Vital Information Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Anyone tried the Crossfit workouts. Until I hurt my shoulder a few weeks ago, I was trying to work my way into this program. It's pretty interesting and intense; you never do arm curls again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banh cuon Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I read about Crossfit in the NYTimes recently, and was intrigued yet scared at the same time. Sounds a little too intense and Type-A for my tastes, and it seems that chances of injury are high. Yes, I'm a wimp! Much respect to those who are in the program though.

The NYTimes story was somewhat bizzare. How could they find the one guy... The beauty of the Crossfit method is that it is scalable to each person's level. It provides a framework and a system, but you are not expected to do the exact workouts as prescribed. Rather, you adapt to your level and work from there. For instance, I still cannot do a "real" push-up, so I work away on the assisted pull-up machine. It really is something cool to dip into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
