Phew.<\/p>\n<p>I recently took a <a title=\"CrossFit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/crossfit\/\" target=\"_self\">CrossFit<\/a> class and was sore for a week. I normally do traditional cardiovascular training (jog 30 to 60 minutes) and standard weight training (45 of strength training) and consider myself a workout veteran, but CrossFit challenged me to almost failure (which is good because the gym is the only place where failure is encouraged).
