    @edeonline It is indeed my friend. Crossfit is the sport of fitness. It's constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity. Check it out man!

    @sarahxApple There's nothing greater in the fitness community than the Crossfit community.

    Love CF & everything it has taught me...lifts, techniques, the experience of a community, and of course that it's ok to sweat & girls with calloused hands are amazing because it means that I'm putting in some work :)

    Also a form metabolic conditioning. I do not compete in Crossfit or train specifically for it, but I do have metabolic conditioning written into my current plan and have on occasion done some of the Crossfit workouts.

    I just started Crossfit and yes I feel stupid lol! I'm 85 pounds overweight and I'm the only girl in my class so far because it is new! I've only done 4 classes but so far I love the challenge it gives me! I just hope that I start shedding weight soon!

    There is no reason to feel stupid when choosing to better your health. Trust me when i say, if you stick with crossfit you will see gains in strength, endurance, mobility, etc....you'll be drinking the Kool-aid as most crossfiters would say

    I have a fitbit flex which is inaccurate when it come to cals. burned in crossfit. Although the flex does count my movement as steps that i take throughout the day it will not accurately track every movement with the right amount of cals burned in crossfit. For example, I run 3 miles and the flex will track cals burned because it is a pedometer but when it come to a squat, push, pull movement it will not be tracked as cals burned, only as steps. the only close to accurate way to track what you burn in crossfit would be a HR monitor but no one wants to where one whit all the movements we have to do. Hope this helped.

    A girl in my box has a monitor and she says she hits between 500 and 1000 calories. She really awesome however and is one of the top performers at our box. I put down 500 calories as I think that is fair guesstimate considering I sometimes knock out 100 calories on the row or aerodyne. I think the woman who said 350 is totally in the safe range as well. When I see the 1,000 calorie number I kind of call BS except for a true athlete. Being you are a trainer however you are certainly in the elite range and well above me. My two cents.

    HRM's are also inaccurate ate reading strength training. Crossfit is still more anaerobic than aerobic (think sprinting here), and HRM's are designed to read and calculate steady state aerobic exercise.

    It definitely helps! I do feel marginally better a couple of weeks in. Well, I did until our skill of the week was Pistols. :cry:
