Hi girls. Pag bootcamp ba recommended rin mag-gloves? or no na kasi wala namang weights unlike pag WOD?

[kachich]

actually, i get more kalyo when doing pull ups/toes to bar/kettlebells as compared to lifting. all up to you

[beachgirl]

^^ if you want, just have your gloves handy sa bag in case kailanganin mo.

^ sis kachich mas nakakakalyo nga pag nakasabit sa bar no?

personally, i don't use gloves kasi nakaka-affect sa grip ko. mas gusto ko yung nararamdaman ko yung bar sa kamay ko. i did buy gymnastic grips but i don't feel comfortable using them pa. siguro kailangan pa ibreak-in.

[kachich]

^yup. pero ngayon mas malala kasi ang lamig, kahti lifting lang, kinakalyo na ako. I dont use gloves din, pag lang may sugat (i put on band aid, then gloves) para hindi naman ma-infect hehe

I also use gloves sa bootcamp. On top of the kalyo thing, ayoko lang madumihan kamay ko pag may mga push-ups and burpees. Please don't judge me. Haha.

^^ sis kachich ako pag may sugat i put band aid tapos tape. and usually pag medyo fresh pa yung sugat tapos may pullups i'll skip the wod muna.

^ sis Frozen Toes, no judgment haha

Nearly fainted on my first bootcamp as I had close to zero upper body and core strength but I survived :p I will definitely go back after a month or two of solid strength and endurance training. Working a full time job by the desk really takes its toll.

[beachgirl]

^ welcome to crossfit! where did you do the bootcamp? don't worry, after a couple of weeks you won't feel like fainting anymore.

[kachich]

@gumpaste no need to do your own strength and endurance training. You will be able to develop them in crossfit

[beachgirl]

^ true! crossfit is enough. so... are you signing up for the throwdown sis kachich?

[kachich]

hehe. Pass muna.

[gumpaste]

^ welcome to crossfit! where did you do the bootcamp? don't worry, after a couple of weeks you won't feel like fainting anymore.

I believe you but I believe it is more important to listen to what my body tells me and honoring my own pace I will be ready for CrossFit again in no time.

@beachgirl: I did the bootcamp in CFMNL Alabang 

[beachgirl]

^^ sis kachich, ako din. i'm retiring from joining throwdowns!

^ sis gumpaste, i hope you come back soon!

by backreading for 3pages (i know its not enough pero inactive nadin kasi ang thread)

is there anyone from insurrecto by now?? lumipat na kasi sa may timog lang so mas malapit na sya saken kesa sa Libis, been looking for a good exercise regime na hindi nakakasawa and i found this.

updates please.

[kachich]

^our previous coaches started insurrecto. you can contact them directly through their website sis.

Do a trial, then enroll just for a month then maybe you'll know if hindi siya nakakasawa. Depende kasi on how you'll do it eh. Ako na beburn out din at times doing crossfit but kasalanan ko din, I do it almost all throughout the week except sundays. I like the feeling after a workout

[beachgirl]

^^ schedule a trial with them sis glacy_rein, you might like it!

^ uy ingat sa injuries sis kachich. dami sa amin injured ngayon. nakaka burn out talaga if you go almost everyday. and rest is part of training kaya!

[glacy_rein]

^every other day siguro kasi din to db? i mean before kasi even sa gym they don't recommend na everyday.

anong usual outfit sis? grabe nakikita kong post na photos na malalaking barbel buhat ng babae! waaaa!

may deal din sa deal grocer 2,450/mo mas of 2 vouchers. sayang din!

[beachgirl]

^ pwede every other day pero eventually you'll want to go at least 4 times a week to get stronger.

usual workout clothes lang ang outfit sis. don't worry, makakabuhat ka din ng malalaking barbell

hi girls.. ano ba pinagkaiba ng crossfit sa circuit training?

[beachgirl]

^ from what i understand about circuit training (i've never tried it), they're almost the same except that with crossfit the workouts are scored in terms of time, rounds, or reps. also, the workouts are rarely repeated.
