I used to be big into the HITT stuff when I was boxer. I was strong and fast as shit. But I'm older now and really feel the abuse my joints took in that time. IMO, if you aren't going to be doing combat sports I would probably stick with low-rep olympic lifts and a mix of track jogging, bikes, and running in a pool.
There's litterally nothing that can be done to repair worn out joints. Y, there are replacements and such but best to avoid dealing with the medical industry at all if possible. Take care of the OEM equipment instead of replacing with after-market. ;)
I did Crossfit for quite a while. Would not do it again unless I just wanted to bang middle aged yoga moms. Even then not sure its worth all of the douchebaggery.
