First off mentioning P90X and CrossFit in the same breath is a direct insult to CrossFit. P90X is an absolute joke unless you are coming off of several years sitting on the couch. But it makes sense that these program will come under review by a bunch of medical folks that wouldn't know an effective exercise plan if it slapped them in the face, because God forbid you actually have your members working out with any kind of intensity. However, no one, particularly in the Air Force has any qualms about running people to death. Most of the medical community believes long, slow distance training (i.e running) to be the gold standard of fitness. By the way, most of the injuries which result in profiles and being seen by physical therapy in the Air Force are directly related to too much running. Rhabdo is rare and will most likely be seen in severely deconditioned people who try to do too much too soon. CrossFit is perfectly safe if done correctly while realizing your personal limits. You can still give max effort in your workouts without trying to kill yourself and everything is scaleable to your abilities.
