That is real good. CF has a lot of leg/core/complete body movements. There is no wasted motion and you won't see any bicep curls.
With me, I was and still am pretty weak compared to most others, so I added a strength program to help me with the Olympic lifts. My cardio was already great, so I can sacrifice some cardio until my strength improves.

This is an excellent attitude and approach to fitness in general. If your focus is on performance and appearance is secondary you'll be much happier with your results, especially being an athlete who relies on your body at work. Vanity shouldn't be a measure of fitness, and thankfully it isn't in the CrossFit culture.
Paulo,
Have you taken any certs. yet?Last edited by Uglyduck; 9 June 2011 at 14:15.

Just a quick update...I have lost 25 lbs since starting CrossFit and Paleo right after Easter. I have never felt better and I will not stop. I have more energy and strength than I have had for years.

Just an update to this old thread. We got a new Chief in November and boy, has he changed some things. We recently spent a ton of money re-vamping our gym at Police HQ (PBA Money). We are now allowed to workout on-duty for an hour, and somehow, I got roped into being the main PT instructor, so I had to put together a program. We will also be putting together a PT test, but we still have to come up with one. I have some ideas, but we are deciding if we want to include shooting with it or not.
I'm also going to be going to the CrossFit Level 1 Cert in August (with my own money, unfortunately), and we'll be able to become a non-profit affiliate. I already do the programming for my PD and several guys are already jumping on board and following the programming. The best part is that pretty much everyone is on-board with everything that is happening.

Glad to hear it Paulo! Having support makes a lot of difference. Where are you taking your level 1? Our lead instructor got an invite to be an HQ apprentice instructor, I'll see if he'll be at your class. HQ "should" help you out on cost since it'll be for a dept. affiliate, if you get hung up on it let me know and I'll get some more details.
BTW...I think you should use "Murph" for your PT test :)-Mitch-
