My Quirky Life

Crossfit 100428 

(I feel like such a proper crossfitter typing the date like that!)

Started with the typical warm up of the foam roll (which I hate using on my legs but I know it’s necessary). Footwork outside.

Followed by this “warm up” (honestly why would this be called a warm up???):

10 sit-ups 

10 wall balls (hold weighted ball, squat, then catapult ball against wall, catch)

10 push-ups (off-knees, slightly elevated)

10 squats

10 double-unders (with jump rope, one jump, two revolutions each time)

10 pull-ups (assisted by big band)

15 kettle swings (35lb - trainer made me move up in weight since last time gosh)

Practiced wall balls and power cleans (35lb barbell, squat and jerk up into rack position) for form.

WOD (Workout of the Day) for Time

2 wall balls (10lb)

Wooooo, was I a sweaty beast after? A big fat YES. But I love it, it’s so worth it. On Monday I had also shared my concerned with Kris (my trainer) about my concerns that I may be hitting plateau even though I’m still eating great and working out and he asked me to bring in what I have eaten the past 3 or so days so I brought that in today. He told me he’ll look it over and consult with me about it. His way of training and how helpful he is is a HUGE reason why I decided to bite my lip and sign up (because believe me it’s not cheap).
