The two Crossfit rules of perseverance:

Rule #1. Take one more step.

Rule #2. When you think you can't take one more step, refer to Rule #1.

Unfit or Crossfit, It's up to you!

Rest day

In a recent New York Times piece by Stephanie Cooperman entitled “Getting Fit, Even if It Kills You”, CrossFit is clearly portrayed as dangerous.

Is this depiction based on the author’s innumeracy, the effete politics of the Times, or is it a fair judgment?
