The answer is any workout that pushes your fitness level and you can commit to with regularity(important part) is best for you. It all depends on what workout environment motivates you to show up every day.
NovaBubba is a crossfitter. He can probably explain what it entails. From what I can tell, it involves lifting things at a high rate of speed with your heart rate elevated while people yell at you to go faster/lift more, then you go running.
What is the crossfit lifestyle? What percentage of crossfitters are also Paleo? What is the connection between the two?
The paleo diet, loosely speaking, is eating like a caveman. You eat meat and vegetables only. No grains, nothing processed. In extreme forms, people purchase special meats that have been raised a certain way and are much more fatty than the usual farmed meats.Ignorant, heard of it but don't know what it is; paleo is what exactly?
Bubba, want to get beers soon or are you not allowed to.
You have never heard of Crossfit? The thing that's in every town in America?I've never heard of it. From the sound of it seems like an activity strictly for the gays?
IMO, the attraction of crossfit is:
1) camaraderie
2) varied workouts
3) more minimalist approach (basic lifts, body weight movements, etc.)
I like the idea of mixing things up and also of not having to plan the activity. I am not so into the social aspect. I'm not a person who usually craves company. The deal breaker for me is 6 days a week. I don't have the time for that nor do I recover fast enough. I guess I'll stick to what I'm doing.
I don't understand why people need to be told what to do for their workouts. Take 10 seconds and go online to see some "difficult" crossfit-like exercises and do them. I feel like crossfit is for the guys who sucked at sports growing up and want to feel like they're in better shape than everyone who played actual sports. I'm sure most cross fitters can do more boxjump burpees than me, sounds like my nightmare.
7 days in a week
3 dedicated to lifting (2 back 1 chest or 1 back 2 chest -- every other week switch).
2 dedicated to cardio (Run/Stairmaster above 120 steps/min)
1 dedicated to core exercises (planks, sit ups, leg lifts, back stretches -- maybe throw in Bikram hot yoga starting in December once it's cold again)
1 dedicated to executive workout (steam/sauna)

Lastly - where's your leg day bro?
Agreed. Ever since I started to actually work out my legs for real my runs have been so much better. I can't stress enough how important leg day is. It is my favorite day in the gym.Huge mistake. Working legs helps every muscle in your body.

There are a lot of bottom heavy ones though. Like softball type girls.More importantly, crossfit chicks tend to be pretty hot, have great butts, and wear little clothing.
