CrossFit commercial: People come in asking, "Where are all the machines?" I tell them, "We ARE the machines." I thought this would be appropriate for today, since there are no machines involved in today's workout. I'll get to that later. :)
I have to admit, I have been EXTREMELY lazy this weekend. I had terrible, horrible, no good, very bad headaches (those of you with children will know this book!) on Friday and Saturday, so I did not workout either of those days. Then, yesterday Mother Nature came to visit and I thought "OHHHHH!!! THAT'S what was going on!" lol Needless to say, I did not workout yesterday either. I don't recall a weekend where I did not get out of my pajamas at least once! I will definitely have to kick it up a notch this week!!
Yesterday was my 5 month CrossFit anniversary! Yup...I started CrossFit on September 24th. It's hard to believe it's been 5 months. Since I didn't do anything yesterday, that means today is "stat" day. I'll take my measurements this afternoon and post them in a separate blog post. I hope they have changed! If not, that means I have REALLY got to kick it up TWO notches!!! lol
Today's workout is 12-9-6-3 reps of:
Thrusters w/20 lbs
Burpees
Fab Ab Workout:
90 Situps
24 Pushups
1:30 Plank
*******************************
3:26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO happy with my time, but boy was I sucking wind!! I was wheezing and everything! I really do think I have exercise induced asthma - I need to get that checked out, huh? I tried to do my burpees without the aerobic step, but I'm still not there yet. I can do them, but they put such a strain on my hamstrings that it ain't even funny! I used 24 lbs for the thrusters and probably could have done a little more. Something to remember next time. :)
I did all 90 situps and 24 pushups, but could only do a 1-minute plank. Situps were done with two stops - I stopped after 35 and then again after 60. Pushups were done with one stop after 15, then I continued all the way through.
I was trying something different today on the treadmill. I came across this "color run" training for a 5K and it sounded easy, but of course it wasn't easy for me! Anyway, you run 3-5 days per week and on the first week you run for 1 minute, walk for 90 seconds - doing that 8 times. Well, I could only do it twice today! I started coughing and could not catch my breath, so I stopped after the 2nd round. My goal is to make it at least 3 rounds on Wednesday - wish me luck on that! I've got to get this running thing down - it's really beginning to nerve the HELL out of me!!! ;)
