I know it takes awhile for pictures to show up sometimes. When the attachment does show up, there are three pics, 2009, early 2013, and more recent. I gained more weight between the first...

Sounds good so far, glad you're here! As for exercise, I would really recommend on trying to get 5 hours of walking/playing per week, minimum. This was the thing that really got me more in shape...

Hey there glad to hear you enjoy it!

Not knowing your full fitness level, I would say that three days a week is enough for at least the first month or two. Gage how sore you are after the first...

Out of curiosity, the kettlebell swings don't hurt your back? I ask because I have lower back problems, occasionally severe, that got equally aggrivated squatting and kettlebelling, until I really...

I have done a version of the C25K program before and when it helped me for what purposes I needed it for at that time. I think it's a fine program and have seen a lot of people make some good...

Serenity,

I did Crossfit and walked my dog three times a week usually about three miles or so. I started Crossfit in February last year, did it really inconsistently, and ran my first TM in June...

Crossfit helped me acquire both the strength and the endurance for the Tough Mudder. I ran with members of my team who were endurance trainers, and strength, and both. I was among the most in shape...

Just like with any other paid membership where you have coaching, you will find out right away if your Crossfit gym is quality or not. Is there an urge during some WODs to do deadlifts at a faster...

Not at all, but this wasn't the thread for that. OP probably doesn't mind but if I'd posted that same initial question, where I clearly enjoyed a certain workout and was merely asking for opinions...

Hey PrimalMama, good to see you're still going strong; sounds like it's going well for you! Just wanted to drop in and make sure you hadn't dropped out there on the field in the heat yet. ;-) Hope...

If you are running (jogging) for twenty-thirty minutes without really being winded, and can carry on a convo, probably not too fast. If you have to breathe after every couple of words, fast. Fast...

Third this as well.

On a side note, I've been having to try REALLY hard to not jump in on this topic, because OP seems to enjoy Crossfit, as do I, and I was pretty pissed when this turned into a...

For shoes I prefer the New Balance Minimus 10: New Balance Minimus

I have a couple pairs of Vibrams but I don't particularly feel comfortable at Crossfit in them. I've seen others in the Minimus...

I've run two Tough Mudders now and can safely say that if I'd stuck to Primal Blueprint Fitness, I would have been able to do a smaller race, like Warrior Dash, with no problem. The main thing is to...

Hey this is pretty doable... thanks!

Hey does anyone up in the Northwest know where/what brand of adobo to use? I was looking at the marinade page Mark put up a couple years ago and one of them is just marinading the meat in adobo...

An hour ago at the market overheard a lady on her phone while I putting together a salad at the salad bar next to her: "Okay I'm getting that now... wait is couscous a pasta or a grain?" :)

Subscribe to the blog and get the primal books, especially primal blueprint fitness and the cook books. Primal 101 on the Start Here tab will tell you virtually everything you need to know about...

+1 for everyone saying they started at 2 or 3 times per week. That's what I did as well and I only added days when I stopped being sore more and more quickly (faster recovery). I try to get five...

I have had horizontal ridges before... but only when I broke bones in that particular digit. Has that happened to anyone? For instance, I broke my toe a couple years ago and had a horizontal ridge,...

Thruster - movement that will make you want to throw up. lol

AMRAP = As Many Reps/Rounds as Possible. For example, if you have a 15 minute AMRAP, you do as many reps or rounds of the exercise in 15 minutes and that is usually your "score".

SDHP = Sumo...

What should I expect?
Any tips or tricks or advice for a newbie?
What was your own experience as a newbie? (Esp. if you, like me, are going in not already in great shape)
What, if anything, can I...

I stick by my theory of swimming being a great idea and the weights/bodyweight as well... I think the key with weights or bodyweight is moving it up to a higher intensity. Maybe try a few tabata...

I think that depends on geography! I did drum corps in the Bay Area. Weather in the summer was plenty pleasant. ;-)
