Anybody into this Crossfit training stuff?

Some of these workouts are pretty bad ass. I dig the cardio weight training thing.

I was looking into this a year or so ago but alas, i can barely walk down the stairs without being in agony.

And they expect to have functioning joints in 5 years?

Seriously, I want to see them getting up from a seated position or just getting themselves dressed 5 years from the time these ridiculous workout videos were made.

There is a way to cross-train and I can tell you.... that shit ain't it. Not if you want to be able to move around like a "normal" person a little ways down the line that is.

OH DANG!!! OK, now I'm watching the one with the chicks at the end. Wow, that's crazy stuff. I like the songs. What a trip. Now I wanna go to the gym but it's not open yet! LOL!

i have to agree with you. . .at 43, after years of contact sports, mogul bashing, skateboarding, motocross and heavy lifting (most of those things i don't even think about doing anymore), i get gimped-up just watching one of those videos. . .but i know people. . .quite a few actually. . .whose joints have allowed them to continue doing stuff that seems crazy to me, well into their 50's and 60's. . .to each his own. . .but that crossfit shit ain't for me. . .
