7 Crossfit-Inspired Workouts That'll Kick Your Butt

Even if you're not remotely interested in fitness, I'd find it hard to believe if you hadn't heard of Crossfit. Though not new by any means, this branded form of intense functional fitness workouts has skyrocketed in popularity over the past year or two. If you're into fitness, there's a good chance you've noticed boxes (the term for a gym in Crossfit lingo) opening near you, or your regular gym starting to offer Crossfit-inspired group fitness classes so they don't lose you to that new local box. If you're not into fitness, you've probably unwillingly been subject to a friend or acquaintances' social media updates on how much they lifted,or how fast they did a workout, or at least seen a bunch of crazy abbreviations that don't make any sense until you've been a crash course in Crossfit talk. Regardless of any of the above, Crossfit is an "in" thing, so get used to hearing about it, wanting to try it, or already doing it. Whether you're into the craze or not, there's no denying that this style of fitness offers some serious butt-kicking workouts that will make you wonder what the hell you were thinking while you're in the middle of it, and then when it's over, wanting to do nothing more than do it again the next day. - By Heather Neal
