There may be a lot of reasons why others do not get into CrossFit but lack of time shouldn’t be one of them. A friend of mine liked the idea but told me he’d never find enough time to do this sport. I remember when I was running races I had to train 40-60 miles a week and that was a minimum 8-10 hours a week. I looked back at my Crossfit logbook to figure out the time spent on workouts to find out how time consuming Crossfit really is. Of the 91 workouts in my last logbook (not counting warmup or skill sessions):
– 60% of the WODs took less then 15 minutes
– 10% took 5 minutes or less !
– only 8% took more than half an hour
15 minutes for world class fitness – I think it’s a fair trade. Today was a good example of a quick WOD. I could complete the Mainsite workout in my basement under 20 minutes including warmup and I certainly didn’t feel shortchanged…
WOD
7 rounds for time:
– 7 deadlifts – 225lbs
