It's a program that's geared towards all-around fitness - includes heavy lifting (Olympic lifts), speed work, bodyweight exercises e.g. pull-ups, etc. Generally, every workout is different, although there are a couple of benchmark workouts that you can do every month or however often you want to see how you've progressed. Some workouts are very endurance/speed-geared, whereas others are pretty low-intensity and focus on building strength. It's a good thing to get into if you like really challenging stuff and are bored with the regular gym stuff. I'd say it's the next step up from bootcamps.

I was just checking out Crossfit online. I'm thinking about signing up, but a little worried it may be a little too advanced for me.

What do you do now?

There are still some things I cannot do, e.g. skin-the-cats, but generally, if I had a dime for every day I looked at the workout for the day, thought "Holy crap, no way I could handle this," and then finished, I'd be rich.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
