Any fun, creative exercise ideas? Please help!
Hi everyone - I am in Army ROTC at my college, and my class is in charge of writing a few weeks worth of PT plans for the other classes. (Pt being 3x a week) A lot of our plans were rejected for being too boring and repetitive, and we were told by our cadre that we needed creative, fun, pt plans. Our PT runs from 0645 -…

How often do you crossfit?
Hi everyone - I'm new to the group and crossfitting, I was wondering how many WOD's you get in every week. I did some googling and crossfit.com recommends 2 days on/1 day off or even 3 days on/1 day off. Currently I've been doing 1 day off/ 1 day on. On my off days, I will get in other exercise such as running or using the…

Why the scale should have NOTHING on you. (pics)
I took some progress pictures today and I would like to share them with you. First, here is me almost 5 years ago. I was a junior in high school. I had gone down from my normal weight of 140ish to somewhere between 110-120 lbs. I was going under a lot of stress with college,job,extracurriculars,family,etc and so I lost my…

Worst date you've ever been on?

My confusing results! Your input requested! (underwear pics.
Ok first and foremost, sorry for the underwear but this is the only way you can really see the difference.... I took some before and after pictures and I am pretty confused by the results.

This is why muscle is awesome.
Hi everyone. I've never posted here because I'm still a work in progress with a long way to go. But I figured I would share this with you all because it has made me think about my fitness a bit differently. Yesterday I was weighed and I was the HIGHEST weight I have ever been... 158 lbs. ....And I didn't really feel bad…

What is your (non-fitness related) new years resolution(s)?
I only say non-fitness because it's safe to assume that since we're on this website we have some sort of goal related to that ;) Here's a few of mine: - get A's in all of my classes - stop doing things at the last minute - stop biting my nails - go out more (very hard for me... in the winter especially... it is cold and I…

Question about lifting.
Hi all - I have been wondering about this and I figured I would get some opinions. My goals are to lose fat and replace it with muscle - I wouldn't mind if I lost some weight but that's not the major goal. Would I have to go to the gym and start lifting weights to do this? I know this seems like a stupid question, but hear…

Feeling self conscious around family?
For Thanksgiving I visited my stepmom's family down in Florida, and for the first time in a long time I just felt very self conscious and weird about my body around them. My stepmom's family are built very tiny... small shoulders, small chests, small waists, small everything. My stepmom for example is 5'2, and has weighed…

Hi all!

I'm 20, a soldier in the National Guard, I just got back from 5 months of training a few weeks ago and have been enjoying some r and r... now it's back to…
