The best I can do is the paratroop shuffle on the treadmill at Golds Gym. If I can get to 30 minutes I keep going until heart rate tops the safe range for old guy workouts..

Well even though I am totally against crossfit with the exception of some gyms that have licensed qualified trainers who have experience in either bodybuilding or power lifting and know the proper technique and are able to gauge form and speed at an appropriate weight and work in small controlled groups I'm all for. I think the majority of people that do crossfit is the same reason people do HIIT training classes or other forms of class setups because it offers a community that gives support and challenges you to compete against others. With Power lifting or Bodybuilding is primarily a independent accomplishment with the exception of have a workout buddy, but you are almost always motivating yourself through idea appeal that you want to be and fitness level, some people need that extra push and Crossfit I imagine offers that community where they hold each other accountable like a workout buddy with the exception that you know they are going to almost always be there because they are paying for it vs you pay for a gym membership and decide if you want to hit it today or take a week off

I see a lot of positives from CF now that I attended their Level 1 cert. At the HQ level, they have a lot of science and solid ideas. There is no such thing as bad workouts, but there sure is bad coaching. Lots of that going on these days...

I Crossfit five days a week.. Regular weight lifting can get boring but I do add that in once in a while. Crossfit is just exciting and makes you challenge yourself
