CF is a lot of fun and helps provide a very general fitness, but one of the tenants is even to go out and try fun new activities. In other words it is basically encouraged to have things outside of CF that you enjoy. For me I dabble a lot....like rock climbing, running, trying parkour, trying silk climbing, I keep meaning…

CrossFit Listbeth is awesome and definitely a good WOD of hers for dealing with the haters. Also if you are like me and like some rebuttals here are some rebuttals to haters: http://www.crossfit.com/cf-affiliates/2012/02/tuesday_120214.html

There a crossfit group if y'all are interested http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/99-crossfit-love

To keep with the sports metaphors...Ladies I don't think you are jumping in where you don't belong as much as cheer-leading on conversation/concept... I mean if I can manage to use sports metaphors anyone can (don't really watch sports although sometimes play, but mostly a nerd...no, this part in parenthesis is not meant…

Crossfit basically is getting a trainer and being a part of a community....

Personally I'd prefer she'd help me fix it, not just tell me my forms sucks :P

As long as a girl is staying off the 'roids, having muscle looks hot! Let's all stay off 'roids....

Compound lifts are wonderful! As it goes with weight, I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about being too strong, but too weak can be a hindrance....

I'm friendly, if you are still looking

Maybe the poster of the first comment didn't read the subtitle of the book "Lifting like a man, look like a godess"...

This thread is full of win...

Great work, awesome that you are smiling in both pictures =D

Frankly I'd say sure, heck I did a full without having run longer than a half...finish time 4:20:36 or a 9:56 pace...

There is a branch (I guess that's what I'd call it) of CrossFit towards endurance sports. It combines CF methodology with endurance training. You might check it out (CrossFit Endurance) for after your marathon...although CFE and CF are meant to being done in combination not just CFE by itself.

Old thread got to long and hence the jump to a new thread

GERONIMO! So I was doing a half marathon back in October and I kept seeing people holding these awesome signs for a runner...now you must be wondering why were these signs awesome, that is simple cause they had a daft blue box on them!

I might be having a slow moment, but I think nuts and dairy aren't a part of paleo....just eggs. So eggs would be the only thing not okay on that. Then again I haven't yet tried to go paleo (although I probably should try it). Nerd Fitness's Angry Bird Workout seems quality =D

My gym did an 80's day recently...I heard someone mentioned they might wear a sweatershirt for Bayside

Amy, Glad you enjoyed foundations and are deciding to make a habit of CrossFit. We all have things we are working on (double unders are still quite a stumbling block for me). Just keep having fun and working hard, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the progress you see come along. =D Maxwell (Max)

There isn't some paleo requirement, but a lot of people do it because it can help speed up efforts. Good luck to both of you and I look forward to hearing what you think

Is it bad that I can't wait to till masters cause I'll probably stand a much better chance then heheh plus provides plenty of time to train!

I can't wait for rings to go up at my gym...so far I only get about half way through the transition on the bar before gravity takes hold again and I hear learning on the rings is how a lot of folks start...

bump for awesomeness

Recently went with another MFPer and donated (this past weekend actually)

Somebody posted this in my box's Facebook group and figured people might get a kick out of it... http://www.sicfit.com/blog/40774

Saw this on facebook and shared it....so glad that it seems like women are getting better about realizing lifting is a good thing (a very good thing)

I've been reading about it for months...SOPA has at least gotten delayed, but PIPA is still making its way through...

So far I think I can support the direction this thread has gone...glad it hasn't been backing the OP

I've used OKC, but I've kinda given up since it seems like I don't hear back when I message girls and I feel like I've looked through everyone remotely interesting in my area. I've met some interesting/good people through it

If you like the internet just say no to SOPA/PIPA! Also probably should let your elected officials know your feelings on the matter
