I go 4x a week and I am quite happy with that. I used to go to a regular gym 6x a week and I feel like I am getting a better workout now than I used to.

Overall, I think you should start at 2x a week and move up only as you are comfortable. Don't let other people set the standard for your body. Also, make sure you get plenty of rest.

Good luck!

I five days a week for about 1.5 hours per workout. I do take one rest day from crossfit midweek because am finding that my wrists, elbows, and shoulders cannot take that type of intensity for a full week. <--I speculate that the reason I'm hurting is because I still am working on technique.

Good luck with finding a good box.

3x/week, and I run once or twice a week and maybe do a slow paced walk with my wife. Adding in some ancillary work to help prep for a competition so call it one and a half to two hours per session. Warmup, strength work, WOD, a bit of extra work, mobility (for me hips and shoulders/rack position)

WHen I started I was sore all the time. Now I find my body responds pretty quickly unless we do something really hard (Hero WOD or something like that)

I try to be active 6 days out of the week. Sunday is almost always the day that I rest. I've done the 2 a day thing and it's okay, but I'm not a fan. Instead, I usually do the WOD and then heavy lifting work and if I feel like it afterwards some skill work on things that are weaknesses for me. If I can't make it to the box, I go to the student rec center and run the track or if free weights are available I do form work. Saturdays I try to go to the morning WOD and then head straight to job #2 at the ChickfilA I work at and am on my feet the rest of the day. I have had to work up to this level of activity, but just start by doing one thing and then add in other things as you are physically able to.

I do 6 WOD sessions a week, plus 1 olympic lifting/strength session. I always have 1-2 rest days, so some days I go twice. I'm not training for anything in particular, I just do it so often coz I genuinely love it.

Thank you for your input! I have through Thanksgiving at my current box and then I will be starting 12/2 at a new one. Their ramp up program is 3 times a week, for 3 weeks. If I can ever get my plantar fascias (Sp?) to die down I would go back to running some.

Just rest it. Ask your coaches for some things you can do to help. From memory (my ex-wife had it) she slept in a boot to keep her foot at 90 degrees.

Lay in your bed face down with the foot just off the end and pull it up into the bed.

Self-massage the bottom of your foot with a golf ball and practice picking it up with your toes.

Good luck and I hope it doesn't interfere with CF. What you also might find too is that the PF is a symptom of something going on in your hips or back that CF is going to strengthen. I've had a few chronic pains just disappear after 4 months of CF.

Just getting started with CrossFit but at my old gym I was going 5 days a week to small group training. With CF I'm still looking at 5 days, M-W, F & Sa with rest on Thursday (makeup/goat day at the box) and Sunday (no class). I'm also taking advantage of yoga at the gym on Saturday's after CF to help with flexibility. So far it's been just a week and it's working out well.

I just finished on ramp amd I plan to continue at three times a week. I am a believer in rest days - I think they are healthy and reduce the chance of injury. (Note, rest days don't mean be a couch potato, but they do mean not an intense workout IMO)

In my third week now and I am going 3x a week. I may later go 4x, but I don't see myself going anymore than that.
