Crossfittin'

I was never interested in crossfit before.

Never say never though!  Because......

I decided to try a little crossfit at home tonight! Didn't take very long which I loved! And the intensity was up there for my level of physical fitness ( = weak sauce!).

Honestly, that CF looks really hardcore (and it is!) I haven't attended an actual class but I'm sure people sh*t, shart, and/or fart on the floor along with throwing up. (FYI - I did not do any of that today if you're wondering.)

I think home is a safe place for me to do CF for now.

This looked easy written but if you're a beginner like me it got pretty hard.

Push-ups suck! But I love me some squats!!!

I did modified squats by the way. Still hard as hell, especially if you're going for time. I wasn't necessarily going for time but I will in the future.

Crossfit At Home (for time):

25 squats - 5 push-ups

20 squats - 10 push-ups

15 squats - 15 push-ups

10 squats - 20 push-ups

5 squats - 25 push-ups

Today's time: 7:38p - 7:47p

Next time I will use a stop watch. (DUH!)

Still a great workout! Arms are jelly. I could stand to do more squats in this set though.

After this workout, I kind of discovered something about myself. I actually like high intensity workouts. I think I'll try HIIT soon. :)

Thunder Buddies and Crawling

Tonight, I decided to pull my 8 lb dumbbells out and work on the arms a bit. Didn't take very long to get fatigued. Then I did 2 sets of 50 squats, got dizzy and almost fell over. I was so busy counting I forgot to regulate my breathing. Oops!

In other news, a friend of mine, who we will call "Thunder Buddy", because his other name lacks the appropriate amount of vowels to properly pronounce (haha jk), finally checked himself into the ER at the hospital where I work for his bronchitis so I went to go see him. He's a personal trainer and offered to help me too.

I like that so many of my friends are willing to give me real help. :) Thanks Thunder Buddy!
