Crossfit. Anyone wanna join me?

[scrub-jay]

Hmmm, I would be less than happy with that suggestion from my SO, holy moly.

This. I can do pushups, but not pullups... Sorry, I'm out too.

I have a lot of clients who do Crossfit, and love it. For the most part, it has changed their lives for the better. Crossfit is different than P90X in that Crossfit competitors have weekly competitions against each other, and there are "Crossfit Games" held all over the country.

The downside is you can easily injure yourself with all the heavy lifting, so you need to be extra careful.

OMG I can't even do 1 pull up

Me either...I do modified ones with a chair

You seriously might look into P90X. I did it and did like it. I'm thinking of doing it again after the baby is born because it is easy to do from home. Nothing works if you aren't eating right with it, though...

Please tell me that the whole "breastfeeding helps you lose weight" isn't a myth!

My sister swears by Turbofire - she has lost 12 inches in the last few months, I can't wait to see her next week.

I would love to do a boot camp if I could find a time to do it without the kids but I think she's going to copy her Turbofire and I'll start there since I gave up my gym membership.

haha! I didn't lose weight until dd wasn't relying on me as her primary food source. It does help you lose weight, but if I didn't eat excess calories I lost milk supply before I lost weight.

I have a good friend who loves turbofire. She says it's actually fun, not like p90x. (she and I share a mutual hate for Tony Horton, so we got annoyed with p90x very quickly). She's kind of plateaued recently, but I'm not sure if it's because of the workouts or her diet.

Yes, my sister will tell you that she has done it in conjunction with Weight Watchers - she attributes the weight loss to WW but the inches to Turbofire.

Turbofire is done by Chalene Johnson who also did Chalene Extreme. One is more cardio and the other heavy weights. I prefer the one with heavy weights but all her products are great and she is a ton of fun

It does sound like P90X, which some people love.

This - what the hell?

I couldn't do pull-ups when I was skinny. Now I think my body would crash to the floor and leave my arms hanging on the bar.

If my DH sent me that email I would kick his ass into the next century. I hope your SO is totally into fitness himself and this was just a bumbling way to get you involved.

[PrincessFiona]

Lol. People sure are quick to anger around here! Dh and I have been sending each other exceecise bike messages etc fir the last 3 weeks. We've been talking about joining a gym and I just sent him a link to a men's Zumba class free this weekend. Hope he wasn't insulted.

There's something about DH telling me to workout that deeply offends me. Oddly, if you told me to, I would say "cool, when do we start??" Honestly, if DH sent me an email about how to keep your house looking like a magazine spread with success story photos, I'd get irate about that too. I think it's all about what gets me feeling defensive.

"I think its his way of saying I need to hit the gym" rather than "we're working to keep each other motivated or I've asked for his help". WHOLE different ball of wax.

[peggyfromwastate]

If my dh says "are you going to the gym tonight" it's bc he wants to go and he knows I hate going at night bc I can't sleep after exercising. But just cuz I'm a brat I say "oh so you think I'm fat?". I think that's the natural extention when a dh asks the dw if she's going to work out. No matter what the dh intends!!

[PrincessFiona]

Ahhh. I missed that. Oh, Chris, when did we say we were starting? I'm hitting my first Zumba class today. If DH comments even on the house I hit the roof, btw. If he told me to lose weight I'd probably get so upset that I'd comfort myself with a quarter pounder with cheese and fries!
