<p><strong>Step One:</strong></p>
<p>Use this <a href="http://www.dbhonline.com/zoneful/p_calculator.htm">*link*</a> to learn your allowed blocks.</p>
<p><strong>Step Two:</strong></p>
<p>Use this <a href="http://www.dbhonline.com/zoneful/b_snack.htm">basic baby meal plan</a> to start with by modifiy the numbers of blocks (servings) to match what you were told to have by the calculator. This gets you started with something easy and simple. &nbsp;You can move from here and read this articles and use these links.</p>

<p><strong>Step Three:&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Go get the food you need and plan each day the day before. &nbsp;Weigh yourself and see what happens. &nbsp;I would personally give your body at least 4 weeks to see what happens. &nbsp;Best of luck and post the results.</p>

<p>Mondays and Wednesday I have been running a class called Lifestyle Fit. &nbsp;A team training program that covers the basics of fitness. &nbsp;Wednesday I decided to test and score everyone's workout. &nbsp;The workout round consisted of 90 seconds on the rower, 90 seconds of push ups, 90 seconds of swing sit ups and 90 seconds of body squats.</p>
<p>The goal was simple. Obtain your PR and we would retest on Monday. &nbsp;You would receive a point for every rep or calorie done. &nbsp;After each complete round they had 90 seconds of rest. &nbsp;They were able to perform 4 rounds before we ran out of time. Here are the results.</p>

<p>So, today I became even more aware&nbsp;of how much I need to learn about the Crossfit workouts , the names (lots of them (the girls, the heros, and the others)), the standardized times and how hard some of them are! &nbsp;I looked them over and after sometime I picked Claudia. &nbsp;I did modify the run some doing the rower in place of the last two runs. Here are the details:</p>
<p>20 reps of Kettlebell Swings With 40 Pounds then a .25 Treadmill Sprint, repeat three times</p>
<p>Then 20 reps of Kettlebell Swings With 40 Pounds then a 500 Meter Row, repeat two times....then not to forsake my bodybuilding ways....I hit the arms....LOL</p>
