i've wanted to try crossfit but the group thing scares me off. also $. i like intensity in exercise but the culture around it not so much. same with yoga tbh.

I thought crosscut was over and people do p90x now, or is it vice versa?
― mh, Saturday, 4 February 2012 01:46 (twelve years ago) link
theyre both popular, v similar, crossfit is more community grassroots style px90 is all corporate and pro
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 February 2012 01:47 (twelve years ago) link
ive never done crossfit but the people seem v supportive and not that bad
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 February 2012 01:49 (twelve years ago) link
the only thing I know about crossfit is that one of my gf's grad school friends does it and she is in very good shape

the idea of working out w/other ppl is weirder than quantum jumping to me

p90x is like the do-it-at-home call-this-900-number version of crossfit. it's a "program", crossfit is a "brand" with gym affiliates and certified trainers.
― lil kink (Matt P), Saturday, 4 February 2012 01:52 (twelve years ago) link
i maybe give px90 the slight edge cause they employ the incredible phrase muscle confusion

just to be clear itt crossfit gets culty about eatin' paleo and whatnot but is not actually a cult.

i paid for a personal trainer for a few months and i felt as ashamed w/ myself for paying someone to make me exercise as i prob would attending a quantum jumping seminar, but damn it if i wasn't in better shape than i'd been in years :\
― ⚓ (gr8080), Saturday, 4 February 2012 02:05 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think there's anything weirder about having a personal trainer than having a shrink, nobody's got perfect inner drive for achieving their fitness goals or whatever and if paying someone to help you helps, why not

a personal trainer is good if you're willing/able to go at their pace -- if they're in tremendously great shape, they might forget that you need to go a little slower for a while. i saw a trainer berating a young woman on the treadmill, being all "go faster! faster!" and the woman was like "this is as fast as i go, dude." jillian michaels style trainers = DUD.

I was thinking my work fitness center had a p90x thing but maybe it is another organized class. Trx or something? Straps hanging from ceiling.
― mh, Saturday, 4 February 2012 02:40 (twelve years ago) link
p90x is basically a branded "circuit training" which lots of gyms offer

Yeah that's TRX. Great stuff imo. Almost no end to what you can do with those things.

she sounds like a undergraduate sophomore giving a mock-up "business pitch" in an introductory marketing class.

i mean it sounds like she read a marketing textbook the night before and basically repeated it verbatim, spending about 5 minutes brainstorming re. the actual "product" they are supposedly selling.
who is impressed with this stuff?
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 4 February 2012 04:38 (twelve years ago) link
giving her presentation barefoot was a nice touch though.

also how many times can you really take something "to the next level" before you run out of levels?

how earnestly everyone is listening to her on their bean bags laptops at the ready is kinda heartbreaking
