i was just wondering what all it involved but i guess it’s above my head bc i dont know what functional fitness meand
It means lifting stuff with poor form, just like everyday life. Hence functional.
i just heard some people love it and idk i’ll try anything but then one time someone said “omg you have to try orange theory” so i tried orange theory and it was like boot camp with the real housewives of NY
i cant do that again, it crushed my soul
and then that time i tried hot yoga and almost died bc i kept holding my breath so i didn’t breath in other people’s sticky humid body odor air
and pilates was just boring
can anyone for real explain crossfit
Wait. You're in NY?
no i’m in Texas
Dammit. With all my exes.0 -

I did. I'm just hoping the next step isn't to move the Games to Cookeville since that is where all the big names are going. I like it in Madison!0 -

Lucky! Selfishly being from Alabama I’m about 3 hours from Cookeville.0 -

I think all the bad press about bad form has made Crossfit gyms going the complete opposite. At one of my recent workouts, we practiced with a pvc pipe for 20 minutes before using any weight, even people who have been Crossfitting for years. We have great coaching and they take correct form to the extreme. I must say, I am pretty proud of my form due to great coaching. And, I have used three different Crossfit gyms; they are all extremely diligent about form. My gym also focuses on working in all the different energy systems so you aren't just doing the classic hiit type of Crossfit workout.
Then I will go to a boot camp class where there is no coaching at all. Makes me cringe.
I do like to mix it up though. Sometimes I don't get as much satisfaction from a 12 minute wod as I would a slow jog at the park for an hour.

I was strictly a lifter until I tried CrossFit for the first time almost 3 months ago. My place pairs WODs with an Olympic lifting component- win/win2

Where were you ladies last night when I was fighting off the doubters? I could’ve used some help.2 -
I found a local CrossFit after joining the “little gym” and having no motivation to weight train on my own. I took my first class on November 6th and have been every week since. I just started increasing to twice a week since the muscle soreness isn’t as debilitating.
I never thought I would love it so much but I’ve surprised myself. Feeling great and strong and looking forward to what I’ll gain from sticking with it. Feel free to add me. I’m still learning a lot and could use a friend who is more advanced, or a beginner like me!2 -
I love CrossFit.
The workouts are just okay....
but the Group Photos are the best.2 -
Crossfit is a good workout for my rest days 6
