Does anyone do any crossfit training? I was looking into this style of training and was wondering of anyone on here has tried it.

What is crossfit training?

If this is reference to exercise, I recommend distance running - best exercise ever. Of course, you'd need to mix in crunches and push-ups before and after running to balance things out. I'm still in decent shape after dropping it several years ago.

i don't exactly do it but i go to the Y and know people who do. it involves doing cardio like running, biking, Zumba,etc with core exercises like pilatte's, weights and other strength exercises. personally, i do Zumba(a fast latin dance program like jazzercise) Tai Chi, brisk walking and some weight training. I tried pilatte's which sounds kind of wimpy, but it and yoga are really good for core body work. my shoulders are all screwed up from 35 years of being thrown thousands of times in Judo, but i can still do some weights. i'm 70 and weigh what i weighed in high school when i did 1000 sit ups in one sitting. my BP is 115/65

@Scarlet... I have too much body mass to long distance run although I am envious of those that can. Crossfit is a strength and conditioning system that emphasizes the natural movement and use of the body. I'm new to it and it is intense.
@Parsifal..Your 70?! Wow, I had no idea an aged person played simcountry. Kudos.

Zumba does sound like fun. I would like to get my latin dance on...with a nice latina! Im going to look into it.
