18 or Nice girls finish last...

Sweet Jebus.

One of the toughest workouts I have done so far.

Translation:

10 rounds for time:

Suicides (10 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards)
15 ball slams (I used a 16 lb ball)
15 box jumps
15 horizontal rows using the TRX harness/ rings

By round 3, I was getting exhausted. I was hurting on my abs on my right side and my hips were hurting on my left. My suicides were getting slower and because of my knee, my box jumps were more like step-ups by round 5.

Our trainer lost track of time so, I don't know how I really did. I do know this: I did a lot better then the skinny slacker girls who were in class. Long story. And I think P and I did 11 rounds... We lost count. I was concentrating on how much I hate the workout and forgot to keep counting.

P says that we finished around 36 minutes. Sounds like a good number.

17 or The awful truth...

So, while going through some old photos online, I found some full body shots. Maybe this will convince myself that I am in fact actually loosing some weight...

I might have P take updated photos of me sometime soon.

16 or Lunges are the devil...

Translation:

6 rounds of 4 "snatch" weight lifting

As Many Rounds As Possible in 15 minutes:

• 2 times over head weighted lunges (I held a weighted medicine ball over my head and did walking lunges across a parking lot and back)
• 12 box jumps
• Shuffle to the bank across the parking lot and back
• 12 TRX bicept curls

I managed to get through 2 rounds and ended on the lunges. It turned out being the longest part of the work out.

15 or The tire...

 And here is what we did on Friday May 04, 2012...

Translation:

Warm up = 15 minutes


3 rounds total
2 minutes per workout
1 minute rest between stations:

• Tire flip with partner outside
• Box push with weight on top
• Ball slams (20 lbs)
• Wall balls (10 lbs)

 

 And here were the tires that we used... No one could do the huge one. It is about 5 feet tall and weights over 200 lbs.

 Proof that it was as big as me... And I am only about 5'3"ish.

More proof.

14 or Committment...

My goodness. It has been such a long time since I have had the time to sit down and write about my progress. I am making a promise to myself to keep this log more current and up to date...

With that said, since I have last written, P and I had purchased a groupon way back in October for a place called Cross Fit. The plan at the time was to keep working out as much as we could at The Well at school and once we lost enough weight (by the time the groupon was going to expire), we would then go and use the groupon (which was good for 12 sessions to be used with in 90 days).

Well, we eventually forgot about the groupon until the last minute and we started the 12 visits in March... Long story short, we gave in and signed up for a 2 month membership. We try to go at least every Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and whenever Saturday or Sunday that we can. It is such a hard workout, but it is real rewarding at the end.


Anyways, I figured I should start taking a photo of the work outs that we do each day that we go because sometimes, I can't believe that I did what I did...

Here is what we did today:

Translation:

Round 1:
21 dead lift high pull on the right
10 push ups
21 dead lift high pull on the left
15 push ups
Run to the Chase Bank and back
21 dead lift "snatch" on the right
20 push ups
21 dead lift "snatch" on the left
25 push ups
Run to the Chase Bank and back

Round 2:
21 dead lift high pull on the right
10 squat jumps
21 dead lift high pull on the left
15 squat jumps
Run to the Chase Bank and back
21 dead lift "snatch" on the right
20 squat jumps
21 dead lift "snatch" on the left
25 squat jumps
Run to the Chase Bank and back

And end all tired and sweaty.

It took me almost 24 minutes to finish this workout...

Currently hovering around 198ish.
