I know.. I know… its not sweaty Sunday but I decided to move it to Monday. Why you may ask? I just had a busy/long weekend and by the time I could get to it it was 9:30 at night and well it just wasn’t worth it at that time. So here we are.. It’s Monday and I’m sharing with you last weeks workouts!
Monday: 9AM CrossFit
Skill: 5×5 Front Squats. I did 25 pounds. This was the first time I did Front squats. They were were fun but really hurt my wrists.
The one workout I wanted to talk about in this WOD was knees to elbows. Oh boy! You hang on to a pull up bar and do exactly what it says lift your knees to your elbow. It is a workout for sure. I really didn’t feel it until 2 days after. My upper abs were burning.
Tuesday: 1 PM CrossFit
Skill: EMOM {each minute on the minute} for 10 Min- Push Press 50 lb
Then we worked on Hand Stand Pushups but not actually the hand stands just practicing what it would feel like to put your head on the ground. Kinda weird to explain.
I never knew there were so many ways to do burpees until CrossFit and I have learned to hate them all. Haha. Lateral Burpees were no fun. You go down then lift your body up and then jump over the bar and do another one. It was so tiring!
Wednesday: I took the day off from CrossFit because I was pretty sore. I decided to go for a run and I ran about 1.5 miles before I remembered I forgot to start my Nike+ App and gave up. I just wasn’t feeling it!
Thursday: 9 AM CrossFit
Skill: 4×3 Upright Rows 30 lb. You stayed with the same weight and did 3 reps 4 times at your own pace.
This WOD was crazy hard but I loved every minute of it. It was supposed to be:
40 Double Unders
30 KB Swings
20 Chest To Bar Pullups
10 Burpee Box Jumps
and then you go back up.
At the box there are always two workouts a regular and a beginner. I kind of fall in the middle. I mean I know what I’m doing with most exercises and I have the stamina for most exercises but there are just some that I don’t know how to do that puts me somewhere in the middle. I never did a Double Under before until Thursday. That is when you jump rope but with every jump you spin the rope around twice.
So anyways my WOD came in the middle of the regular and beginner WOD. I started with the regular WOD but just did single jump ropes instead of double which meant we had to do whatever the Double Unders were times 3 but I figured I’d be able to do them a lot faster then trying to figure out double unders and I didn’t want to get tooooo far behind. Then I did the 30 at a lighter weight, 20 with a blue band, and 10 burpee box jumps. On the way back up I moved over to the Beginner WOD! And good thing I did because I couldn’t even do all of the pullups. My arms were so tired. {they are still sore today from this workout… Yep 5 days later!} then KB swings at a higher weight and then I actually did or attempted to do 25 double unders. I can seem to do one and then stop but I can’t keep going yet. I’ll get there though.
{definitely a lot to talk about in this WOD because it really pushed me!}
Oh and I learned that Burpee Box Jumps are probably my favorite type of Burpee and Box Jump! I told you before that the box jumps seriously take all my might but putting the burpee in between actually levels both of the exercises out!
Friday- Rest Day
Saturday- I took the dogs for a walk with my mom probably a mile.
Sunday- Ran 2 miles. 
The first mile was awesome man I was cruisin. 8:30 Mile! I never run that. Then though after a mile and a half I started getting tired and ended my second mile at a little over 9 minutes. I’ll take that any day though! It felt awesome.
One post in the future I want to talk about is how really eating affects your runs! Man on man do I think it really affects me but that will be saved for another post!
Can’t wait to tackle another week of workouts!
Question: What does your workouts look like this week?

Whew! Looking like you’re killing crossfit! U go, lady!!! Spa love!
Whoa! you are a hardcore crossfiter, aren’t ya?! Awesome! I wish I can join the fun…Keep up the good work! Miss you..
I’m trying haah. its fun!
Wow those are some killer workouts!!
Great job at crossfit last week! You’re killing it! My husband and I always joke about the “48-hour rule” of soreness. The most intense pain comes two days after the workout, so if you end up sore the same day, you know it’s only going to get worse! The good news is that it’s all downhill after that!
haha. so true. so true!
