You're right - it isn't really a 'workout', more of a challenge. In fact the first one I posted is a challenge too.
So are 1 minute all-out sprints on the airdyne.
One thing I will mention, from personal experience training in this way I noticed SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT in my athletic performance. It was quite noticeable, especially for sports where you start/stop and sprint, followed by hitting.
My recovery time also rapidly improved.
But, i do agree with Berz and Skinnypup - Strength training and cardio are ALSO EFFECTIVE. Which is why I continue to strength train and only do the crossfit type stuff a few months per year.
But I will say this: I have not ever been so close to my physical and mental endurance limits as I was when I was training like that.
