My First WOD at the GYM!

Today I had my first official in gym workout. Not that the at-home workouts were not difficult, but it was definitely more exciting and better to have a workout at the gym, with the instructor ensuring I had a good form and with the support of other people. 


Our WOD (Workout Of the Day) was the Lumberjack 20. The instructor scaled it down for me, since this is my first week, so instead of 400 meters, I ran 200 meters in between exercises. Here is how it went:


Warm-up: Run 400m


Lumberjack 20:
20 Sumo Deadlift High Pull
Run 200m
20 Pull-ups
Run 200m
20 overhead squat (with a PVC)
Run 200m
20 kettlebell swings
Run 200m
20 pushups
Run 200m
20 medball Situps
Run 200m
20 Dumbbell thrusters
Run 200m

I finished it in 23 minutes

I wouldn't say it was as difficult as yesterday's workout, but I had to push though a lot, especially during the pull-ups and the push ups. Plus I can definitely feel it in my arms and legs. Tomorrow should be fun getting out of bed to go to work. And by the way, I was able to do push ups just fine! :)

I'm super happy I finished my first in class WOD!!

  1. That's a rough one. Lumberjack 20 is a hero WOD, btw. Definitely among the coolest and most bad ass person you can read about. Well... read stories about from when the workout was first posted (from friends and family).
