The World of CrossFit is a short, informational overview for young readers about a subject I’m currently very interested in.
However, I personally didn’t love the magazine writing style. Also, the quality of some of the photos is not the best. For instance, there HAS to be a way to get rid of red eyes before using a photograph for a publication, lol!
I loved the glossary of exercises though. Well-explained definitions.
