I'm thinking about doing Crossfit again...

Hi,

I'm new to this site and would like to add friends that do Crossfit. Does anyone here do it? If so please add me. Thanks.

I used to when I was working direct support in the Navy seal community... I want to incorporate alittle bit of it in my husband and I's routine but I wont be able to do any of it until I fully heal from my csection operation almost two months ago.

Yeah, that's probably a pretty good idea. It works so well for me, but it's so tough!

Actually, I just moved close to a Crossfit location in Uptown Dallas, TX. I was wanting to know more about it. What is it all about?

Well, the technical definition is:

Look around their site and watch some of the videos. Pretty amazing stuff. Basically they have different workouts everyday that keep changing things up for your muscles. Every workout is timed. Combines Olympic lifts, body weight, running, gymnastics, etc.

Some workouts only last 15 mins but the definitely keeps you sore. It can really be for all levels but timing it really pushes you.

Check out the videos:

Thanks! I just graduated school and I'm about to start a new job so I've been looking around at gyms to join. There is one really close and a walk/jog/bike trail goes right by its outdoor workout area so I see people working out. I've heard really good things about it so I am thinking about doing the beginner class. They also have a free Sat class to come check it out.

I would highly recommend. It is something you can learn then do on your own as well. If nothing else good education. I've played sports all my life and have gone through football / basketball workout programs... and I think this is the best there is.
