Do you feel guilty for not giving the fitness trend CrossFit a try? Well, this video might make you glad you’ve stayed away.
The YouTube channel FailArmy has compiled several cringeworthy moments of people unsuccessfully attempting CrossFit exercises. Called “Ultimate Crossfit Fails,” the compilation features fitness fanatics that lift weights that are too heavy, drop medicine balls on their heads, jump up only to fall right back down, and perform elaborate tricks on chin-up bars until they break. A strong, screaming woman hoisting heavyweights also makes an odd appearance.
The video already has 4.5 million views since being published on May 27. “Using crossfit to work on your summer bod?” reads the caption. “Hopefully you’re having better luck than everyone in this hilarious crossfit fails compilation!”
The CrossFit-obsessed take on ultra intense workouts that only Olympians and powerlifters have been brave enough to try in the past. Despite its sometimes risky exercises, the fitness regime has gained traction all over the globe. The program offers training seminars and has been adopted by thousands of gyms worldwide.
