If you have a smart phone, check out the Nike Fitness Club app. My fiancée loves it.

I'll check it out, thanks!

I've noticed my outter thighs and hamstings are as good as can be expected and better than they've ever been (I'm old), but my inner thighs have almost no tone what so ever. I've only noticed this in the last three months or so. A big part of it is my age obviously, and I realize that. I'm not trying to have the thighs of a 20 or 30 year old. But the muscle structure surely could be better? Just not sure what to do.

Do you do any type of squats?

Try changing the width of your stance, by either bringing your feet closer in or spacing them further out. For some reason it is different for everyone, but eventually they seem to get results. Some people get results on their inner thighs by spacing their feet out further, and some by brining them closer together. I normally go shoulder width on my back squats, and then waist width on my front squats. Just play with it by using no weight to see which stance works best for you. Also more concentration and squeez action when doing leg extensions could help too.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. I've been doing it for so long it's just become routine, and I know I'm not putting everything in to it lately.

Tuesday's crossift workout: 100 double-under jump ropes, 90 russian twists (25 pound plate), 80 pushups, 70 full-extention situps, 60 alternating arm swings (60 pound kettle bell), 50 russian swings (60 pound kettle bell), 40 pullups, 30 GHD situps, 20 box jumps, 10 burpees.

Absolutely terrible. Still hurting. Crossfit seems to work muscles that have never been worked before by traditional power lifting.

Crossfitters don't know how to do real pullups

crossfit gifs are the best

kwebb, do you do the speed work on hypertrophy days? I've left them out the first two weeks and am thinking about adding them.
