Workouts

[David88vert]

Don't bother with a cross fit gym...they are expensive and you can do anything they do there in your own local gym. That said this the workout is great, but diet is what you need mostly to lose that kind of weight. Follow this link and follow the program EXACTLY and you will lose that weight and more. I lost 18lbs is 7 weeks and my strength increased enormously. I'd be glad to tell you more if you care, just let me know. I can assure you though that if you don't follow the diet, you will NOT lose that kind of weight. Overall its a good program though and there is a forum associated with it for motivation and help along the way. Daily videos if you are new to working out. Its pretty comprehensive. The only thing you can kind of pick and choose on is the supplements. Just make sure to have a good multivitamin, protein, bcaa's, and glutamine. I would suggest a pre workout to give you a little extra energy for the workouts because your body is going to beat after the first week. I used creatine also, but again thats personal preference. Most of the other stuff he suggests really didn't do much for me and is probably more of a waste of money than its worth. Good luck and let me know if you need any more info or have any questions about the program.

The OP never said anything about needing low cost. Bottom line - CrossFit gets results, and in the direction that he needs - to join the military. Sure, you can do it all on your own, but don't you think that he would have laready done that, and would be already eating correctly and working out correctly if he knew what he needed to do? With this short period of time, he doesn't have a lot of time to do research and find out what he needs to do - he needs guidance and to be up and running immediately on getting as close to his goal as possible. That need for quick results is going to take an investment - either time or money.

Crossfit DOES get results...no doubt. Not every cross fit gym has a nutrition plan to go with it though and the diet is going to just as important as the workout to lose that kind of weight that fast. The program I pasted is pretty comprehensive....it give a strict diet, a workout plan 5days a week, provides a video for EVERY day incase you don't know how to do certain exercises, and what supplements to take(even though I don't really agree with all of them). It essentially does exactly what you said...gets you up and running, no research involved. Its all done for you....and quite frankly it works. To be fair, if you go on the site there is also a cross fit version on this with diet plan and everything too. Either one would work...so would the cross fit I would imagine if they give him a good diet to follow.
