  • The iPhone app store has "Daily Arm" - you can choose 5, 8 or 10 minute workouts. I'm sure the Google Play store will have it as well. It's really pretty good! I like the focus on triceps, a problem area for me

  • CrossFit is for all fitness levels and abilities. The big appeal, for me, is the functional fitness aspect. It's not just about building muscles or cardio stamina. It's about being able to do everyday movements, without restriction, for the rest of your life. Because you are not using machines - with the exception of the…

  • I've been CrossFitting for about 4 months, and just started adding a pre-workout, and creatine. Creatine is cheap, but the brand I buy is SixStar - at WalMart no less. I also bought the SixStar pre-workout, since I figured I'm new at this I didn't want to spend a lot on something. I definitely notice a burst of energy with…

  • I am perimenipausal and cycle every other month. I think only my right ovary “works” and I have pain on that side always. I think I have a cyst and yes - it definitely makes my workouts suffer. Some days I can’t run because the bouncing around makes it worse. I can’t do some movements at CrossFit for the same reason. I am…

  • Planks. Planks and more planks. You’ll gain good upper body strength from this deceptively simple excercise.

  • I agree with this. 3 weeks ago I decided no more excuses. I wake up at 4:30 three mornings a week. I’m at CrossFit at 5. Back home by 6:15 to shower, get kids up for school and make lunches. If I tried to work out after work it never happens. Kids practices, after work functions etc always derailed my workout plans. Even…

  • Good for you! I started 3 weeks ago. I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m 51, obese, and have never excercized regularly. I love the variety CF offers. And the community. The coaches are very concerned about proper form and scale the WODs to my level until I can execute the movements correctly. Everyone has been super…

  • I fly internationally 2 or 3 times a year. You bet I get a flu shot. Airplanes are giant petri dishes of bacteria, viruses and germs. My whole family gets the shot yearly.

  • I don't use one of those, but I did recently purchase a desk riser, so I can mix sitting and standing at my desk. I don't think you want to sit all day, under desk peddler or not. Amazon sells basic desk risers fairy reasonably, I fit my 2 monitors, speakers, keyboard etc on it with room to spare. Standing instead of…

  • I weigh 218, am 51 yrs old, and have never ever ever worked out regularly. I just joined CrossFit and have a nutrition coach. My macros are 130g carbs, 190g protein and 58g fat. This is my first week on the macro plan so I don't know how I'll end up. I will say I'm finding it very difficult to get in all the calories when…
