My takeaway is that Cross Fit is an interesting and hard workout. The team aspect that I mentioned in my previous post is good/motivating and I can imagine that is gets better with more time. The exercises in the workouts tend to be bigger type of movements like dead-lifts, power-cleans and box-jumps and, while I plan on adding a few to my workout, they don't focus on individual muscles like gym machines tend to do. Also the big movements combined with running,jump roping and other cardio present a good possibility that someone can injure themselves. While this can happen when doing many exercises and increasing the weight, competing against other people and being cheered on can make for a dangerous environment.
The price of Cross Fit ranges from place to place. However, it does run on the high side for a month of workouts but the price includes instruction. At Cross Fit Lodo (Denver, CO), where I went, it cost $20 for a drop-in and $169 for unlimited classes each month. To compare it to my $30 gym membership at 24-Hour Fitness, it is hard for me to justify continuing with Cross Fit since I don't really need instruction. The classes are also at times that don't always work out for me. I have been noticing more people at my 24-Hour Fitness doing Cross Fit-type exercises lately and others will be seeing me do some as well. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have about Cross Fit that I did not cover.
November's hobby is going to be hunting. This will range from buying a gun, (hopefully) shooting a deer and/or an elk, cleaning and butchering, and cooking with it.
