I also box on the weekends, and while that, too, is a great workout (as mentioned in the Primal Blueprint!), Crossfit is more varied, and pushes the body further than boxing (as most boxing gyms eschew weight training), and you typically wrap up the exercises in less than 25 minutes (vs an hour at a boxing gym). While doing Crossfit, my boxing performance has increased tremendously. I no longer "gas out" in the 4th or 5th round, and my power has improved (again, due to the emphasis on using my core strength to deliver the punches). If you love "old school" playground-style workouts (flipping tires, pull ups, sprinting, sledge hammer strikes, etc...) that change every day, give Crossfit a try.

I have been on many sites with the same claim, it's old, been done before, and there is better. Not one time has anyone said I tried it 2 months and I think other programs are better. I reccommmend finding a CF facility and try it 2 months. The reason there is such a fuss about is obvious if you just try it. Not on your own! You must find a facility and do with a trainer in a group. Words can't describe the difference, if done correct you will not be doing any extra work. By the way great site, "Obsessed is what the lazy call the dedicated" I would like to say a little about those who seem to think crossfit is no big deal.
