What made you decide to try CrossFit and Yoga?

My family and I moved to Morris in January of this year and I knew I needed something to get me out of my house as I was experiencing my very first Minnesota winter (burr).  I was drawn to ELC for the yoga and I planned to maybe throw in a couple of Crossfit classes each week.  What happened instead is I fell in love with Crossfit.  I now attend Crossfit classes 5 times a week and I love it!  I have always been a huge fan of yoga and I try to get classes in or home yoga as often as I can.
