So Dana has really wanted to find a good/hardcore workout program. I happen to think he's a total hottie as is, but he really wants something that will stretch him and get him in the lean shape he was in when he lived in SOCal. Seek and you shall find, he found a program called Crossfit and on Monday he will be starting the intense, boot-camp like workout. It is nothing like a gym membership. You won't find an elliptical machine, a treadmill or a swimming pool..oh no. They do it old school - free weights, bands, a pipe hung in a warehouse used for pull-ups, and a lot of space to run your butt off. 95% of the clients are male and they definitely kick each other's butt to get the beefy/lean/machismo/(enter word of choice here) look that the girls just eat up.
I have this image of guys yelling at each other - or trainers degrading their clients to make them look and feel weak or small. You know...run of the mill "bootcamp" stereotype right? Dana assures me that's not the case. They just 'encourage' each other to check their internal 'wuss' at the door, man up and get the job done. I guess guys work well that way.
I'm pretty content doing the water aerobics with people twice my age. You know, the folks that cheer when they've reached rep number ten.

John and I are members of Crossfit. The workouts are intense, but the instructors are all super nice and encouraging. You can scale yourself as needed. It is an awesome feeling to finish the WOD (workout of the day) when you thought there wasnt a chance in he!! lol. Good luck and have fun with it!
