OMG...workout folk: crossfit kicked my butt today
First time I've done one...and of course I'm set with one of the brutal ones.
http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/001097.html For time: 50 Box jump, 24 inch box 50 Jumping pull-ups 50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pod Walking Lunge, 50 steps 50 Knees to elbows 50 Push press, 45 pounds 50 Back extensions 50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball 50 Burpees 50 Double unders I was ready to throw up twice and stopped sweating about 3/4 in. For the record...I did most of the above only 25 times each, for the kettlebell it was a 35lb bell, for the wall ball I only used a 12 pound ball. Worst/best workout of my life.

I'm too afraid to try it, got an ex-coworker that now is an instructor at the local Crossfit joint. Those folks are in great shape though.

Well, remember I did about 1/2 of what the real one above calls for. My time was around 48 minutes, with probably 15 of it resting.
Sharkie, Check out www.crossfit.com for more info and videos. It's pretty brutal stuff. |

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but the workouts I've looked at have people reporting their times between 3-15-20 mins. Not to make this sound easy, but is this all they do? I know the exercises are hard and all, but working out hard for 5mins a day is only going to get you so far.
What am I missing? |

The Crossfit workouts as written (prescribed) are extremely challenging and have always put me in my place every time I do one (not that often). I second DrDrum, come to the 2008 Fitness thread. |

I agree - I don't know that its really applicable to what you tend to focus on. On the flip side, adding one of these workouts every now and then might be a nice change of pace, or a replacement for a speed training day or something.

Try it. Look up Fran and give it ago. For the newbies I suggest scaling. http://forum.brandxmartialarts.com/v...a9cdcec3157228 just remember, Crossfit isnt powerlifting, it isnt bodybuilding. If youre a curls for the girls type of guy, its probably not for you. Last edited by EnterTheDragon; 05-13-2008 at 09:09 PM. |
