Trying to lose 20-30lbs (again!)
Hey yall. I'm in the process of trying to get 20-30lbs off. I know what to do and how to do it but I'd love some motivational buddies! I'm 35, 5'2, 163 currently, goal is 130-140. I'm a mom to two, work full time and a coffee and fitness addict. I had a spinal fusion in 2016 which knocked me off my wagon. I was in the best…

Anyone in here had spinal fusion and returned to Cf?
I'd love to meet other Cf people who have had spinal fusion and been able to return to lifting. I had a spinal 360 fusion of the L5-S1 in June of this year. I had spinal stenosis and had herniated it twice in the past year and a half. Was in so much pain, I was in tears turning over in bed at night. I'm so much better…

Any weight lifters or crossfitters here had spinal fusion?
I'd love to meet other weightlifters who have had spinal fusion. I had a spinal 360 fusion of the L5-S1 in June of this year.

How many times a week do you do the WOD?
Curious how many times you guys CF a week? I am also a huge biker and into triathlons but I have fallen in love with crossfit since joining 4 months ago. It has also helped me become a strong biker. Anyway, I asked my Tri coach to at least plan 2 CF days a week for me. I would love to go every single day but I have to…

Questions about 920xt
I love my 920xt that I have had for about 2 months or so now but I find it isn't very actuate. It is always off on my swims. Really frustrating as part of the reason I got it was so I wouldn't have to keep track of my laps. It is usually over by 75-150 meters on a 1000 meter swim. I'm guessing it's user error. Any ideas or…

Question for all you pros....
Ok, so I just found this group. I didn't realize at first there was a Triathletes/duathletes group on here. Very cool! I am hoping to get your advice and opinion on how to train for my first tri-sprint. Not sure if I should just repost the question here or link it? I guess I will just post a link, as I don't want the…

Foam roller or stick roller?
So I know very little about both although I do have a foam roller I got a couple months ago. I don't use it as much as I should as I still am not really sure how to use it properly. But the areas I do, it makes a huge different when I am sore. I am just curious what others think of the two? Is one better than the other?…

Any Triathletes out there...
I would love to chat with some people who have done any Triathlons. I am currently only interested in a sprint. Honestly that alone has me quivering in my boots, mainly because of the swimming. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE road biking. I have a Fuji Road bike that I ride about 3x a week. I go anywhere between 20-40 miles on an…

How to train?
What is the best way to go about training to enable myself to go farther on my rides? I started riding about 3 months ago. I started at about 10 miles a day. I road about 5x a week for the 8-10 weeks. Lately I go about 15-18 miles Tue and Thur, weight train with some cardio on Mon, Wed, Fri. Then let my body rest on Sat. I…

newbie biker question..
Warning: possibly stupid newbie questions. ;-) Ok, so I just started biking. I do about 5 mi a day 5-6 days a week around our neighborhood and town. I am loving it. Especially since I have recently had to slack off working out due to my knees going out on me. I have sliding patellas and the cartiledge is being worn down.…

Ourdoor bicycling...
I have been in a bit of a fitness slump since about March, when my knees gave out (due to sliding knee caps and cartilige grinding). Now it is almost June and after having 3 series of joint juice, as I call it, I am pretty much ready to start (carefully) jamming it out again. Since starting to really get into working out…
