The question: I am hearing so much about CrossFit. It seems to be all the rage among my friends. Should I try it?

The answer: I enjoy the challenge of a CrossFit workout. CrossFit gyms are usually in warehouse-like facilities that contain virtually no traditional machines. Instead they are filled with equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and medicine balls. CrossFit prioritizes multijoint exercises like squats, dead-lifts, bench-presses and pull-ups.
