I CrossFit. No better workout to get in shape for hunting!
I'd agree Crossfit is a good workout cardiovascular wise. I've competed in their "games" and it's the typical go go go. If you're looking lose fat and get "cut" it's not the workout for you. I competed in college athletics and just like being in shape so I've done tons of different stuff and like DB said being in the gym longer than 45 mins is a waste...you're not working hard enough if you're there longer unless you're doing cardio with the lifting. Then I could see being in there longer. What are you looking to do physique wise?

Then I could see being in there longer. What are you looking to do physique wise?I respectfully disagree with some of what you said. Did you see the crossfit games on ESPN? Those dudes were "cut". I was 205 when I started and had about 16% body fat. I now weigh 200 and fluctuate between 8-10% body fat.Most of the workouts are short by workout standards.I would say on average 15-20 minutes and occasionally longer but not often. Crossfit is also rooted in traditional weight lifting. By traditional I mean Olympic. I don't think the motivation to workout should stem from appearance although most make it that. I also believe that is why most fail to stick with it. My only motivation to workout is performance driven. How much work can you get done in a given amount of time. How much meat can you pack for how long? How much ground can you cover in how much time? I don't want to have to consider whether I can get on a bull that just bugled because it sounds a long way away. The fact that I have a six pack and fill out a t-shirt is coincidental.
