Thank you for posting that. I've done both of those wods. Fran many times. She can be a killer. Enjoyed the chat. Be well.

@heybales Yeah, I couldn't find the whole study in a format to read, but I don't have access to LexisNexis or another academic research tool from home, if you do, or if you have more patience in web sleuthing, I am sure you could find it. The author has published more than a few studies that, considering the specificity of…

So like I said, assign a calorie count per minute that you are comfortable with. For me, as I am trying to lose weight and don't want to overestimate my caloric burn, that is 1 to 1. As I transition to maintenance, I'll slowly raise that number until I see empirical results in line with my goals. The study was thrown in as…

[/quote] If 80% intensity for A is walking 100 meters and picking up a broom stick 10 times and 80% intensity for B is sprinting 400 meters and snatching 100 kilos 10 times That's called scaling intensity.[/quote] 100% agree with this. We had two brand new people join our group yesterday, and Toes 2 Bar were in the WOD.…

This is a tough one. By definition, CrossFit workouts are constantly varied and changing - you shouldn't repeat a WOD in a couple years, with the exception of Benchmark WODS or Hero's. Some WOD's are heavy on oly lifting, some heavy on steady cardio, some on gymnastic movements. And then some WOD's are for time, some are…

You should absolutely give it a shot as you are right now! Any good coach will be able to take the workout and 'scale' (adapt) it to movements that you can do at your current level of fitness.

A great many, but by no means all, cases of fitness related Rhabdo are not caused by someone attending their first SoulCycle, CrossFit, <insert name of whatever-workout-you-dont-like-here>, but by already very fit men and women, usually competitive athletes, returning to a high volume of training after a period of time…

Exercise makes me feel really good, and lets me eat a little bit more during cutting, so I try to get a lot of it in. I currently do 3 one hour Crossfit sessions per week (strength and cardio), 1 heavy compound lifting session at a gym, and two dumbbell workouts at home. I try and walk at least 10 miles a week as well, but…

It took me 6 weeks before I saw any changes on the scale - then all of the sudden the weight starting to come off in chunks.

I've noticed using map my walk that it seems to assume that if you do not hit 'pause' that you are continuing to walk at the same pace continuously. Here's an example: I take my son in the stroller on a long walk about 3x week. It's 2.6 Miles out, and 2.6 Miles back. Sometimes, on the way back, we will stop at the grocery…

Do you have access to a rowing machine? I use them whenever a workout calls for extended running as running on asphalt kills my knee. Knee sleeves help too.

Despite what some people have said, this issue has nothing to do with hunger. Night Eating Disorder is a bona fide eating disorder classified by the DSM-5. It is a mental health issue. It most commonly co-occurs with people suffering from anxiety disorders or depression, although it is not unique to these disorders. I have…

Thank you both for your help! Hope to reach out to you in a while with an update.

I have about three cups of spinach in my morning smoothie, every day. But..... Spinach is notorious for harboring bacteria, including E.Coli. Combination of the how it grows in soil (very dense leaf structure that makes it difficult to wash) and how it is usually combined from multiple farms before packaging (large scale…

I can only speak to what's been working for me: For the past 2 months I've been eating about 1/5 of my calories within an hour of my bedtime and I'm down about 18 lbs. That being said, I am a late eater, and I specifically plan my calories throughput the day so I can eat late. No matter what I did in the past (eat large…

I agree. Different antidepressants are prescribed because they affect people, well, differently. What's important is to get meet with a mental health professional who takes the time to compassionately listen and understand your specific struggles and works with you to address them. The right antidepressant, combined with…

Crossfit, community keeps me motivated.

Hey Vicky, That's going to be really tough to answer without you wearing a pretty decent HR monitor. Since each WOD is, by definition, completely different, there are going to be some that are better suited to your strengths than others. Some WODs have multiples of compound lifts in them, some Have rowing, some have rests,…

Hey, new Dad here. Trying to get fit so I'll stay around as long as possible for my little man. Please add me, anyone else chiming in on this thread too.

Feel free to add me, got another 10 to lose before I do a recomp.

From Australia - Fly to San Francisco (Beautiful city) - Drive to either Portland or Seattle (Get your Weird, Northwest fix on, maybe stop at a National Park on the way) - Fly to Chicago (Probably the best food city in US right now) - Take Overnight Train to NYC (Stare out the window, get a sense of how big this place…

Hey, looking to help and be helped. Feel free to add me.

I have been in Recovery for almost two years from substance abuse addiction. While not the same, the two often share some of the same underlying causes. I'd be happy to help in any way I can!

Most MFP users, while advocating healthy choices, tend to subscribe to the general idea that as long as you burn more calories than you consume (calories in < calories out) than you will lose weight, regardless of where those foods come from. You will notice that some people take this approach more militantly than others,…

You're not going to get much empathy with cleanses and challenges, especially ones that cost money, from the majority of users on this site. And for the most part, they are usually right. Having said that, I will say that I did lose weight during the advocare 24 day challenge. BUT, if you read through the pamphlet that…

Just a thought - maybe don't go so hard on the abs all the time. Sounds like you are creating some pretty big ab muscles that still have a layer of fat on top of them, which will make your belly look bigger. I know when I have a lot of ab exercises in my workout, my belly always looks bigger for a few days afterward, which…

Foam Rolling and softball work. It can hurt whilst doing, especially the softball, but your body will thank you 40 minutes later. The pressure will help get blood flowing to your muscles and start the lactic acid removal. There are videos on how to do it. Drink plenty of water. I've also found, like others, that active…

I love Crossfit. Starting back in 2011, took a break when my son was born and relocated, and restarted a couple months ago. It has been the only thing, besides competitive sports, that I've really been able to stick with. I get bored easily and the constantly changing workouts keep me excited. The social accountability…

Every Morning: - 1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk - 1/2 Scoop Isopure Unflavored Protein Powder - 3 Cups Spinach - 1/3 Cup Greek Yogurt - 1/3 Cup Frozen Blueberries - Literally 2 inches of a Banana Blend. Fills me up through my 11 AM workout, tons of protein and fiber, not too bad on the sugar, tastes great. Round 300 cals.
