Note to self: Add "going to the gym" to the list of things not to do with Freak.

But he's just going to stare at the bug on your shoe, he'll completely ignore your shorty shorts.

Or is it that you'd prefer to be noticed for your shorty shorts??

Jens legs are 4ft long.....they're all shorty shorts on her.

You need help with that?

:-P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't help it!!!

Nobody's saying it's a bad thing...don't be silly!

Sarah is a soon to be 40 year old mother of two. Now if she were twice her age...just sayin'.....

Heeeey now .. there's nothing wrong with what "those crossfit people" do.

I find crossfit has helped my running significantly.


Though I still refuse to do box jumps as they're stupid.

I feel the same way about burpees. NOT doing them.

Ditto to both of those!

Plus my hips can't handle burpees.

I have no problem with the concept of crossfit. I do many of the exercises myself. But I have a HUGE problem with many of the Crossfit instructors that I have seen because they should not be training other human beings to do anything. It just got tooo popular, too fast. And now there guys out there training people that dont know the first thing about biomechanics, kenesiology, teaching or gravity!
SO my advice to others (WW has experience) is to do alot of research before signing up for a crossfit gym.

I like TRX and my sledge hammer and tire....and weight lifting....and calesthenics.... and cycling....and swimming...and running.... and....
you get the idea.

Oh I agree - it's been very hard for me to handle CrossFit now that it's exploded. I've been CrossFitting for 4 years & the dynamic has definitely changed. It went from "Oh I can't wait to do that workout!" to "Why in the heck would I ever want to do that workout?"

I "auditioned" 5 gyms before finding one where the instructors are extremely knowledgable and rigid when it comes to safety. & their programming is fun again!


Am I the only one who likes burpees?

I have a love/hate relationship with burpees, the ab wheel and Chicken Vindaloo!

No. I have a girlfriend that does. But a question...how tall are you?

She's maybe 5'3"...I have a theory that they are easier for shorter people.

One leg burpees with a push-up...not too bad if one lets gravity pull you down for the push up part (but stop before smooshing on the floor). The jumping up part sometimes isn't too enthusiastic by round three.....

I agree. At nearly 6', I always feel awkward doing burpees.

I like Ab wheels, but mine disappeared...I have no idea where it rolled off to!

I'm 5'2". & I'm not short ... God just stops when he reaches perfection.

!! Awesome!

Well you are almost as tall as my dad and would tower over my mom. I am 6'1'.
You and my folks are just "stealth tall".

Oops...sorry, I didn't meant to be offensive. Ignore Ginormica over here.

@ Jen!

Most females are shorter than the Jen's of the world.
