This is me from the other day! Thank goodness for Pitbull and his music or I don't know that I could finish some days!! I fell asleep on the couch last night sometime between 9:30 and 10:00. Yesterday's workout was a fun one, but very exhausting! When I got up to go to bed, my shoulders and upper arms were killing me - those wall balls that I love so much kicked in! I took some Tylenol and slept like a baby for the rest of the night. Not very sore this morning. My ass/glutes are letting me know they've been used a lot this week and my lower back was a little achy this morning (not bad) from the deadlifts yesterday. Overall, not too shabby!
Today's workout looks like a fun and quick workout. I think I'll run 1/4 mile before doing it, just to get in some extra cardio.
For Time:
5 Front squats w/40 lbs
25 situps
4 Front squats w/40 lbs
20 situps
3 Front squats w/40 lbs
15 situps
2 Front squats w/40 lbs
10 situps
1 Front squat w/40 lbs
5 situps
I'm going to do 1 real CrossFit situp for every 5 prescribed - ex: 5 CF situps during 25 set, 4 CF situps during 20 set, 3 CF situps during 15 set, 2 CF situps during 10 set, 1 CF situp during 5 set. I've been doing them on the weight bench and it feels like I use all of my abdominal muscles doing it that way - which is better than the way I did them before, on the floor with my feet under the treadmill. Hopefully, I'll get to where I can do CF situps without any modifications. Not hopefully, I know I will! I'll post my time later. :)

8:40 - AS RX'D, bitches!!!!!!!! Woo-hoo!!!!! I can't believe I can not only DO Crossfit situps now (tried SEVERAL times before), but I did them ALL!!!! I believe doing situps on my weight bench helped tremendously in strengthening my abdominal muscles. I have tried to do CrossFit situps several times before, and could only barely get my shoulder blades off of the floor. I was way slower doing them this way than on the bench, but am SO proud of myself!! My feet didn't even come up off of the floor - I figured they would, but NOPE! YAY, me!!!
I also used 50 lbs. with the squats - I figured I could use all of the extra help I could get! Also - my time is double what everyone else had, but I did NO modifications WHATSOEVER!!! :)
Not included in my time, but I ran 1/4 mile on the treadmill before starting. I saw that everyone's times was in the 4-5 minute mark, and thought "What the hell...can't hurt!" My treadmill time was 3:18 - I jogged/ran at 4.6/mph
SO proud of me!! :)
