Spring is coming. So now’s the time that many people start looking at exercise regimens again. I have discussed walking already — partly because it’s my favorite type of exercise! Over the next few weeks, I am going to post several brief posts about some other popular forms of exercise. First up: CrossFit CrossFit has exploded in popularity since the early 2010s. It strays from many of the typical strategies for fitness that you’d typically see in other workout varieties such as bodybuilding or strongman, and even hosts its own competitions to see who’s the best at the standard CrossFit exercises. While it’s typically taken in the form of classes…
