I only do it twice a week and regular gym the other days. That's the best combination for me and my age. If if would have been around 25 years ago, I would have been really into it. The people that I know, that take it seriously do very well with it. One guy that I know is an big time ex NFL player, he doesn't compete, but loves it and said the same thing about it as I did. He's told me numerous times that he's in the best shape of his life and that's saying a lot!

You can also get in the best shape of your life with appropriate programming for lifting (strength progression) and a mix of cardio added in. All this without the limited progression of strength exercises and poor programming of Crossfit and decreased injury risk of doing high technique strength exercises like cleans and snatches for high reps. Seriously, that last sentence in and of itself makes Crossfit look reeruned.
