^ i'm not sure what the trial WOD is now but if you're not sure yet if you can do box jumps, you can do step ups and use a shorter box (12").

[Frozen Toes]

^ That's good, pwede magmodify. What's your opinion on the criticism that CrossFit puts too much pressure/strain on the joints? I read may Foundations class naman where they teach newbies the basics such as the correct form and how to avoid injuries.

[beachgirl]

^ yes, the coaches will never force you to do something you don't feel comfortable with or can't do yet.

everyone who enrolls in CF is required to do foundations, where correct form and technique is taught. kung tama naman ang form and technique mo and you're using the correct weights for your level, you shouldn't have to worry about injuries. of course, as in any sport, people still get injured. pero sabi nga ng friend ko, kahit naglalakad ka lang pag natapilok ka pwede ka pa din ma-injure.

I know a coach from Crossfit Insurrecto and she is tough as nails pero marunong kunng hanggang saan ka ipupush. Has anyone gone to Crossfit Insurrecto?

[beachgirl]

^ i've never tried going to insurrecto but some of their coaches used to coach at crossfit mnl libis.

Finally did bootcamp last night and I am smitten as a kitten. My body failed me a few times and it was sore when I woke up this morning, but hell, it feels sooo good. It's the addictive kind of pain.

Made the mistake of wearing shorts though, so I have small bruises on my knees and elbows. I'm thinking maybe I should buy knee/elbow support to protect my joints next time.

I'll stay in bootcamp for one month then I'll go through Foundations in January.

It's too fun. I can't wait to go again tomorrow. Will do a little Ashtanga today to calm the muscles a bit.

[beachgirl]

^ that's great! bad news though, you'll always have bruises here and there. especially when you start doing regular WODs. have fun!

[kachich]

^sayang! sana you waited until december! libre if you have a member friend! Just Kidding So glad you enjoyed it!

Miss you sis beachgirl!

[Frozen Toes]

Since there's a Bring a Buddy promo, isasama ko female friend ko next week. Excited na sya. Haha.

Having second thoughts about going purely bootcamp. Parang I want to do WOD even if I'm new to CrossFit.

[beachgirl]

^^ sis kachich how's the makati box? sad that tanner's abs are leaving... haha!

[kachich]

^masaya din sa Makati Box! You should visit! Tanner left na He's one of the best coaches for me.

[beachgirl]

^ some of us are really planning to trespass sa makati box. maybe one saturday then kain daw sa salcedo. i'll let you know! sayang no more 3rd fittest man in asia.

[kachich]

^yes please! See you guys!

[Frozen Toes]

Signed up for WOD! Woohoo. Will attend Foundations tomorrow (if hindi macancel).

Sarap ng bootcamp kanina. CF is really making me very happy.

[beachgirl]

^ that's good to hear! i'm glad you're enjoying CF.

[Frozen Toes]

CrossFit. All I think about. All I talk about. All I care about. Found bruises on collarbone area after WOD one day and I felt so proud. Haha.

[kachich]

Hahaha! It can really get addicting! Buti nga ako nag tame na. I can skip some days na without feeling guilty na namiss ko ang wod (not because hindi ako naka exercise - but because sayang ang opportunity to get stronger)

[beachgirl]

battle scars yan. we call them barbell hickeys! when you start getting calluses you'll feel even prouder.

[Frozen Toes]

I have small ones on my palm, just below the fingers. Nakafingerless gloves na ko nyan ha. Haha.

[beachgirl]

^ ooh sometimes the gloves can cause calluses too, so you need good ones. or just accept that you'll get torn calluses from time to time.
