Squats, power cleans, deadlifts, box jumps, jump rope, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, and a lot more.Define crossfit
All cardio based
That just sounds like exercise, in that case yes I exercise
Right, but add in a stopwatch to your routine and now you're doing cross-fit. At least that's how I see it.
Don't forget to add the experienced and knowledgeable coach.0 -

No - hence why I said "experienced and knowledgeable". Anyone signing up for crossfit (or for a trainer in general) should always do a little research the background of said coach or trainer anyways.0 -
SHOULD being the key word.
If a person is blind when it comes to fitness, anyone who says they know slightly more is a genius to them.0 -

high reps and the fact that for most of the workouts you are working out for timeit may be anecdotal but the injury rate does seem higher with crossfit. everyone who exercises gets a tweak here or there but it seems like those who crossfit suffer actual injuries more often. is it due to the high repetitions?
. this is my first week of "real" crossfit (ie not the on ramp classes) and and i can definitely see how people get injured in the weight exercises.
yeah you're using lower weights (i'm probably only lifting like 40% of my max weight) HOWEVER you're doing the reps quickly. since most of those type movements (ok all) require your core to be stabilized, i can't quite get how somehow can be breathing fast after a 400m sprint and still able to keep their core tight to do overhead squats afterwards?
oh and i thought our on ramp coaches were pretty good considering they only had 6 classes to teach 40+ movements. granted most of the people in my class were total newbs to lifting so there was a lot of sloppy form for deadlifts, squats, jerks and of course snatches. form was corrected as much as possible but we were only practicing moves 10-15 times before doing it in a timed workout. we had 2 injuries in the on ramp class (1 knee and 1 shoulder)0 -
people need to stop dissing crossfit. im guessing 99% of those that diss it haven't tried it...
it's an awesome way to exercise.
but really, im so sick of people dissing it because it's "not safe"
you could easily drop a dumbbell on your foot at the gym and break your foot... or better yet, you could get hit by a car ON THE WAY to the gym. life is dangerous.
give it a rest. crossfit rules.0 -
I agree Stephanie. My son does CrossFit and it has been absolutely great for him. He has never really stuck with any other kind of exercise program. I think it is the camaraderie that exists in the CrossFit gyms.
I think the best exercise program is the one you will do.0 -

...because these threads never disappoint.
ETA: I use the "higher injuries" excuse for not doing it...but even more than that is probably the cost. It fails my "I've owned cars that cost less than that" test. Perhaps when I feel like I need a community of like-minded individuals to further my progress towards my goals, I'll reconsider it. (In all seriousness, I've been a little lax in the exercise department lately, so maybe it's time to give it another look.)0 -
I love it and I'm gonna keep at it!!

Behave!
No, it's been filtered and distilled and some kind of oxygen has been added to enhance it.
