We do CrossFit. They post their WODs daily for free on their website, although we don't follow it that much. There are lots of CF affiliates all over the country. I don't belong to one because they usually charge $150 a month, but all the affiliates post their workouts on their blogs for free. We mostly get our workouts from a local affiliate's blog because he throws a lot of strength training in. Basically, it's a lot of body weight exercise with some OLY lifting thrown in. You get your strength and cardio all in one shot! You don't rest between rounds so it's very intense, but easily scalable and a lot can be done at home if you don't belong to a gym or can't get to one. I've been doing it since January and it's the only program I haven't been bored with because it's always different.
So, for my first week on OPT, I'm down 3.6 pounds! I'm happy, but not overly excited as I had gained a few pounds over Thanksgiving and had Aunt Flo visiting. Since I'm going to do the challenge, I'll post my stats then.
