Crossfit

Anyone find a good exercise entry substitute for Crossfit? Incorporating metabolic conditioning through a combination of cardiovascular and strength exercises (think box jumps, deadlifts, handstand pushups, etc.) really doesn't fall into the running or bicep curl categories.

one metcon i'm working on for me involves 5 rounds of
- 5 turkish Get ups (5 each side) with an 18# kettlebell
- 5 burpees (the ones where you do the pushups)
- 30 second plank

i'm not sure i like it though, i might replace the plank with something else but i'm not sure

I go to a Crossfit box so putting together workouts isn't a problem. But, on MFP when you enter in your exercise for the day, there isn't a burpees option, ya know? I suppose circuit training would provide the closest resemblance to calories burned from Crossfit...

i'd log it under cardio circuit training or strength training
