I think this series from Horizon (BBC) is excellent in illustrating using one guy (Mosley) the state of research into different exercise modalities. However, they haven't been very clear in the editing or the way the scientists talked about the results. It sounded like Mosley is a...

If you decide to try crossfit, please go very slow and use much lighter weights than you think you can handle. Let your joints and spinal cord adjust to the new workouts for at least 6 months before upping your weights. You can take classes later. A friend of mine was doing this type of...
