Full of Win!

What a great workout!!!! I think today was probably the first time I finished without feeling like I was going to pass out or vomit. I felt great! Maybe it means I should have done 4 rounds of running (which was an option) instead of just 2 rounds. Here is what we had to do:

Conditioning:
In teams of 2
2 rounds:
Run 800m
50 box jumps
40 partner clap planks
50 pullups
40 db push press (30lbs)
50 medball situps (15lb)

Not only I increased the weight in the dumbell and the medball from the last push press and situps, but my pullups were great as well!! I was able to do 10 at a time no problem (assisted of course).

It was a great workout to finish the crossfit week.

Next time will be at the new place where my box is moving to. I'm really excited for it!

Feeling the Heat!

Holy cow! I'm so glad I got workout shorts recently, because today I had to wear them. I went to the 9:30am in class and it was definitely hot out. We were drenched in sweat by the end of warm up.

Here is what we did today: 

Strength: front squat 4×7 (35lbs)

Conditioning:

Run 200m

25-20-15-10-5*

Db thrusters, tricep dips, box jumps

Run 200m

Also run 200m in between each round

The heat did not help with all the running, but I finished it and didn't die :)

Plus I got a new shirt from our Gym :)

I love my box! :)

6 Weeks Into Crossfit

I'm starting to feel the heat out there, even though it wasn't that hot today. As always, it felt great afterwards. My sister in law also joined me today so it was nice having a partner to work out with :)


Here is what we did:
Conditioning: 20min amrap
10 push press (10lb kbs)
10 box jumps (20" box)
20 mt. Climbers
Run 100m


Each round took me about 3 minutes to complete, so I think I did about 6 rounds, but I'm not sure. All I know is that it was harder than I thought it would be. 


Afterwards we did abs work out, so we did some situps, butterfly situps and bicycle. I really don't have a problem doing situps. I find that's probably the easiest thing for me to do, out of all the exercises. Bicycles, however, make my sides burn a lot, but I guess it's because it's working. 


It was a good workout overall :)

Beginning of 3rd Week

Last week wasn't my greatest.. I didn't follow my diet very strictly and it was just a bad week overall. So I decided to try and do better this week. Working out in the morning is still weird for me. I'm not used to working out without having a lot of time to get ready and eat. What I do is I eat as soon as I wake up around 7am to give enough time for the food to digest by the time I go work out at 9am. The last two Sunday I had walls that kept me from doing the work outs to the full extent. But today I was fine.
Here is what we had to do:

Conditioning: in teams of 2
800m run
100 kb swings
50 burpees
100 squats
50 db thrusters
50 box jumps
800m run

Since this was done in teams of 2, we each had to do half of these work outs. While one person ran 400 meters, the other rested until she had to go and run 400 meters.

For the kb swings we used a 15lb. I thought it was a little too light, and it actually made it more difficult. For the db thrusters, we used 10lb dumbells. That was actually enough, a little too heavy actually.

Overall, it was a great work out and I'm just glad I didn't have anything to keep me from completing them.
