High intensity is often misunderstood and is oversimplified in the definition of CrossFit. Intensity is not just how hard you go in workouts, it is the frequency with which you workout.

If you think about it with respect to the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum, fitness is a hedge against sickness. Therefore, too much intensity will actually prevent you from pushing to the side of fitness.

The same "constantly varied" you do in the gym should apply to outside of the gym. So get out of your affiliate, and learn and play new sports in addition to your CrossFit training.
