Because crossfit changes up the workouts, it's going to vary constantly. Generally, you will either be doing weight lifting, circuit training, or aerobics. You cam use a hrm to estimate, but beware that a hrm will not provide even remotely accurate calorie burns when lifting weights, or circuit training. or taking breaks…

SQUAT* Your back looks a little loose. Try bringing your elbows down and in to help tighten up your rhombus muscles more. * At the bottom of the squat you are rounding your shoulders forward in an attempt to get deeper. Keep that chest up. * Small amount of butt wink at the bottom, your hips are coming forward and rounding…

Toning generally means a combination of fat loss and muscular definition without significant bulk. Swimming can help with the fat loss, but will do nothing for the muscular definition. For best results, vary your workouts.* Drills (finger drags, thumb to thigh, kicking, reaches, power, etc) * Intervals (down and back as…

It doesnt burn any more calories than a regular yoga class of the same movement intensity (maybe 5 calories more or so). Heart Rate Monitors are able to calculate calorie burns by measuring the volume load placed on your heart during steady state aerobic exercise (like jogging, biking, etc). Yoga is not steady state. It is…

Either log it as circuit training, high impact aerobics, weight lifting, or calisthenics depending on the WOD

No. But the difference shouldn't be significant.

Overall solid. The angle makes it hard to say for sure on some of these:* Your walkout is big and chaotic. Get tight under the bar before unracking. Look up 3-step walkout. That will help prevent injuries as the weight gets heavier. * Looks like the weight is over the middle of your foot instead of over your heels. * Your…

* Sometimes there are also fractional plates that you can put on top of the machine. * Remember that the farther out on your arm the pad is the easier it is to do. You can adjust tension by adjusting your distance as well. * You may be able to attach a resistance band in some way. * Depending on how the pin adjusts the…

DOMS is generally soreness throughout the affected muscle group. Injury is a specific localized pain. Sprains begin to hurt worse the farther extended a muscle stretches.

Ok, how big of a stickler are you? Here's what it takes to accurately calculate calories burned from exercise.* VO2 Max * Resting Heart Rate * Maximum Heart Rate * Gender * Age * Weight * Percentage of body fat/Muscle mass * Minimal HR for aerobic uptake * Maximal HR for aerobic uptake * Average HR during steady state,…

Personally, any place that set goals based on a HRM being worn 12 hours a day is a place I would avoid. They are clearly idiots. Any goals they may have set are totally arbitrary and meaningless. Ignore them. Look to your own results, as others have said.

This may seem obvious, but find a trainer who actually lifts. Anybody can tell you the basics: dont let your knees go past your toes, dont arch your back. Only somebody who actually lifts will be able to spot weaknesses and suggest exercises to improve them. If all your trainer does is use machines, that's what your…

Rummage around in your attic and pull out the old Thigh Master :) Modified yoga should be possible. Plenty of things you can do with the stretchy bands. Crunches, situps, leg raises, scissors, crunchy frogs, etc.

They actually have it. Unfortunately it isn't very portable. Like you need a car to move it around. But getting exactly the right amount is a fools errand. Your body isn't a machine. It varies. However, you can real close with an acceptable margin of error with the following:* Weigh all your food so you are using precise…

I went to check out a hot yoga class, and the instructor, the INSTRUCTOR said I could burn 4 times as many calories as a regular yoga class. I asked how, and she replied that it was because your heart rate got so much higher. I just thanked her and left. Hard to take them seriously when they don't even understand basic…

The general advice is 48 hours between working a body part again. Lots of variables in that though, but you won't go wrong. Plenty of split workout routines available online. Get some inspiration there.

600 calories in 45 minutes is a PHENOMENAL pace. You are talking about 13,333 calories per minute. To get that kind of burn with steady state aerobics (no stopping whatsoever), a 200 lb 34 yr old woman would have to keep her heart rate at about 190 beats per minute. The max for that age would only be 184. In other words,…

Follow the program. Start from the bar. If the bar is too heavy, start with a lighter bar. He has vids on his site on how to do each exercise. Watch them. Video yourself each set, watch and correct. Focus on form & technique. Let the weight come with time. Join the Stronglifts group here on MFP.
-
Try out any beginner program, such as Stronglifts 5x5, Starting Strength, New Rules Of Lifting For Women, Strong Curves. Most have videos to accompany the lifts.

HRM is going to be a poor estimate of calories burned in a jump place anyway. It is assuming steady state aerobics, and I doubt you will be either steady state or aerobic throughout your time at the jump place. But yes, most HRM calorie calcs are gross estimates, so subtract your bmr per hour from that.

Protein should be between 1 gram of protein per pound of lean muscle mass all the way up to 1 gram of protein per pound of muscle mass. Insoluble fiber can't be utilized by the body. It doesn't add to caloric intake. Which is why it's a good way to help you eat a lot without packing on an extraordinary amount of weight.
-
Lots of protein and insoluble fiber.

* All exercise breaks down muscle for energy. * Some exercise, often called weight lifting, creates microscopic tears, that when repaired during rest leads to muscle growth. * To do this you should be using the anaerobic energy chain (glycogen stored in the muscles). * Any exercise where you can do more than 20 reps…
