... listening to an album described as a “s pace o pera”, and trying not to die to death from the pain caused by working out .

This is totally me working out... totally. (I’m the car.)

I have started doing CrossFit. I will not bore you with the details, but suffice to say I’m NotFit, or at the least, not very strong. M aybe in a few weeks I’ll be able to do a half-dozen pushups without crying about it afterwards.

For those interested in the music, it’s Ayreon’s Into the Electric Castle .

Drink lots of water and get some glucosamine. That should take care of the soreness after a week. However, the Crossfit gym next to my daughters’ gym is filled with people performing  incorrect and dangerous lifts who seem to have little experience lifting weights, so there’s always a chance you may have actually hurt yourself. To me, crossfit seems more tailored to people who already have a fairly high level of fitness (athletes), but it’s being marketed towards people looking to get into shape. Stay safe and good luck with your fitness goals.

The gym I went to seems pretty serious about doing things well; I met with the owner last week . They do crossfit as total fitness, not just for strength/bulk, and the focus seems to be on using all of your muscles effectively.

And since I’m a beginner, they’re spending a lot of time making sure my technique is safe and correct . Also, the weights are pretty light for the time being ... I did like 20 pushups today - on my knees, not from my feet - and I could barely finish. I’m just weak.

If I want to get all bulked up , they offer separate weight-lifting classes or private sessions.
