Since I started doing CrossFit I try not to have too much of a fixed routine because the whole idea behind it is to do constantly-varied workouts and work on all aspects of fitness (that includes coordination and flexibility and agility etc.).

I currently train in a non-CrossFit regular gym where I also teach some kickboxing classes and I try to train about 5 times a week myself, and I try to mix it up between strength training (currently trying Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program which is a 4 week cycle) and add some endurance / cardio or intervals (things like rowing, swimming, running, cycling) and metabolic conditioning workouts (metcons or high intensity workouts like most CrossFit WOD's).

Also do not underestimate the importance of good nutrition and sleep!
