Crossfit is not only the sport of jocks and gym rats anymore. With its high-intensity workout that simultaneously targets every major muscle group without isolating anyone, it’s now a popular fitness regimen for people of all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages. And as more women are developing an interest in endurance sports and fitness with weightlifting, Crossfit has become a favorite way to stay tuned and have fun.
