Join today! It will be the best thing you have done for yourself....EVER.</p> <p>At my box, many people eat Paleo or paleo-ish (some people make lifestyle allowances for sanity and health), but others eat whatever, whenever (they usually just don't discuss). </p> <p>And a ten minute CrossFit workout can be more brutal than doing cardio for an hour. Snaps to everything Sarah said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-291236 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 17:15:17 +0000 Sarah 291236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for Steph... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-287395 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:39:12 +0000 Sarah 287395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks for bumping this Kate!</p> <p>FWIW, we do have some vegetarians at our box. I don't know how they manage, though. You aren't forced to eat Paleo at Crossfit, but it is encouraged. I have noticed better results having switched to Paleo, but it isn't for everyone. I know you could do the work and be a vegetarian.</p> <p>Isis, not every workout is 10 minutes. Mine was last night, though. I did 21 squat cleans, 21 ring dips, 15 squat cleans, 15 ring dips, 9 squat cleans, 9 ring dips in 10:09. Tonight's workout is just 15 deadlifts, but with heavy, heavy weight so it won't take much time.</p> <p>Kate, it is expensive. I wish it wasn't, but it is. For me though, it's a #1 priority so it's pretty much all I do outside of bills, groceries, and gas money. I've taken a serious cut in shopping. My husband and I go six days a week, but we could cut back which will decrease the cost. Crossfit is a lifestyle for us, so it's been worth every penny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-287389 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:31:17 +0000 MsMary 287389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, fortunately it's only closed this particular coming Saturday. So my plan is to check out bootcamp this Saturday and Crossfit next Saturday. So within a week and a half or so I should know whether I want to do boot camp or Crossfit or re-up for more personal training sessions at 24 Hour Fitness. (Right now I am very beguiled by boot camp because it's right down the street from my house and is less than half the cost of what I've been paying for personal training.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-287373 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:11:15 +0000 Kim 287373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our only Crossfit gym has closed here too. I'm thinking it's based on High Intensity Interval Training method, and I do some of that already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-287370 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:08:18 +0000 MsMary 287370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just coming in to say that I am heartbroken beyond belief because I was planning to check out Crossfit this Saturday and our local Crossfit gym is CLOSED this Saturday! Boo-hoo!</p> <p>So I'll be checking out a local "indoor bootcamp" instead... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-287358 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 17:55:02 +0000 kellygirl 287358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm agreeing with Kate, it is pretty pricey around here too. A year of classes is $1,400 not including the membership/training fee. Ouch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-287116 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 05:59:27 +0000 Kate 287116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bumping. I know Sarah's not the only crossfitter around here, so hopefully they can all enlighten us! I actually spent some time yesterday looking up local crossfit gyms, and they look awesome but pretty expensive for our very modest income... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-286688 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 22:14:57 +0000 Isis 286688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, while you are at it, I had another question. You mentioned that you do a 10 minute workout? I'm curious about how to fit in a workout in only 10 minutes! Thx! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-286686 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 22:11:39 +0000 chewyspaghetti 286686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know anything about crossfit, so I'll leave that to Sarah. I do know that according to a friend who is on it- the Paleo Diet that you're referring to excludes all grains/beans/legumes, tofu/seitan products, and dairy. It's basically meats, eggs, nuts and seasonal veggies/fruit. I think it would be very difficult for a vegetarian to follow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-286674 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 21:56:23 +0000 Mellllls 286674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to hear this answer to this as well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-sarah-about-crossfit#post-286603 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 20:32:42 +0000 Steph 286603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I saw your mention of Crossfit in the thread about gym alternatives, and I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I have been interested in Crossfit for awhile now, but whenever I read anything about it I read that in addition to the exercising, adherents follow an "eat like a Caveman" mentality with a focus on lots of veggies and lean proteins. I don't have a problem with that at all, but from everything I read it does seem that eating like a caveman also includes eating meat. I'm a vegetarian and am not going to change that--would I be able to follow a Crossfit regimen or would being a vegetarian make it too difficult for me? Thanks! </p>
