THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO THE CROSSFIT 16 DAY BEGINNER PROGRAM.
I am 38 yrs old and in the last three years i have gone from 307 to 217 pounds with
a change in lifestyle. This is all through eating healthy and exercising on the regular no gimic or fast weight loss program. I found the website/ blog through a friend.
I started the 16 day workout on monday it is now 4 days later on my rest day. I can tell you this no trainer or workout program has made me so sore as this program has.
A+++++++++++++++++ Thanks alot i really enjoy it and hope to progress further.
Being overly sore is not one of my goals, so I think I’ll pass on the Crossfit workout.
And while clean eating and eating as close to nature as possible is a good thing, my ancestors have not been cavemen for a very long time. So I don’t think I’ll be going Paleo any time soon.
I have just finished day 3 of the 16 day workout and am happy to say that I am sore but not hurt. I am excited to have a workout that I’m not glued to the TV (I have many a DVD set of workouts that I’m just plain tired of) and I am glad to have something to look to to ease my way into a crossfit type of workout and am hoping to keep it going. I find eating the way that’s prescribed here my not be appealing with the “caveman” label, but I think it’s definitely beneficial and worth giving it a wholehearted try. Thanks for posting both the timeline and the 16 day workout! Here goes! :0)
Very interesting until I got to the last part. Some of the Paleo Lifestyle Choices aren’t very conducive for those of us with a job.
For those of you shying away from Paleo eating, I need to say that nothing is a final, written-in-stone blue print. I eat Paleo and have for the past 2 years. I work a 10 hour a day job and manage just fine. The sleeping and waking without an alarm didn’t fit my work needs so I just make sure I sleep between 8-9 hours a night. That is possible even if you work a job. You can adjust anything to meet your needs. Everything else is an excuse.
And for saying that our ancestors haven’t been cavemen for a long time, again being literal isn’t what this article was asking or promoting. Eating clean, especially Paleo, eliminates processed and hard-to-digest foods from your diet. If the “caveman” part was the only thing that turned you off from attempting to just eat healthier, than to me that is just another bad excuse.
I dropped 60lbs eating Paleo and have kept it off for the past 2 years. You need to adjust ANY workout program and diet to meet YOUR needs, but then again that requires you thinking that you have needs and that CHANGE is required to achieve them. Good luck
