I've known a few athletes over the years, a few have competed at national or international level in their sports and one thing I've learned is that, whatever their initial reasons for getting into it, they stay with their chosen sport for the love of it. Simply put, they must be nuts about it in order to put in the time required to excel at it. This goes for any discipline, sport, career etc. Speaking as someone who only does crossfit, as in, I don't use it to improve on another sport, I would now stay with crossfit for the enjoyment rather than the benefits as its the enjoyment that keeps me coming back.

If men were still cool enough to wear hats , then I would tip my hat to you sir. Will = legend! :) Will I gotta tell ya, what you just wrote above is one of the best things I’ve ever read on the crossfit boards, I think it also is one of the best responses to Why Exercise? ever.

As a guy who used to get sweaty and short of breath walking up a flight of stairs, it's just plain fun to routinely subject yourself to feats of metabolic torment that once upon a time would have killed you. Instantly. There comes a time in the life of every car where you have to find a stretch of straight road, put your foot down and find out exactly what it can do. That's kinda like what I'm up to.

I play rugby for enjoyment, crossfit helps me enjoy it more because i can contribute for longer therefore i crossfit. If i didnt play rugby would i crossfit (hey, if google can be a verb so can crossfit)? Truthfully, I would say probably not. But i do both, so it's a moot point anyway. Does anyone else crossfit for sport, or do you do it for health/vanity/masochistic reasons bang on ed.

The aliens are quaking in their boots as we speak. Would I do this stuff without the benefits? does that mean that all my times would stay the same? maybe. Wouldn't enjoy it half as much though. The very nature of this stuff means that if that were the case, nobody could ever improve physically by doing any exercise. Ever. Apart from curls. I guess that's kind of analagous to someone who plays soccer or bugry for just the sheer fun of it without caring about the fact that they will become as fit as a shrink-wrapped thong in the process.

I figured I could just say something nice. A little too out of character for me? Colm O'K, I guess Kyle is asking - do you enjoy the process of CrossFit, as well as the benefits? My answer: Yes, yes I do. Big Shane,
