  • Right on! Lunges are another great bodyweight movement. Check out http://cfmoncton.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/comprehensive-bodyweight-workout-list-v15.pdf for complete workouts using bodyweight movements.
  • As a guideline for a 150 lb person, walking would be around 250 cal/hour whereas running a 5.5 minute/mile pace would be around 1200 cal/hour. It's likely that most one hour Crossfit classes would be somewhere between those two numbers. I've gone back through my log and have estimated my Crossfit sessions, including…
  • As a generalization, humans become attached to whatever carbohydrate source they learn to eat early in life, whether that is wheat, rice, potatoes or cassava. It's not surprising that most posters here would be attached to wheat, and be loath to voluntarily give it up. I personally removed grains, rice, potatoes, and…
  • Over training is common and counter productive. Few people can train hard six days a week. Especially if they work, study or do anything else other than train. In my experience, younger (35 and under) do best with five training days per week maximum, 36-50 four days per week, and 51+ 3 to four days per week. I'm assuming…

  • Impossible to say without knowing your weight, fitness level, and intensity of exercise. As a guideline for a 150 lb person, walking would be around 250 cal/hour whereas running a 5.5 minute/mile pace would be around 1200 cal/hour. On here I've been using circuit training, general for your type of exercise mix, and…
  • Unweighted exercises would be pull ups, push up, and variations thereof.
