Discuss... Thanks to Dr. Eva Selhub for breathing some fresh air into this old and tired argument against CrossFit. If all youre doing is ranting and complaining without presenting a better alternative - youre wasting everyones time by perpetuating misinformation and leading a charge in the wrong direction. So congrats to all the self-proclaimed experts out there for selling tickets to a sinking ship all in the name of self-promotion... Heres a gem from Dr. Selhubs article on The Huffington Post: Its really incredible to me. Really. Ive been practicing medicine for close to 20 years and none of us have figured out a way not only to get people motivated to exercise and get fit, but to stick to it. CrossFit is not the problem folks, obesity is. We have an epidemic of obesity that is not only propelling the rising costs of healthcare, but also morbid problems like metabolic syndrome, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in 2008 U.S. dollars. The medical costs for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight.
