I like doing CrossFit as a means to being fit. Just this week I sat on the Assault Bike for 45 minutes, did 45 strict pull ups alongside some skipping and box jumps and did some heavy squat cleans. I like the variety and believe it’s important to growing old healthily.
But… in some ways it doesn’t scratch the itch. It’s just going to the gym really. Which is why I’m happy to that I’ve been bouldering regularly recently. This definitely scratches the itch. I like the challenge of it, the high of completing a route and it’s exercising still even if it doesn’t feel like it.
