Heartnsoul Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm a 30 something mom of 3. In High School I was an athlete. Played varsity sports year round, lifted weights, and ran. Fast Fwd 15 yrs. 3 kids later. Been in and out of a couple gyms, no real direction or results after several months so I gave up. Now I'm ready! Tried crossfit basics and I'm sore so I'm guessing that's good. However I'm slow and lacking energy. Need to learn to cook healthier too. I count calories but feel tired and sluggish at home and at the gym. I'm torn on continuing with crossfit, or stick to my regular gym which has a little more variety(and is cheaper!). My goals are: drop about 10 lbs of fat and lean out. Probably need to gain 10 lbs of muscle. So kind of a swap. HahaMy stats are: 5'5 fluctuate btwn 146&150 lbs I'm a slow runner but somewhat strong for someone who has sat the bench for so long. *the crossfit class I would be in if I decide to join is a basics class(mostly cardio driven), no weights until you move up to actual CF class. *also, I'm going to try a hiit class next week. In addition to that I would rotate between a p90x type class and spin, with one day of hiit in between. Total 3 days per week OR I can Just do crossfit basics 3 days a week. Link to comment

Oklibrarian Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I can see the crossfit people every morning as I walk into my new gym, they keep a door open as they're always dashing in and out of the 'dungeon' to do laps of the parking lot. I am awed and a little terrified by what I see in those brief glimpses, because my fitness level isn't there.Yet.And welcome aboard here! You'll fit right in.

If you were "there", you wouldn't need CrossFit. It's for everyone, no matter your fitness level, that's the best part about it. lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
Heartnsoul Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hi and thank you for the responses. I agree w what he's saying here about any level of fitness can do it, you can scale the workouts, and that is why I like it so much. Very addictive! It's like ugh when i get there and see the tough WOD on the board, but it's like ahhhh when I leave. kwim Link to comment
