Sat morning CrossFit

Original WOD: row 20 cal, 50 power cleans (95/65), 50 sit ups, 75 double unders, 50 kettle bell swings (55/35), 50 box jumps, 50 ring dips, 50 wall balls (20/14)

The class was too big to allow so many people to set up all that equipment, so instead we did partner workouts, with double the above numbers, split however you want between you & your partner. You're not allowed to both do it at the same time, instead you tag team each other, so it allows a lot of breaks. There were about 8 sets of partners, and my partner & I came first! It was mainly cuz my partner was bad ass, but it was also because we made a great team. I was better at the aerobic exercises while she was better at the arm strength exercises, so I did most of the double unders, more than half of the box jumps, while she did more than half of the arm strength stuff.

We finished in 23:21. I scaled the weights down to 45lb for the power cleans (was light, probly should have used 55lb), and I used the 10lb wall ball instead of the 14lb ball. My workout partner used all of the prescribed weights cuz she kicks butt.

Mon: 4.5 mile walk
Tue: Tennis (1.5 hour)
Sat: 4.5 mile jog / walk. (Same 8min/2min ratio as last week)

2 cheats used.

Suddenly all of my evenings are busy, and I failed to compensate for it by planning my workouts earlier in the day. Will fix for the next report.

 

[INTJMom]

I achieved my goal for the week.

 

[ChocolateMoose123]

I looked it up and watched a few videos. Played around with a few stretches as a cooldown in my class today. I'm interested in learning more now. Cheers.

I'm going to try to do it every Wednesday. It kicks my butt - in a really different way than anything else. I wonder if there are classes where you live. I'm sure there are. I really think you'd enjoy it very much.

=====

Sat: Did 45 min on the elliptical. Burned 350 calories.

EDIT: Mon: 45 min cardio. 365 calories.

Week Two Progress:
Cardio 4/4. Pushups 80/70. Yoga/Pilates 2/1

Going over my goals is nice . I have a 'rest' reminder program now for my computer to help on my pushup endeavor. Hoorah!

 

[JocktheMotie]

Yesterday was arms with the barbell. 5x 10 shoulder presses, 20 curls, 30 dips, increasing weight 10 pounds each set. Ended up with 85 lbs on the bar, had to break the curls up at that point though to 10/10. Finished up with 25 toes to rings. Then got a migraine so in all kinds of pain today

 

[Randomnity]

I failed my exercise for last week, I guess I have to use a cheat day. I don't even have a good excuse.

However, I did rock out my daily and weekly diet goals, so I guess I'm only half of a failure!

You're the opposite of me! I rocked out my exercise goals, and failed at my diet goals.

I'm proud of myself today, cuz I made it to the 6 am class again, even after staying up late last night. Getting to bed at a decent time is a constant struggle for me. I think my body clock is 25 or 26 hours long instead of 24 hours. I only had 4 hrs sleep, but I'm perfectly awake! (...so far, might need a nap later....)

Anyway, today's WOD:
15 min time limit
every min on the minute - 5 ring dips
after the ring dips, double unders
max 500 double unders

I used the medium band for my ring dips, with my knee in the band for most of it, but then switched to my foot in the band near the end when I was struggling with fatigue. I got to a total of 314 double unders and of course, 5 x 15 = 75 ring dips.

Before it started, I thought it would be easy to make it to 500 double unders, but I ended up only have 10-20 seconds left in each minute for double unders after doing dips and running back to the rope.

Oh yeah, and yesterday I ran up and down 1000 steps.

How long does this thing last again?

How long does this thing last again?

Almost 2 weeks down, 5 1/2 months to go.

Ugh, I just finished 3 months myself. Oh well, was planning on redoing it all again.

 

[JocktheMotie]

Today was legs. Similar to yesterday, 5x 10 squats, 20 leg extensions, 30 walking lunges with weights.

 

[Magic Poriferan]

So much for another 350 push-ups. I'm sick.

 

[redcheerio]

So much for tomorrow's 6 am class. My car is in the shop and won't be ready until tomorrow evening. Oh well, hopefully I can go to tomorrow's evening class instead.

 

[mmhmm]

sunday - 90min yogilates

monday - i did 51 flights up the stairs. i'm counting this because
i was in heels and carrying two bags--people leave the windows
in the stairwell open, and the rain gets in, no way to do it barefoot.

tuesday -
AM 30min core/trx
PM - 30min pilates floorwork

wednesday - PM 30min arms/trx

i'm dying to get some more yoga in.
don't have time for long sessions
this week. so i'm doing it in spurts.

i've been alternating raw food with
extremely unhealthy food, hoping
it will all cancel out (hahaha. bad mmhmm)

but i'm going to go get a colonic today.
i think i'd be too pooped for workout.
maybe try to squeeze something in
before i get basted.
