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.
