most CF'ers do 3 on 1 off 365 days a year with now propblems Just give it a try and see how your body reacts to it. If you feel okay then continue. If you are hurting too much then lay off. Just give it a try and dont let talk yourself out of it.

 

Haha I know what your saying man. I used to lift alot when I was in Iraq and most of my Active Duty life. Sometimes I may even think WTF? We just did Squats and now we are doing deadlifts? I was used to only doing a specific muscle group once a week. I'm about 60-80% Paleo right now and I can really see a difference. With your lifting backround I can see your supps are in order as I take the same but with added clacium, vitamin D and Magnesium. Also I dont take a mass builder but only whey iso post workout and a good per-workout to wake me up in the morning.

You have to look at CF in a different light. Your not doing the movments to get big but your doing functional and power movments to increase your overall fitness.
