The box is my friend
Thursday, January 28, 2010 6:53 AM
Crossfit Central's Facebook status today started out with "Is this a typo?" Uh-oh. It actually wasn't that bad. It was hard, sure, but in hindsight, not too bad. 21-15-9 Toes-to-bar Overhead squats (M 95# / W 65#) Supermans Burpees Box jumps Class was crowded this morning. We were all crammed in with all of our equipment. Supermans and burpees had to be outside... Read More...

Row, row, row....
Thursday, January 14, 2010 6:59 AM
A treat for us on Tuesday! Rowing was in the WOD! I love rowing, because it works everything. You have to do it right, though, otherwise it can completely exhaust you. Sure, it can be a pain in the butt because there are only 6 rowers and at least 12 in the class, but we make it work. It’s all about the right rotation. WOD: 500m row 21 box jumps (24” box) 21...

Thrusters and burpees
Monday, January 11, 2010 10:57 AM
Today I tackled one of the two extra WODs I need to complete this week as part of the “I Am Crossfit” challenge. I invited Andy to work out with me, since we don’t often get to do that, and we cleared space in the living room after I got home from Kung Fu. I was nice and warmed up after Kung Fu (I reviewed all of the black belt material I’ll be testing on next... Read More...

A week of workouts
Tuesday, December 29, 2009 11:20 AM
It's been a week since I wrote anything in this blog, if you haven't noticed. With Christmas and family in town, I just didn't have time or the desire to interrupt the fun by sitting down at the computer to write. That doesn't mean I didn't workout, though. I tried to fit in a workout most days here at home to tide me over until family left and I could get back... Read More...

From cold to sinus infection
Tuesday, December 22, 2009 4:45 PM
I've been fighting something off for about 2 weeks now. Today I finally succumbed. The doctor says it's a sinus infection. It's been so bad, I've had to carry a box of tissues everywhere and I can't wear my contacts. Fortunately, I feel better when I work out, so I put together a couple of little WODs this morning: WOD 1: 10 to 1 Burpees Squats Lunges This looks... Read More...

I can't add
Thursday, December 10, 2009 6:30 PM
It froze last night! I was all bundled up for class this morning, and we were all grateful when the warmups began. The WOD: 5 rounds of MAX REPS 1 min pullups 1 min burpees 1 min ground to overhead (M 135#/F 95#) 1 min rest Zach forbid us from using gloves on the bar because someone could slip and get hurt. That disappointed some of my friends, but I had planned... Read More...

Swings and burpees
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 6:45 AM
The cold front blew in this morning just after 4 am, and I woke up early to the sound of the wind blowing through the big pecan tree outside the window. I wish I had slept a little longer, but the cool morning was welcome! I really liked today's WOD: 10 Kettlebell Swings / 1 Burpee 10 Kettlebell Swings / 2 Burpees 10 Kettlebell Swings / 3 Burpees 10 Kettlebell... Read More...

Squats and burpees
Friday, November 13, 2009 5:28 PM
I wasn't sure what I was going to do for this morning's Kung Fu conditioning class until last night. At first I thought about putting together a classic workout of tabata sets, but then I saw the sneak peak of today's Crossfit Central WOD, and I really wanted to do it. 5 rounds 30 squats 20 pullups (subbed sumo deadlift high pulls - 1 pood) 10 burpees We didn...

An AMRAP
Saturday, October 10, 2009 4:17 AM
The rain crashed into Austin Friday morning with a bang, startling me awake around 5:30 a.m. That's about when a huge branch fell right on the roof, and despite my urge to stay in bed, I decided to get up. My motivation ended there. I just wasn't feeling much motivation for Friday morning conditioning. The rain, as much as it's needed, seemed to have dampened... Read More...

Cheering on progress
Friday, October 02, 2009 7:04 PM
I took a rest day today -- it was unexpected, since today is kung fu conditioning day, but we all need to rest periodically, and who am I to argue? I timed the workout for my class this morning. It was a workout I borrowed from a Crossfit coach and the brother-in-law of one of my close friends. My friend told me he did it, and I loved the idea, so I immediately... Read More...

Jelly arms
Thursday, September 24, 2009 7:13 AM
Sometimes it is a blessing and a curse to check Facebook before I leave the house on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Crossfit Central sends out the WOD in a status update. This morning -- not so bad. AMRAP 20 minutes 20 supermans (our class substituted this for 12 hip extensions -- there just wasn't enough equipment) 9 ring dips 6 burpees I completed 11 rounds... Read More...

Another 800 sandwich
Tuesday, September 15, 2009 4:38 AM
My weekend runs are definitely helping me. This morning's Crossfit workout was tough, but I think it's the best I've ever done with so much running. WOD: 800m run 15-9-6 Power Snatch (M 135 / W 95) Burpees 800m run I used the 45lb bar for the power snatch This form was tough for me to master, and I don't think I ever did. Burpees were no problem... Read More...
