Check out the video posted above.  It reinforces crossfit's main tenants of- short and intense workouts.  Also, note the importance of recovery.

With regards to recovery, this is just as important as the workouts performed in the gym.  I have had several people ask me, "How many days a week should I train?"  This will vary based on the individual (depending on whether you are playing a sport, new to crossfit, your body's response to workouts, schedule demands...).  I will be posting more information elaborating on this topic, but just a quick few thoughts...The main site suggests 3 days on 1 day off; another option is 2 days on 1 day off, or 5 days on 1 day off.  I personally find that it is tough doing more than 3 days on.  Listen to your body...less may sometimes be better in some instances compared to more. 

Take advantage of our yoga classes in the adjacent building!  Check out www.balancegym.com for the schedule.
