Werd, no hatorade here. My goal in working out is twofold: 1) to look sexy for phat, 2)to be in halfway decent shape. I accomplish #1 by doing the traditional weight routines... I've got a pretty decent figure just from doing this (and even half-assing it most days). I accomplish #2 by running, hiking & snowboarding. I'm sure crossfit would get both done in one fell swoop, but I don't like working so hard I feel like I'm going to barf. I also know that there are some days I have to take it easy due to a sore shoulder or neck. That, and I'm cheap. Like I've said before, every workout has it's merits, and if you stick with it, you will do good things.
