CrossFit: Kick in the pants

Right now, while your already spending your time on the “Internets”, click over to CrossFit and read just a few pages (1,2,3) about this amazing fitness program that I think *anyone* can do, reguardless of current fitness level, physical limits, or financial situation. If you’re currently not satisified with ANY part of your exercise program, and are willing to put in more effort and less time, I ask you to consider this simple yet unusual program (compared to the “big box fitness marketing”).

I’ve been a Zone diet fan for almost a decade, but always fell in and out of the discipline of controlling my hormones via controlling my macronutrient levels of food intake.  Recently, I started to consume all sorts of information about CrossFit methodoligy and techniques, which has also lead me back to the Zone, which, like you would expect, leads you back to CrossFit.

Loved the punishing workout I  received by Thomi and Pat of CrossFit Virginia Beach so much we’re already signed up for more instruction/pain in what I’m sure will be a life changing fitness program for us.

Becoming a runner

I’ve been on a treadmill or on the road 5 days or more a week for most of 10 months. Using tools like Nike+, iPod, and Spark People has helped make the last 40 pounds melt away. I’ve got 30 more to loose before I should be around %15 body fat. I’m finding that controlling my intake to 1500 calories a day is harder then burning 500 off a day. Ever since reading Ron Brown‘s book I’ve been determined to be in a negative calorie mode each day of -1000 kcal’s. That should get me close to loosing 2lbs a week, but often I’ll eat a big meal, something fried, or sweet… and end up only -500. I’m confident that it’s a lack of competition that prevents me from really going for it.
