    Hi All!

    I'm new here and started Crossfit 2.5 weeks ago. I'm loving it so far! Does anyone here know how to track an hour long session at a box in the fitness pal app? There are no options for Crossfit, so what would be the next best thing?

    Thanks,
    Sarah

    I went to kettlebell class yesterday. We did the same WOD as the CrossFit class from what I hear (although they might have done swings or goblet squats instead of the flip squats....it wasn't 100% clear)

    Warmup

    AMRAP 10
    * 10 American swings
    * 10 KB situps
    * 10 goblet squats

    Skill
    20 assisted KB swings
    100 KB swings for time

    Workout
    5 rounds
    * ladder (each time something different - high knees, in and out, skip, shuffle, high knees although this order might be wrong)
    * broad jumps (I did shorter jumps the first time through, but it was hurting, so I did really big steps)
    * 15 flip squats (I only dropped the KB one time, I was sure I would drop it more. These are tricky. It doesn't help that I want a heavier KB for swinging than I do for squatting.)
    * high knees over the parallelettes (Supposed to be jumps, but heck no)
    * 15 box jumps

    (I have really bad shin splints, so I have to be very careful with jumping things. Anything where I land on my toes HURTS although it's getting better.)

    Hi everyone! I'm kind of new to the site. I've been crossfitting for about 6 months now. When I started I was wwwaaaayyyyyyy out of shape. The first squat gave me 2 charlie horses! I love it so much that it's my first exercise that I keep going to. Currently I have a fractured fibula. (from walking off a box after doing pull-up) I have been doing a lot of rowing, ring rows, sit ups, one legged push ups with a help of a band and other moves that I don't have to have weight on my let. I so love crossfit!!

    Time CF'ing: Starting Today
    Nutrition Plan: Primal/Paleo for 5 months

    Well today I am finally biting the bullet and joining Anaheim Crossfit West, and I'm a little nervous about it lol. I've been eating Primal/Paleo for about 5 months, still eat some Greek yogurt and Jay Robb protein shakes though. Most of my Paleo friends on Facebook are all into CrossFit so I though I would give it a try. Just diet alone isn't working for me anymore, so I am pretty sure CrossFit is just what I need to get in great shape!

    I just signed up for KettleCoreBootcamp at the local Crossfit for 6 weeks - after that I get 2 weeks unlimited access to the facility. I hope to tryout Crossfit - I've been watching the Crossfitters while I was waiting for bootcamp and it was crazy, but really inspiring!!! I'll let you all know how I do.
    As for the bootcamp it is was great - we did a great warmup, followed by lunges, then weights (learned how to do a proper deadlift) then we went into an interval training circuit (30 minutes at each, 30 second rest, and so on) - where we had to do "Fast Feet", " Push ups", "Gobble Squats", "Mountain Climbers", "Sit-ups" - we did the circuit twice - it was AMAZING!!!! I go back on Wed - can't wait to see what we do then!!!!

    That's great, I know you will love CrossFit once you join! It's awesome that they are giving you 2 weeks of unlimited access, because that will give you enough time to decide if CF is right for you. Good luck!!

    It's my 1 year anniversary of starting CrossFit! I'm so happy I found this - yesterday I was driving by my box and some of the members were standing outside waiting for the trainer to arrive. Pulling in and getting such a happy warm welcome and genuine excitement that I'd be joining one of the "night" classes... well, it made me feel special and important. Then having to disappoint, I told them I already did the WOD and hinted that it was a 20 min AMRAP <groan>

    June 27 WOD
    3 rounds for time
    50 double unders
    25 2-fer wall balls

    SKILL: Turkish Get Up: work to 3 x heavy weight. I used a 22# O-bar.

    I did all 3 rounds of double unders, but had to take a DNF on the 2-fer wall balls. My knee kept popping and giving out on me and I got hit twice with a 14# wall ball.
    PS - Going to an Osteopath on Saturday for an eval on my knee issues. Hurts climbing stairs now.

    June 28 WOD
    "MARY"
    20 min AMRAP
    5 HSPU
    10 Pistols
    15 pull ups
    9 rounds + 4 HSPU

    *pistols modified to 1 leg deadlift with 16kg KB
    I scaled the HSPU to slow negatives & pull ups to supine ring rows

    SKILL: Practice handstands & pistols.

    This sounds fun, leaving your reps to chance!

    Welcome new comers!!

    Sorry, I have been extremely MIA. My WODs have been all over the place. I have been going whenever I have the energy to get them in.

    Sat June 25: 6 mile run, 1:05:51. I am training for a half marathon and we took it easy as I had never run a solid 6 miles before.
    Mon June 27: 1000m run, 50 HSPU modified, 1000m row... 14:25

    June 29th WOD
    Crossfit Total

    *modified because I'm laying off the weighted squats.

    1RM Deadlift 245 (no record - was aiming for 250)
    1RM Shoulder Press 97 (no record, aiming for 100)
    1RM Power Clean (replacing the back squat) 113 , but I've done a dirty 120 before but just couldn't get it today.

    June 29th WOD:
    100 push press 50lb
    on every minute 3 kb swings 1 pood
    16:56

    The WOD was actually 100 thrusters and 3 burpees on each minute. I have a bum knee because I have picked up my running substantially so we swapped for push press kb swings.
