If it’s a GOOD CrossFit with the attributes we talked about above, it might be worth a go. Discuss your other training modes with the owner/head coach and see what kind of response/advice you get.

Let us know!

I go to Judo Mon/Wed and its a pretty intense 45 min. to 1 hr workout with 45 sec breaks, max before actual technique begins. There’s one CrossFit gym in my town. Its 50 bucks a month for 2 days a week. Would that be good to replace my regular workout routine that I do outside of Judo? My only options are Mon/Wed/Fri at 6am due to my work schedule so one day I would have CrossFit in the morning followed by Judo in the evening. Would this be overkill?

@Sara: your crossfit coach can give you some movements to do on alt days when you can’t drive in to the box. Or you can look at the website or the CF Mainsite and construct your own garage workout. Keep moving!

3 on, 1 off is definitely one way to go. Some people will over train on that kind of schedule though if they go 100% at each workout.

If you can only do two days a week – hopefully not in a row – you can go hard those two days without as much risk of over training.

There are plenty of ways to schedule your workouts and a lot depends on what your body can take (as Karen said) and on your overall stress level as well…

Hi-
At our box, Crossfit New England, it is suggested that we do 3 days on, 1 day off. But, each person is different so it is really important to listen to your body :). Hope this helps.

Quick question – how many days a week should you do crossfit? Is two sufficient? I have a very athletic background, now have two small kids, work full time, and just got in a rut. So I am now working with a trainer and we do crossfit like workouts. I don’t live conveniently close enough to a crossfit facility in my area. And just discovered your site – really like it!
