CrossFit

G'day one and all, I have been doing CrossFit now for a little under 12 months and it has me hooked.

One of the reason that I really enjoy it is the variety and range of exercises that are used to engage our bodies and potential. Exercises can also be scaled back, I have yet to master the muscle up, so pullups were utilised.

Today we did a Chipper and it was brutal.(See Below Image) I use a Charge HR to track my training and I always have a bit of a laugh when I try to marry up my training with the heart rate being recorded. There are a couple of times when I can pinpoint where my lungs have left my body during a CrossFit session. 

Does anyone else do this?

Cheers

My hats off to you - but I think I'm a bit too old for crossfit. I can barely do a squat without wincing, my knees are so bad. Too bad, too. I used to be able to hoist a good bit. Even a burpee would cause me undue stress. 

I tend to joke on Facebook that it takes me longer to get up off the ground than it does for me to do the 50 push ups I got down on the ground to do. 

But, the more weight I lose, the more I eat right, and the more I learn about supplements and foods that counter inflammation, I may yet be able to do box jumps again. 

I think I'd like the variety - but some of those movements would have me in agony during and long after the training.
