Crossfit and the possibility of injury
People are soooooo concerned with getting hurt doing crossfit, getting pushed too much and getting hurt. Listen up because I’m going to say this once, OF COURSE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF GETTING HURT. There is a possibility of getting hurt in every sport and pretty much anything you do in life.
