All around the world, a workout revolution is brewing.

Those involved could be anyone. They could be members of military units or tactical operations teams. They could be Gladys from accounts, and they could even be your mother-in-law.

Though it’s usually pretty easy to tell who’s been initiated into this strength and conditioning cult. They travel in packs, they speak in WOs, WODs and AMRAPs, and their muscles grow faster than their fingernails.

The secret to CrossFit’s appeal? Despite having the sweat-inducing intensity of Sichuan peppercorns dipped in wasabi, it’s a workout that’s suitable for everyone. That means you’ll be doing the same basic workout as a martial artist or cage fighter, minus a few barbells or reps.

It also keeps your body guessing – A typical WOD (that’s Workout of the Day, for the uninitiated) is only 30 minutes long, but might include a combination of power clean pull-ups, burpees, power snatches, deadlifts and push presses. Try zoning out to your iPod while doing that. 

A word of caution: These workouts are highly addictive. And, yes, burpees are just as tough as they were in high school.
