I've been following CrossFit

My buddy Mike introduced me to CrossFit about a year ago. It seemed interesting but I didn't give it much thought. But as I continue to talk to him about the workouts, read reviews and follow the infamous 'workout of the day' or WOD I am really thinking that this may be a great supplement to my triathlon training. CrossFit is getting a lot of attention in the triathlon community and testimonials are spuing forth about the virtues of this fitness program. In addition to the main site they have an affiliate site, CrossFit Endurance for triathletes which looks intriguing.

What I like about it:

-The workouts are short, just15-45 minutes each.

-The workouts create strong, dense muscles. Not bulky, weak ones.

-The workouts are always new, never repetitive.

-Did I mention they are short?

Make no mistake; just because they are short doesn't mean they give anything up on the 'kick your butt' meter. These little WODs look so freaking intense. I haven't even dared to attempt one yet. But I'm thinking this might be the next big thing...
