CROSSFIT -- Yes, I said it.

Say, CrossFit has really become something. Honestly, it's phenomenal how big it is, but it's not new. There's been circuit training like this for years.

 In my opinion, it's up at the top of my list of ways to work out your body and stay in tip top shape. The workouts train you aerobically and anaerobically in a shorter amount of time, rather than spending 45 minutes on a treadmill (which is not a bad thing!).

Now, I haven't been to a CrossFit, gym? Or is it a workout center? But hopefully one day I will. But there are many things you CAN do at home to get yourself ready and feeling confident.

 FitSugar.com has a plethora of 10-minute workouts (including CrossFit) you can follow, 30 to 40 minute workouts, Yoga stretches, sample Tabata workouts, at home Pilates and Barre routines and more. Granted not all the workouts you'll find are CrossFit, but they'll help you get in better shape, regain confidence and guarantee learn a lot about your own body.

Not only will you find out about your lung capacity, but which side of your body is more coordinated and stronger. Don't forget to keep your diet clean. Limit (cut out if possible) sugar, wheats (I'll touch up on this down the road), but if you're curious check out "Wheat Belly", by William Davis, MD.

All-in-all, the body can do amazing things. It will take some time to get in the shape you dream about and some practice to do handstand push-ups, but what's stopping you? Yourself? Think about it. Dream big, aim high, reach for the stars, whatever the cliche is, do it. Keep pushing yourself, but have fun!
