[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't do cross-fit, but I do heavy weights and o-lifting. I am actually leaner than I was when I was just doing cardio. In the last 6 months, I've lost inches from my thighs and hips, and my butt looks amazing. (Also,  I'm stronger and more flexible!  I have more energy!)  I'm like you: I build muscle easily,  but I haven't bulked up at all.[/quote]

This has been the biggest change for me too.  I have always been a die-hard cardio addict.  I get the endorphins and incredible feeling from running/spinning.  My DH has always been a big-time weight lifter.  He was always on me to do more lifting...it was always tacked on the ends of my runs as an after-thought.

I do agree that this year is one of my fittest in a long time (since pre-kids in my early 30s)!  I'm 44.  I now am only running 2 days a week for 45 minutes.  I used to run 5-6 days a week---40-50 miles per week.  I am in so much better overall shape by cross-training. The UXF classes with focus on core have transfomred my body.  I am getting comments from neighbors and friends almost weekly.  I have been converted.  I am running today--but it will be my first run of the week.  [/quote]

Mind if I ask which WSC you're doing the UXF classes at?  I was doing them at the silver spring club but quit when they raised the price a few years ago. They had originally said they were going to keep classes down to like 5 people, but the class I was in had at least 10-12, and for that price I wasn't getting the attention I felt was warranted for the money. I did really love the workouts though.  I ask, b/c we moved to rockville last year and if the UXF classes at the north bethesda gym are better, I would look into it. [/quote]
