CrossFit can help you become in better shape, but only if you use the appropriate techniques, have the right attitude, and incorporate exercises that target your balance, core strength, and stability. It involves high intensity exercises that when poorly done can result to poor posture, muscle imbalances, and lower back pain.
As much as CrossFit is a great way of building strength and mental toughness, if your technique is sloppy, you may miss out on the benefits and it may lead to CrossFit lower back pain.
