I was wondering how they are different from a regular gym?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721618593816063122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147094783902832301.post-23878168024265339632014-04-03T08:45:39.054-06:002014-04-03T08:45:39.054-06:00Great points!

Since I'm no where near healthy right now, I'm finding my community right here, in the blogging community. It's my connection with the outside world since I'm not allowed out there right now with my compromised immune system. The best work-out community was my cross-country team in high school. It was eye-opening to me the support and genuine concern for others goals and progress, and everyone was included, not just our star performers. I tried to recreate that when I coached track.<br />Tina @ <a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life is Good</a><br />A to Z Team @ <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com" rel="nofollow">Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2014</a>Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147094783902832301.post-19396653795700864512014-04-03T08:31:52.795-06:002014-04-03T08:31:52.795-06:00Rowing is so much fun.

Love the motion and being out on the water. :)<br /><br />As far as the bad rap, it's mostly due to people really pushing themselves to much and getting injured or very ill in the process. I think a good coaching staff will slow you down, but people can actually end up with rhabdomyolysis from working out too hard. And injuries happen if you try to be all superman and don't ease into things. Again, this is where coaches should intervene.<br /><br />Oh, man, does my hubby ever lose quickly too! He is actually underweight, so I have to watch how my eating (and grocery purchasing) affects him. It's unlovely. <br /><br />You'll have to post about your rebounding experiences... I've read about that! <br />Julie Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747209620047387411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147094783902832301.post-71803927854586812802014-04-03T06:06:22.377-06:002014-04-03T06:06:22.377-06:00Why is cross fit getting a bad rap?

I have enjoyed cross fit (done on my own though- not at a gym) but I have to be SO careful about the way I exercise and the kind I do with my Hashi's/Adrenal issue. It is so frustrating because a few years ago I got into running (not fast, mind you) but doing longer than a 5k often does more damage to me than good. <br /><br />I am SO with you on the hubby as accountability thing. Not a good idea. We tried that too - not a good thing. It is even a little hard when we BOTH go on some sort of better eating plan, etc. because he can drop weight so fast.....and then there's me. Bleh.<br /><br />I am getting ready to get one of those rebounder mini-trampolines and start a regimen using that. Supposedly the bouncing is good for the lymphatic system and great for folks with various health conditions that prohibit high intensity workouts.<br /><br />Rowing!!! I have always wanted to do that!!! CLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207164054349835246noreply@blogger.com
