Carrying. The only thing I do currently is run. Maybe 2x per week in average. 4-5 miles each time.

Which type of structured program is better for losing weight and getting generally fit?

Crossfit can be dangerous.

Ask someone one that Crossfit's to do a pull up.

Not true. We do both strict and kipping at my gym. The whole point of kipping

I stand corrected. Both of my friends that do Crossfit can't do a standard pull

Yeah, and I completely believe you.

You mean kipping helps speed up labrum tears, impingement, osteoarthritis,

CarolinaCoug

I get it, I do. The point of kipping is to knock out dozens of reps in a short

Correct

AGREED.

It's great for ruining your shoulders

Noticed that right away actually as someone with a bad shoulder

CarolinaCoug

7/20/17 6:24am

Even better for engaging lower back on lifts

RedlandsCoug

I already have bad shoulders, so crossfit sounds like a bad fit.

If you were pretty out of shape though..ANY program

CarolinaCoug

7/20/17 6:28am

Mostly I need a program, some peer pressure and a bit of competition.

Is there no one in your ward, neighborhood,work,or on cb you can

Don't waste your money. You'll be spending 120/month

Alister Mackenzie

I know what to do (fitness related), but struggle with the motivation and commitment. I have $120/month to waste.

Depends on if you wanna decorate your vehicle with bumper stickers and advertise your choice

MormonDevil

OT is great. I highly recommend it over Cross fit

VegasCoug

7/20/17 7:54am

OTF is an absolute waste of time and Crossfit is deceiving.

TheLoneCougar

7/20/17 7:56am

I absolutely hate cardio, so I use OT do my cardio

VegasCoug

7/20/17 8:05am

My dislike of OTF is that the results are difficult to see unless you are very

Understanding this sequence is not my problem. Doing it is my problem. I need to feel accountable through competition or

Hmm, well if you are here in the DFW area I could use a partner too!

TheLoneCougar

7/20/17 9:06am

Yup. Exactly my thoughts.

CarolinaCoug

And just be a cheap o and go to the crossfit website for the workout of the day.

coolblue

7/20/17 8:22am

That guy has some legitimate info. I love his videos on technique.

kotacoug

7/20/17 8:47am

He really does know his stuff but I couldn't take his excessive saliva/Lou Holtz speaking

Zach Morris

7/20/17 9:02am

Haha! Good info though.

kotacoug

7/20/17 9:07am

TBH, I haven't every seen his stuff but 6 minute muscle workout? I have a hard

TheLoneCougar

7/20/17 9:08am

Jeff Cavaliere, the guy behind athleanX is ridiculously knowledgeable and informative.

Zach Morris

7/20/17 9:11am

I'm not trying to stir anything up, but I generally spend roughly 75 minutes

TheLoneCougar

7/20/17 9:20am

The average working adult doesn't have the time of the desire to spend 75 minutes on one

Zach Morris

7/20/17 9:22am

Well,it's also for pro athletes. Jeff is a pro athlete trainer.

CarolinaCoug

7/20/17 1:00pm

You aren't stirring g anything up. JEFF wouldn't balk at a 75 minute workout

CarolinaCoug

7/20/17 12:56pm

No..he is doing it for a purpose and to demonstrate spmething
