I tried every other method of working out, from lifting weights to running teams to doing boot camps and this is by far the best workout.\r
\r
It's boot camp on steroids. You're doing pushups, pullups, handstands, shoulder pushups, kettlebell swings, box jumps, overhead presses, often in circuits. \r
\r
In the one hour it takes to do their instructor-led workouts, I'm in better shape than hours as a gym bum.\r
\r
The best thing about this workout is that you don't have to think. The workout of the day is different every day. Sometimes it stresses speed, sometimes maximum weight. Sometimes you run, other times you're throwing a medicine ball.\r
\r
For all the talk about building your ""core,"" nothing compares with Crossfit's approach. It's anything from throwing a medicine ball in the air to doing olympic deadlifts and jumping on gymnastic rings and doing an L, all part of what Crossfit does.\r
\r
My energy has doubled since I starting doing this workout. My posture's better. I sleep better. These guys are the real deal.
Pros: Best instructor-led 1 hour workout ever
Cons: No wallflowers. You work hard for an hour and get in amazing shape.
