My parents are really into "pickleball"... they play like 5-6 x a week, sometimes 7. I went to visit them in florida, and it was all pickleball talk. I thought to myself " is this how annoying i sound when I talk about crossfit? " lol.... most likely.. i try to turn it down now after that experience

I was worried about protein and losing muscles while vegan, as i am very athletic. I have no problem getting in my protein a day looks like this breakfast- protein pancakes ( banana, flax, sun warrior protein powder, chia seeds, maca powder) after workout - protein shake lunch- chickpea/avacado sandwich on ezikeil, veggies…

My name is Andrea and I do have fur babies, but i also have a 3 year old and just turned 1 year old. After my 2nd I was having terrible hormone imbalance problems (weight gain, insomina, night sweats, etc). My naturopath suggested I give a vegetarian / dairy free diet a try for 6 weeks. I am 3 weeks in, and feeling great.…

Did it in Hawaii and Jamaica (full nude) and loved it! every shape and size, I actually felt less judged naked than in a bikini.. the nicest people are naked lol !

Take a week off...get a massage, do your nails, sleep in, but still eat healthy. A week break can do wonders, and you aren't going to lose muscle or progress from 1 week. Maybe try a workout class, or something different for new motivation.

I wouldonly say 5-10 calories...

I'm in the same boat. I typically burn a ton of calories doing crossfit hockey and soccer. but I re-tore my knee during soccer.. I was losing 2 lbs a week and now since i had to take 2 weeks off to do nothing im not losing :( I went on pinterest and found a few upper body only workout video, or google upper body cardio.…

I hate to be harsh.. but being at home alone with maybe a walk or 2 every few hours is no way a dog should live... you may be home on weekends now to play but maybe down the road you will have a bit of a social life and the dog will be locked up yet again... i work from home and still feel guilty if i leave for like 4…

My old box only did a 2 hour on ramp... needless to say i learned terrible form and bad habits, and got hurt often... switched boxes to one that did 4 weeks 3x a week, and now I see the difference between a ok box and a GREAT box. we did 1 hour and a half just on proper deadlifts. I would hope with only 2 hours during…

oh man did i go through this! I had signed up for a year with my husband, but wasn't impressed by one coach and how i was treated as a client while i was pregnant. but since i paid i couldn't leave. I do love crossfit but i wanted to be able to do 10 good pushups on my toes instead of 200 ****ty ones on my knees. so i…

my new box makes you do 4 singles per one double under...so i had motivation... a year and a half i tried at my old box... switched over. new coach. he decided he was done watching me do singles, started with a plastic/rubber rope that goes slower and gave some pointers, once i could get a few of those , switched to the…

I buy Rise bars online. its only 3 ingrediants - almond butter, whey protein, and honey ( to hold it together)... give me the protein and carbs I need before my workout. with a 2 year old and a newborn its my saviour to make sure i eat in the morning.. and they taste good. you could just make your own with same…

we do off site wods here and there, and every year we do a swim wod. we go to a local pool, and this year was 15 burpees, 75 meter swim, then 20 kettlebell thrusters, for 5 rounds. I was a competitive swimmer so this wod I actually do very well in, and its funny to see how the strongest people can have trouble swimming.…

I'm currently 39 1/2 weeks prego and have been crossfitting through the entire thing. I don't do anything too crazy and def dropped down the weights in the 3rd trimester, but at this point I am just going to move a little bit each day and hopefully go into labour lol ! Just listen to your body and adjust accordingly . If…

Right now I am wodding at 39 weeks pregnant... so I just tell myself " this might help me go into labour" lol...

I am currently 7 months pregnant doing crossfit 4x a week still... nothing wrong with staying active

Thanks all, I live in Canada so we don't use craigslist, more like a kjjjii but i haven't found anything yet :(

we have certain bars that have different feeling that i stay on better, but my hands don't tear so thats not the issue. Sometimes that bar isn't avail though. Looks like I'll be sticking with the spit lol

I've tried using chalk and gloves and tape.. it makes it even more dry and i slide right on off :(

I do both.. whatever grips better at that moment .

Congrats! I am currently 5 1/2 months pregnant with #2... my workouts right now consist of Crossfit 4-5x a week, as well as a spinning class or a swim here and there. I had to take 2 months off between month 3-5 because of complications with the placenta but now im back and doing well. Just remember pregnancy is not some…

Thanks all! Women def should keep going! I think the only difference for me was that I did have issues that could have led to a miscarrage if I didnt stop but after 2 months it fixed itself . It's def hard getting back into Crossfit after a 2 month basically bed rest and starting back at 5 months , but it can be done! I'm…

Wow I don't know how you can predict this but it is ok to gain more :) I was super lean before I got pregnant and was super lean the entire time working out till I delivered and still gained the healthy 25-30. Half of it was gone after about a week... but it does take time. I got back into the bikini at 10 weeks post…

I can't do more than like 3 pushups on my toes, but have no problem knocking out 10 hspu with 2 ab mats at a time.. Someone showed me how to "kip" them and once I learned that... it was so easy!!! I hated doing them on the box modified, so I am grateful to have gotten that kip down.. if you learn that, you won't go back!…

get yourself a pumice stone and callus cream and use it everyday in the shower.. this will help toughen up your hands and keep them from ripping.. mine ripped often until I started doing this

A lot of people on here will say its dangerous, or too much or some crap... give it a shot for yourself, maybe you'll hate it, maybe you'll love it.. I have been doing it since November and love it.. my husband now does it also, but we were both looking for something where we challenge ourselves. I have never been hurt at…

I only drink maybe 2x a month and only have 1 fruit a day (strawberries 1/2 cup) after a workout .. Actually made some developments.. I recently saw a friend who i had been swimming with and he said I looked like so great, like I had lost fat but gained a lot of muscle.. so maybe the scale is just not my friend :)... I got…

Thank you. I love exercising though.. I tore my mcl 3 months ago and was off crossfit for 2 months and it killed me.. for the time being I can no longer play the sports I love like hockey and volleyball and rollerblading, so getting my wod it makes me happy and keeps my stress down . I have a great job where I work from…

100 power cleans @ 85 lbs for me... however, at every 2 minuites we had to do 2 over the bar burpees.. brutal! 17:54

amazing! congrats on sticking with it, now all those changes will be for a lifetime :)
