Good morning.

Who wouldn't want to go running this morning!?

Crossfit

So I have been playing around with this workout program called Crossfit. It is pretty well known now and gaining in popularity daily. My problem with it was I really didn' always know how to do all of the components of the workouts that they post on the website and my gym wasn't really set up for it. Well I finally decided to offically join GSX Athletics and their Crossfit group. Yesterday was my first workout and.......

I am torn up today.

The workout looked innocent enough. Do 150 Kettle Bell Swings and do 10 Burpees every time you had to stop or pause. I hadn't ever done that many Kettle Bell Swings before so I was unsure of how it would go. Well let's just say that about Kettle Bell Swing #70 I knew I was in trouble. 4 sets of Burpees later and another 80 Kettle Bell Swings and I was dead to the world.

My group partners looked much better than I did after the workout and I am not even sure I did all 150. I know I came close, but I started to lose count toward the end when it got really tough. I am going to have to work on that because I don't want to cheat myself.

By the way the girls in the group did the same weight I did and smoked me.

Overall it was a fun experience and I can't wait to to get back for my next class. The camaraderie in doing the workouts in a group is awesome.

Next time I will try to grab some pictures. I was too busy trying to catch my breath to worry about it this time.
