Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you've heard of Crossfit and the workouts their workout of the day approach to fitness. That said, there is a lot of controversy surrounding the "sport of crossfit" and whether or not it's a good way to workout.
In this video, I put together the pros and cons of crossfit training and wanted to leave it up to the viewer to decide whether it's right for them.
Among the PROS covered in this crossfit workout review are:
1. Challenge based workouts 2. Metabolic conditioning vs steady state cardio 3. Community aspect
Among the CONS in this "what is crossfit" video are:
1. The low barrier to entry for crossfit boxes and coaches who own them.
2. Exercises with high technical demand done to failure and beyond.
3. Crossfit workouts being more exercise than training.
After watching this video on what crossfit is and what the pros and cons of the workout are, hopefully you'll be able to decide for yourself whether it's right for you.
