Is Crossfit good for you?<\/h1>\n

You\u2019ve seen it, right?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s touted as the fastest way to get ripped and in shape\u2026 and this craze shows no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s this story you were never told?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s mostly about the extreme dangers associated with long term fatigue that can be caused by working out at VERY high intensity for too long.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where CrossFit\u2019s dirty little secret comes in\u2026<\/p>\n

\"theRhabdomyolysis.<\/h2>\n

Or \u201cRhabdo\u201d for short.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little known, yet extremely dangerous health condition.<\/p>\n

Basically, it happens when you\u2019re pushed too hard in a workout.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why it\u2019s dangerous:<\/p>\n

Rhabdo is the rapid destruction of your muscle fibers \u2013 to the point where your muscle protein myoglobin leaks into your urine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dead set.<\/p>\n

Clearly it\u2019s NO joke!<\/p>\n

In fact, the other day I was reading an article about a young girl who nearly died from Rhabdo after a CrossFit workout…<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what happened\u2026<\/p>\n

Angie (not her real name) was what most would consider a young healthy female. Despite doing plenty of HIIT training, running and being athletic most of her life\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026she suffered Rhabdo on her 4th day at CrossFit.<\/p>\n

After the workout, Angie felt like she\u2019d been hit by a truck.<\/p>\n

And that night on the drive home, she could barely lift her arms to hold the steering wheel at ten and two.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where things got scary\u2026<\/p>\n

The next day, Angie woke up with arms swollen like overfilled water balloons. And she couldn\u2019t bend or lift them at all.<\/p>\n

Her muscle soreness reached a whole new level of pain. (Classic Rhabdo symptom).<\/p>\n

Blood showed up in her urine.<\/p>\n

And she was rushed off to the ER.<\/p>\n

While in the ER, they tested her creatinine kinase (CPK) levels. Normal is about 100. Her CPK levels were more than 78,000!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turns out, she had a really serious case of Rhabdo and was lucky she went to the hospital before her kidneys failed\u2026<\/p>\n

She spent the next 5 days in hospital on an IV drip to flush the destroyed muscle fibers (CPK) out of her system.<\/p>\n

Not fun.<\/p>\n

Now listen.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not claiming CrossFit is the only factor that can cause Rhabdo.<\/strong> There\u2019s not enough scientific data to support this idea.<\/p>\n

Yet.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n

You just wait.<\/p>\n

My prediction?<\/p>\n

In a few years, the peer-reviewed scientific studies will be ripe with articles about the increase of Rhabdomyolysis, thanks to insane CrossFit workouts.<\/p>\n

In any case, here\u2019s the point:<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not in peak condition and dehydrated, please be extremely careful when exercising.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, Rhabdo is an extreme and rare condition.<\/p>\n

Be alert\u2026 but not alarmed.<\/p>\n

Crossfitters who are largely unaware of the Rhabdo risk will likely continue to charge ahead, pressured and happily coerced into exercising to exhaustion and depletion.<\/p>\n

If you listen to your body and stay hydrated, YOU have nothing to worry about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply follow a progressive and structured fat burning program like this:<\/p>\n

==> Grab the 10 Minute Afterburn Accelerators<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can get amazing fast results without killing yourself in the process.<\/p>\n

Train hard. And always stay safe!<\/p>\n

Your Coach and Friend,<\/p>\n
