Crossfit is definatlly a killer work out . I just wish I did it when I was 20 insted of 40. My Daughter has become a bit addicted to it . That looks fun but I'm just a bit beond my prime lol.

Unless you are a treestand hunter you have to get in some kind of shape to have a decent shot of killing an elk.  I train pretty good during the summer climbing stairs mostly, and long walks.  I dont do much of the weights just to tone a little.

My kids are in sportfit.    They are tone, athletic machines.   I ran into a guy yesterday who asked if I was going to do it.  "I told him I spend all day in a hospital, if you think I want to go back there this afternoon your nutz."

There's a reason the army makes you wear a helmet clockum, and it ain't got nothing to do with flying a helicopter.  :chuckle:

I'm in. Was going to enter the 46 Rail Mile Mountain Bowathalon if they have it this year, but this looks even better.

Does anybody on here subscribe to their website?  I've been looking into Crossfit/Insanity/P-90X type workouts and this looks like you might get a lot more for your money.

I use the Insanity work out all the time.  When i began in August last summer i weighed 245lbs.  At the end of the 63 day workout i droped down to 197.  I played sports my entire life and this IS physically the hardest thing i have ever done, hands down.  That being said i feel awesome now and have reeped the rewards of being chisled from the wife... :chuckle:

Sounds like a ton of fun although this year is not my year to do it.  I'm trying to nurse back to health from seperating a rib from my sternum.  Makes shooting my bow uncomfortable.

I've been doing the P90X work outs for about two months, not to lose weight but to gain strength.  Definitely kicking my ass, but I'm getting stronger for sure.

i did insanity a few months back and dropped 25 pounds and toned up a bunch after only doing 3/4th of the program... unfortunality i kinda slacked off stopped towards the end as i had a lot going on, but im thinking about starting up again, its just getting over the first 3-4 days thats the real tough part. if you physically able to do it i would recommend it.
