From now on I will post after each lesson.
Today we warmed up with a 1000m row at resistance level 5.
Then we did a short workout that consisted of 3 rounds of each:
5 sit-ups
5 push-ups (I'm still doing girlie push-ups)
50m farmer's walk with 2 15lb kettlebell weights
Then we did some squat therapy because a good squat is the foundation of good crossfit. After this, we learned the "Thruster", a combination of the front squat and the push press.
For the WOD (Workout of the Day), we did Jackie, which consists of:
1000 Meter Row
50 Thrusters, 45lbs men (30 lbs women)
30 pullups
(for time)
As we are still learning, we adjusted this to using 6 lb bars for the Thrusters and instead of pull-ups, we did ring rows, and it was still pretty insane!!! I cannot imagine being able to do this with 30lb!!! My time was 12.11.
After trying many ways of getting fit and ultimately getting bored of all of them, I discovered Crossfit. I love the idea of someone kicking my ass into gear and getting into the best shape of my life. Follow my experience and overall progress as I attempt to "Forge Elite Fitness". I am taking an initial "On-Ramp" Crossfit course at Windy City Crossfit which last 4 weeks. My goals here are to lose some weight, tighten up the old body and see some serious improvement in my overall fitness.
