Sorry boys, this question is for the ladies!!!

I have friends doing it with their kids. They have lost a ton of weight. They also try to eat paleo.

What if they used to be a man and are now a lady with all their lady bits and hormone therapy? Can they still reply?

Don't be so sexist.

Hahaha had to.

But in all seriousness, I've never tried cross fit but I've heard it's a killer workout. However, it's also a workout that both sexes do, so I'm not really sure why you don't want the male input?

Geesh people. I think she just wants advice from a women and if it worked for them and what results they received. Not so much that men cant answer a crossfit question, she wants to hear from a women perspective.

One of the best things about CrossFit is that men and women both attend classes together

I love CrossFit. It's changed my life. That said, CrossFit gets bashed on these forums all the time. There's a group here you can join called CrossFit Love if you have any questions. Otherwise, my tips:

1. Check out your local box before signing up. Some will let you take a class without weights. Ask about trainer credentials and talk to the members to get a sense of the culture. Not all boxes are created equal. Some are great, some are awful.

2. Make sure you take a beginner course before you get started. This is where you will learn the basics and start working on proper form.

I tried it for a month, it wasnt for me. There are some parts I like, but there are some movements that take too long to learn and I dont have the patience to keep practicing my form over and over again. The instructor told me it can take some people(not everyone) months, yes months, to learn the proper form for some of the lifting. My husband is currently taking his crossfit certification to be an instructor and he loves crossfit. He has been doing it for 2 years and he loves it. I think its not for everyone, but there are many ladies in the class that love it. If you are looking for a strong sense of community and support, you will find it at a crossfit box. Thats the one thing I do wish I had instead of working out alone.

If I were you I would do a 30 day trial if possible to see if its right for you before commiting to a membership

Too intense for me... but I'm a weenie!

Holy crap people, I asked women because sorry men you don't have boobs that get in the way or a Tom which is a pain in the *kitten*. I've already had my male friends give me their opinion so I was looking for the female since none of my female friends have done it. Didn't know the whole site was going to jump down my throat about it

Relax, it's the internet.

You got some good answers though. As far as boobs go, I'm a D and I haven't had too much of a problem. I just wear a great sports bra. TOM sucks, but it's going to suck whether you are running, doing CrossFit, Zumba....or anything, really.

So we have to only talk about our tits or our periods in order to want a woman's opinion?

There is nothing sexist about wanting a female's perspective on a certain exercise when you are also a female.

I haven't done crossfit, but as a lady I enjoy cycling, walking, and weight lifting. I do know some women who very much enjoy crossfit.

I have not tried it but a few ladies I know do crossfit and they have gotten very strong and fit!

agreed. but she wasn't talking about kegals. she's asking about crossfit.

Men can kegel, too. Not all the same results, but, you know...

The boob question is legit. There are some lifts that can be intimidating if you are big chested.
