Online metafit workouts?
Does anyone know of any sites that post decent metafit workouts? I'm looking to try it out, however the classes locally are either really inconveniently located or timed, or because I live in a small place, a couple of *kitten* I know and dislike attend and I don't want to run into them. So it would be great if I could…

Gloves vs No Gloves?
Does anyone else wear gloves for crossfit? They're kinda frowned upon at my box. I would rather put the time in to build up a decent callous, but at the moment I wear them because i'm renovating a house and I can't afford to have shredded hands while i'm using things like plaster, paint stripper, cement powder etc. That…

Video analysis
My box uses video analysis on lifts for the members on the "super unlimited membership". Last night there wasn't many people in my session so I had my squat clean and jerk analysed even though i'm not on the super memebership. I thought I was pretty good at those lifts, but following the video, apparently not so much!…

House renovation vs exercise
I'm consistenty over my calorie intake at the moment. Haven't got much time for exercise as i'm renovating my house. However this doesn't count as exercise on MFP so there's no way to log it. I wouldn't know where to start estimating the calories burnt doing some of the things I'm doing! How many calories do plasterers,…

Muscle vs Fat
I've read quite a lot on the message boards that muscle weighs more than fat. And its really annoying me because it doesn't! 1lb of muscle is the same weight as 1lb of fat!!!! The difference is the muscle is denser, and takes up less space than fat, so it looks better to pack pounds of lean, dense, tightly packed muscle…

Too much fiber?
At the moment i'm sticking to my calories and doing lots of exercise, but according to the numbers i'm eating "too much fibre". I pretty much always go over the target every day even though my calories, fat, sat fat, carbs and protein are all ok. Is too much fibre bad for you? Can you eat too much fibre?!

Pins and Needles?
Does anyone else get pins and needles in their feet when they've been using an elliptical trainer for a while? I assume its because you're not lifting your feet off the machine like you would running on the treadmill, but its really annoying me and I wonder if i'm the only one?!
