That’s when a friend suggested CrossFit. For those of you who are as clueless about the program as I was, it's a high-intensity routine that targets core strength and conditioning by utilizing weightlifting exercises, gymnastics movements and metabolic conditioning such as running, swimming, biking and rowing.
Sound tough? You better believe it. But with hard-bodied celebs like Jessica Biel, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Jason Statham and Channing Tatum reportedly doing it, I figured it was worth a try.
