As someone who considers walking my dog a daily workout, take it from me that CrossFit is a great way to work out.
It’s a form of high-intensity interval training that’s made up of various strength and conditioning workouts.
In regular person wording: it’s a series of tough, guided exercises that go by way quicker than you’d expect.
