I love crossfit. :wub:
I'm not extreme into it, and at the moment (for the foreseeable future), really can't afford the membership for a good box, so I've decided to just stick to the regular gym and continue to incorporate crossfit, in the ways I can, into my regular routine.
For now, I've largerly ignored cardio (I hate the scratchy feeling and taste of blood when running in cold dead dry winter) as I've been focusing entirely on this gym routine. I'll cut and bring back the WODs and whatnot after I finally add some muscle mass this first go around.
Some of us just catch that certain bug. I don't want to be a gym freak, totally crazy about everything and rippling with deep visible veins everywhere.. but it may happen. :\
It's especially happening now, I think that a larger percentage of our population is kicking it into gear with fitness after seeing what doing nothing really gets us. We've got generations now that have scene how costly laziness can be to our health and image, and they're prepared to defend the line and not let it happen.
That's all I'm really into all of this for: be healthy in as many ways possible, so that when/if I'm 80, I still have the physique and energy to hit the weights, go for a run, play with any grandkids and whoop them into shape, and just generally have the vigor to still enjoy life.
If I'm mopey and rotting from the inside at that age, I'll ragequit.
