Both are inspirational, but unlike the guy in the second video I am not a fan of CrossFit. In fact, the very thing the guy likes about CrossFit, I dislike. But, hey, if it scratches his itch and keeps him going...
My fav so far :

What is it specifically that you dislike in it ?
The momentum, which is a ticking timebomb for joints, especially older joints. Either not training to momentary muscular failure or being goaded by other CrossFitters to go well beyond that point: arbitrary limits. Some senseless movements, and variety for its own sake.
Also, its cultish nature:

Ah yes. I am looking through long time perspective as well.
If he started this during at my age, who knows how long his joints would have lasted.
