More Crossfit Controversy! Is it Safe for Kids?? Safe for Pregnant Women??

One more day of Crossfit Discussions in the News!!!  

FOX NEWS:  (watch here) 
an interesting short segment on the pros of crossfit for children. It also discusses the recent stories on rhabdo and whether pregnant women should participate in a crossfit workout.

And this ARTICLE, (with an attention grabbing headline!)
"Would you send your three-year-old to CrossFit? Extreme workout regime becomes available to toddlers at New York gym"

The first sentence of the article:

"CrossFit is one of the most extreme and grueling workouts around, and now it is being offered to children as young as three."

***It has caught your attention, right?  I guess that is what writers are trying to do, capture an audience, but in actuality the article ends up being in favor of Crossfit for kids.

The final sentence of the article:,,,,,,,"Dr Jordan Metzl, a sports medicine physician at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, told NPR that it makes young peoples' muscles a 'a lot stronger, and it is very helpful for them."
