Guys, my friend just mentioned about this gym here in our city that have this great workout called crossfit.

I watched some videos, and i found it very cool, but not sure i can do it weighing 220lb hahaha

Any thoughts?

I have a friend who was doing Cross fit when I met her. I think she was around 260ish. It has been great for her but it is really hard. See if you can get a free week at the gym or a free class. Also check with your doctor before starting. There are other posts about this is you do a search they should some up.

Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!! Did I say Yes! I started Crossfit at 230 in December. I LOVE IT!!!!! Hardest thing I have done in my life but it is worth it. I am stronger, healthier, and happier! Eugh! I want to type you a whole book on this but I have to get to a t-ball game! I will come back tonight and tell you why I am so passionate about it and I post pictures of the results I am getting

Trisket! Please share everything withe me lol

I'm going to try my first free class tomorrow, and hopefully start with full force on monday (if i can lol)

I'm super excited!!

I'm in between games so I can type a little bit. I was so scared to start crossfit. I had been working out a lot at a gym and I asked the guy that taught cf if they had a crossfit for dummies! He said it was all for dummies! I ended up trying another crossfit box in my town because the price was right and a parent at my school recommended it. I was scared to death. When you start a good coach will modify for you and usually you only do half the workout or so depending on what it is. I had my band done in late June and I was 276. My CF coach takes measurements every month and I was 230 for my January measurements. I am now 207 but as much as I have been loosing fat I know I have been gaining muscle. I did a body fat test where they submerged you in water and I came out to be 23.9% body fat which just floored me! I was so sure it was going to be more but I have 156 lbs of lean mass (muscles, organs, bones, etc.) and only 49 lbs of fat on my body. Still quite a bit of fat but I am considered in a "average" range. If I loose 9 more pounds of fat then I will be in the "athletic" range! When I started I was doing 2 days a week for the 1st month, 3 days for the 2nd month, and now I go 5-7 days a week. Sometimes I do the workout twice a day. I am usually sore and exhausted but I am in the best shape of my life. I love stalking my coaches' page to see what my workout tomorrow will be. Youtube was my best friend when I first started because I would look up the workout then go see a video of what in the world that meant! It won't take you long to get the crossfit lingo down. If you would have told me a few months ago I would be able to do a freaking handstand I would have said you were crazy but that is just one skill I have been able to accomplish!

Omg! How exciting?

I'm not much of a gym person! I hate walking lol if i jump in the treadmill i rather run, so i can reach my goal quicker lol so i think crossfit is what i need! A crazy quickly workout! (Not that boreness from regular gym)

This place im going to see is a crossfit only space..

Im cant wait to reach my 200lb goal! (I'm 235 as today).. I lost a almost 30lb since banded 6 weeks ago, and my skin is already getting saggy. I need to go crazy on exercise to be where i want to be!

I did work out quite a bit before I started crossfit but I took lots of classes and I ran. Currently the only class I take is Zumba which my cf family give me a hard time about but I like to shake my butt and it helps out my cardio. On Wed. I do cf then I leave there and go to zumba. I usually don't have time to even stop sweating yet! Now I have lost weight slower since I have started cf. Prior I was losing 8 to 10 a month but you can see the muscles in my legs, quads, and arms. My neck and shoulders are also starting to come out. I decided I would much rather have muscles take up space than fat or extra skin.

OMG! Good for you all! Cross fit totally kicked my a$$! Good stuff but I couldn't walk for a week after. Good luck to you and enjoy.

I started crossfit in nov 2012 at a size 20 I'm now a size 16. At first i was scared and nervous and couldn't do some of the stuff i simply couldn't lift my body enough. I couldn't litterally jump a half inch off the ground now i can jump 12 inches.

My husband is a trainer and its just a bonus to the band. If i don't workout i don't lose.. Period. I am a huge advocate for cross fit cause like anything else if you stick.with it you see results. And fast! I think we should make a crossfit band group on this forum!

And you motivated me to give it a go when able to exercise again

My oldest son did it and loved it. I looked into it, but the price was sooooo expensive per month

I started cross fit/boot camp last night. It was pricey at 130 for 4 weeks twice a week. But I love it. Already one day in and I have so much energy this am I haven't stopped moving at work. Its definitely worth the money!!!!

And you motivated me to give it a go when able to exercise again

Have you been able to exercise again yet?

Have you been able to exercise again yet?

Yes but I'm taking it slow.. I'm going to the gym as much as possible but once I start feeling the area my port is in I take it easy.

For now my main goal is to burn more calories every time I go.

I was able to get my first fill wed after stuff kept happening at work the last two/three weeks. Luckily I'm on my feet all day and night with my jobs so I do burn calories from all the running around I do.

I just started crossfit I'm June. I'm still completing my beginner classes and my son is doing it with me. We are both sore but are loving it so far. I think it will be adicting. I also went out and bought my own kettlebell to do some stuff at home...

I just did a body fat test today and was not happy with the results. I was at 30 percent. I am about 17 lbs from goal, which I have gained about 8 lbs in the last few months. Which is why I joined crossfit. I need to get my body fat down to the lower 20s. I hope this crossfit helps!!
