The Phanatic is who Philly fans think they are.

Gritty is who we actually are.

Gritty creeps me out a lil not gonna lie

I'm a pens fan...

 

[DoctorWho-PE]

Hahahaha okay fair enough. I'm just tired and can't differentiate today. This is gonna be fun.

I can't differentiate any day.

 

[Lizmutt]

That's what I wish we had, honestly.

I am about to put in for telework every Friday on as well. My work place is dead on Friday. Not ready to switch to 4-10s

 

[squibbyfish]

apsm

 

[squibbyfish]

I'd love to work four 10's. I seem to work more like five 9's.

TAHP

we have flex options - 4 10s, (what i do - with fridays off, but sometimes i do a little from home to keep projects moving), 9 9s etc etc. people can choose their day off too. we have one of us who takes wednesdays off, and another who does mondays

 

[tj_PE]

also we're set up to be able to remote in from home, so we work from home if we need to, and nobody seems to abuse that! which is awesome

 

[ashmur90]

Officially jealous.

 

[JayKay PE]

Ugh.  I'm jealous.  My OM is very old-school, so working from home is pretty much unheard of.  Work usually 5-9s, but I get OT, so that's okay?

ALSO HIVE MIND OF SPAM THREAD: Kickboxing or crossfit?  Like, I know crossfit would get me in shape way faster, but some of the exercises...don't look like they're proper form/I don't want to hurt myself by going super fast, which seems like their deal?  As for kickboxing, I really liked it, but I want to find a gym that isn't filled with super-fit middle aged moms (which is some type of plague on LI).

It smells like hot dogs in my office, and now I want a hot dog.

Almost everyone I know who does crossfit gets injured multiple times a year. I don't recommend it. Never started it since I have bad shoulders, so bad form looks like disaster for me.

I am kickboxing all the way.  Like, kickboxing has changed my life.  My location does 3x kickboxing, 3x strength training each week.  I started in January, and went to almost every class, and followed a pretty strict food plan, watching macros, etc.  After 10 weeks, I had lost over 20 lbs, and lost almost 8% of my body fat.  I don't feel like I am going to die anymore-not because it is hard, but because I am in better shape, and I don't think I am going to have a heart attack.  I mean, I have a long way to go, and my results have tapered off as I am not as diligent with the food.  But I'm going to stick with my kickboxing.

I'm hearing a lot of anectdotal evidence that cross-fit causes damage in the long run. I'm not an expert so don't rely soley on my advice here. My workout regime is pretty oldschool - machine based cardio, combined with body weight, dumb-bell/bar-bell, and machine based resistance training.
