Caveman training

[Bromhead]

I keep hearing about caveman training, I was hoping for input from anyone who does or has done it before.

There's a local place in stoke/newcastle that has classes which last 30 minutes per session, which doesn't sound like a long time, but I imagine it's pretty intensive.

My goals are very broad which is to lose weight, tone up and build that muscle.

Gym is the obvious option but I like the idea of trying something new, any feedback from someone who has done caveman before would be great.

It sounds (and reads) like Crossfit.

Assuming it is done by a coach with a brain (a very different concept to a "certified" one) then it will be no different to *good* Crossfit, circuits or boot-camp.

Try it and see how it goes... But as long as you:

- remember that losing weight is different to losing fat;
- muscle tone is actually not what you think it is...
- unless assisted, trimming fat and building muscle require different diets to support and do not happen at the same time;
- Caveman will be no different to just hitting the gym... Results will vary with each class... You won't get huge, you won't get strong, but you will get the lean look (assuming your diet is up to scratch).

The best workout regime is the one you stick to, so try it and I hope you enjoy it.
