The box is my friend

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...

Row, row, row....

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...

Thrusters and burpees

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...

A week of workouts

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...

From cold to sinus infection

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...

I can't add

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...

Swings and burpees

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...

Squats and burpees

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 ...

An AMRAP

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...

Cheering on progress

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...
