Thanks again. The only reason I was asking about classes and programs and such is because I was hoping there was a reasonable alternative to crossfit where I could learn proper heavy lifts and/or very advanced calisthenics/basic gymnastics. Crossfit gets a lot a crap from people, and for good reason, but they're one of the…

I don't want to seem like I'm fighting with you since I think you're advice is pretty reasonable and you're actually trying to help, but I don't think you actually read all my responses. I said I wanted to at least try to get some hands on training from someone who knows what they are doing. Ideally I'd find someone with a…

Thanks, Im aware of those programs and Ive dabbled in them before, but I really feel like I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't at least try to get some hands on training from someone who actually knows what they're doing. Online form checks and discussion boards just aren't going cut it. Plus I'll probably have to…

I'm totally fine with keeping track of my progress just as long as it's actually possible to do so. I have to have specific numbers that I can easily remember and write down after every workout. That's a real pain if you're doing twenty different exercises at each workout, and the trainer keeps changing them every week for…

Whoa, I was just thinking of that. I was looking at their youtube channel and saw that they actually have clear progressions listed for several different bodyweight exercises. That's a rarity as far as I can tell. Are the trainers aware of those progressions (and others) and do they actually implement them in the classes?

I figured somebody might already have this info since its a super common brand and soooo many people must want to know. I dont really need to know every detail about how they calculate calorie burn. Weight alone should allow me to make a very rough estimate, and thats fine by me. Rosie, your right, Ive always seen 150 -…

My heart rate is now normal as far as I can tell. 60 BPM in the morning, 140-150 during moderate exercise, 160 to 165 for hard endurance exercise, 180 for EXTREMELY difficult nausea inducing 400 meter sprints. I don't even do the sprints anymore because they were making me absolutely hate exercise. I'm pretty sure I was…

Thanks guys. I actually do have an HRM but in the past I've had issues with using an hrm to count calories because my heart rate would shoot up so high. Unlike most people on here, HRM's tended to give me higher calorie counts then the gym machines did. Sometimes it was much, much higher. People often seem to forget that…

I was just wondering, do you mean you overrate by 600 calories per day? I thought it might be a typo because it's really not much. A 600 calorie surplus is not much to worry about. As long as you go back to your maintenance calories soon you should be just fine.
