grunt/amie, I would tend to agree w/ the article sentiments.

Intervals, tabatas, etc all have their place in regards to training. But that alone is not a good plan. Any everyone should have a plan. It should be mixed in with your sports-specific training for sure.

The comment on form is also correct. Don't give up on form just to make a number. Granted that's a big knock on Crossfit but that's discussion for another thread. This is why I've become a big convert for having a coach/trainer. I've always thought it was luxury, not necessarily a need. A good one will correct your form continuously, making sure you don't progress to more advanced moves or heavier weights w/o it. Bad form will cause injury and slow improvement for sure.
