How do you have time for all of that??

Yay!! :) CF is the only exercise I like too.

I never feel fit, so... I'm just getting to where I'm not dead last at everything in the past month or two. I haven't tried a "regular" exercise class in a very long time, though!

Are you sore, or are you OMG CAN'T MOVE sore (or injured sore)? If it's the first, go ahead and go. It'll loosen everything up for you. If it's the second, stay home! If it's somewhere in the middle, go with your gut! Good luck! :)

It looks like you haven't come across a jerk yet? I think that's the other most commonly snickered-at movement name. I've never had it break my concentration, though, mostly because if a coach is talking to me, I'm tooooootally listening. I'd rather not break myself.

Parenting. :laugh: I CF 4-5 times a week and don't do anything else. CF is still the only exercise I've found that I don't loathe with every fiber of my being.

Present! :) I've been CF'ing since July, feel free to add me!

Whoa. I...don't even know what I would do with 90 mins to myself 3x a week.

For me, 1) restricting calories too much and 2) when my anxiety disorder isn't controlled (lately this seems to translate to me not being able to get to the gym enough).

1) Do not think that she looks great "all things considered." Don't qualify that she looks great, she just does. Even if you don't SAY that, I can guarantee that she knows you think it. 2) Has she looked into whether she has diastasis recti? It's extremely common and would mess with her core strength. Also, if she had a…

Ditto this! It's a great idea for a class, though!

What is WITH that chick?? :noway:

I'm having issues with minimalist shoes and my ankle. Basically it feels like there isn't enough ankle support when I do anything with any impact. Can you do CF in regular crosstrainers??

Hello! Are you training where you were WOD'ing before??

Howdy! :) I'll friend you. Welcome to the Land of Awesome!

I love my Nano 3.0's. My feet shrunk and I'm now buying my second pair (NOT real happy about that, but it IS funny that my feet shrunk...).

You've never hit a time cap before?? Wow, that's impressive on its own! I never would have finished that in 30 mins. I've been frustrated enough with my performance that I got really upset, yeah. It happens! Now if you do that one again, you'll know how much stronger/faster/etc you are. Hang in there!

I would eat dairy if I could tolerate it! Nom.

That's awesome!! I upped my DL PR by 50 lbs not too long ago. Awesome feeling. :)

I eat Paleo and do EMTWL. I don't do low-carb, though, mine are typically 150-200g a day. You definitely can do this while eating Paleo!

If you fail the test, it means your child needs you to eat differently while you're growing him/her. I'm not sure why you would refuse the test?

Yep, that's probably right. Have you compared it to any of the TDEE calculators out there? I'd love to do real body fat testing!

Yeah, I would imagine that's why. CF has shown me muscles in places I had NO clue about. :)

Hahaha. I laugh so I don't cry. Lol. I've been doing CF for 3 months and overall, the scale is up half a lb. I eat strict paleo, count my cals and stay at TDEE minus 10%, and...no scale movement. However, I can see changes all over, and I'm down 1.5-2 clothing sizes. I'm trying to give up my scale dependence. It's hard for…

If your primary goal is watching the scale go down, CF may not be for you. It does not play well with the scale.

Shoulder, yes. From a friend who tried something she didn't know how to do (her description of events, not mine!).

YAY!! I've been a lifelong NON-athlete and have shocked myself with what my body can do. I'm so glad you loved it!

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Good luck!! :)

I've been doing CF for 2.5 mos, also starting from completely out of shape. I can't do anything on the bar unmodified yet, and I don't see that changing any time soon. But I AM stronger and WAY the heck more fit than I was when I started, and that's how I keep myself from feeling bad when I can't do something. I started…

Just wanted to update - I've lost 2 lbs since I bumped my activity down! I think RMK was right on, I was up too high on activity. Basically I did a 6-week metabolism reset accidentally. :) Just wanted to say thank you again for the help!
