peppermint-scented unicorn farts!! :laugh: and I guess I am talking about a few of my mfp 'friends' who every single day ask the same question (why am I not losing any weight?? i weigh myself 2349078x a day and I gained a pound since last week!) and DOZENS of people comment with great advice/suggestions/motivations/etc and…

I tried it for 3 weeks, and while it did make me more aware of all of the processed food I had been eating and didn't need for energy etc, it was too hard for me to eliminate oats, beans, and peanuts. But I heard it does help with digestive problems and clearing up skin! My sister-in-law has celiac's disease and she went…

That's helpful to know. I think I have always had the mindset of 'oh I can perfect this skill after a few times of practice' when in reality crossfit is a sport that needs a lot of work and dedication and time and commitment to be able to do the exercises with correct form and perhaps an Rx. This helps put things in the…

thanks so much for the advice! I cannot wait to Rx a WOD!

Yeah I am seeing how long it will take me to be able to do a snatch or just a simple clean correctly. My body isn't used to these movements but I feel encouraged from your comments and encouragement, thanks :blushing:

Yeah I did 5 days last week and I am not myself. Not sure if my calories aren't enough, or I am not stretching enough, or overtraining, but I may scale back to 3-4x and just do mobility and light cardio on off days. What do you do on non-crossfit days for activity?

Thank you for the suggestions! Rest days I hear are crucial and am not sure how many days on and off I am supposed to have. I understand a lot of boxes have 'fake' trainers but the one I will be going to has only CPT and crossfit certified trainers, plus a few are physical therapists and all seem to have a ton of…

OMG their cream cheese selections are amazeballs

mmmmm! will have to try that next

I do think it is important for those kinds of clients to weight train since building muscle is important and helps make cardio easier IMO (running or walking would be easier if they were adding leg raises, shallow squats, etc. since legs are stronger).

This is great thank you :happy:

Great post, thank you!

Are you in maintenance now that you have gone back to 1-2 cardio days?
-
That's generally what I was thinking as well.. just wasn't sure with more active clients and myself if cutting moderate cardio significantly would make much difference, especially if weight training was increased throughout the week.

Because what they teach you at school 5-7 years ago is always changing and evolving because that is what the fitness industry does. If I just went with what I was taught and never asked other fitness experts on here and never opened my mind to other up to date training and fitness methods then I might as well be that…

So if I were eating the proper calories and macro ratios, I could essentially lift 4-5x a week for an hour or so and lose fat, though it would be a slower process?

bump for later
