With anything it boils down to what works for you. Crossfit works for me. I always thought you had to be in shape to do crossfit. That is incorrect. I am 5'2" and was 159lbs when I started. I used to be a thin and very active person, However, after having my daughter and a lot of bad habits, I became overweight. I finally had enough and tried Crossfit. I cannot do pull ups or certain other exercise, However, there are a lot of things I can do. There are modifications for everything. If you join a good gym with great coaches that know what they are doing, it is a great fitness program. It is not just a cardio program. If you work hard, you will get stronger and fitter. You have to know your limits and listen to your body. Injuries can and do occur with every sport, and every fitness program period. Most of the injuries associated with Crossfit are not because of a program or coach, it is because the 'athlete" does not listen or know their body. Every gym can have over crowding or lack of enough equipment. etc. Find what works for you. Try a few if need be to find what you like. Twice Bitten CrossFit is awesome. Since going consistently in the last month, I have lost 10 lbs and down a a dress size. I have became stronger and feel so much better. I have had to deal with modifications, injuries (not from Crossfit) and getting my mind set right. But have persevered through it and found that CrossFit works for me. Just because it may not work for you, does not make it a bad program. It works for thousands of people. One thing you have to remember also with CrossFit is check your ego at the door! If you cannot do that, than Crossfit is not for you!
