Crossfit Questions:
1) Gym isn't climate controlled, was 97 yesterday, is that safe for a 50 year old chunkster?
2) Is it normal to blast legs everyday? All I've ever heard is 48 hours rest, seems it's backsquats, wall balls, deadlifts, box jumps, thrusters, everyday.
I like the motivation during Crossfit but worry I'm going to jack up my joints.
My workout:
3 days a week alternating workouts MWF-ABA....following week BAB (off sat/sun - can do lite cardio if you like 45min-hr, max)
Exercise A:
3x5 Squats
3X5 BP
3X5 Pullups/Pull Downs
-Isolation of any body part til failure
Exercise B:
3x5 Squats
3x5 Overhead Press
3X5 DLs
-isolation of any body part til failure (can't be the same body part from previous workout)
This will build muscle, and get you leaner. This assumes you are using weights that challenge your rather than simply going through the motions. This is a full body workout consisting of mostly compound movements. You very well maybe whipped, at the end of the 3 exercises, and can't do the iso exercises (which is ok).
Note: depending on what you want to do, you will have to adjust your caloric intake accordingly. I also suggest using a pre-workout for newbs
And leave your ego at the door! I'm 57 and I workout with mostly 20-somethings and I have to remember I'm not young like that anymore. And I have to accept that some of those 20-somethings will kick my ass daily. And yes, they are girls.
