So here is yesterday's workout:
I was really tired from my daughter getting up super early and I was an emotional wreck over a personal issue. Needless to say, my brain wasn't at the gym even though my body was.
Doing the body builders was very hard. It started out at 75, then before I started he lowered it to 65, then as I was going along and my time was getting worse and worse, he lowered it to 50. I worked hard for those 50, but I wish I would have been able to do more. Calories burned: 463
Here is another weird thing, I have never sweat so much in my life. I thought it was a fluke, but today was just as bad. I wonder why. Why after about 12 workouts am I sweating like a pig about to be butchered?
I went back today (Thursday) beause Trainer Paul is going to Crossfit Regionals for the next three days. I've seen the videos, they are hard core man! Good luck to Trainer Paul!
Here is today's workout:
After warmup I had to push a big ass tractor tired around the outside of the building. One lap was 500 meteres, I got to do 2 laps. I was able to get it going pretty good on the straight parts, but I have no clue how to get it around the corners. It was kinda fun, in a way, I liked pretending it was a big Price is Right wheel and I was spining it to get on the Showcase Showdown. I did each lap at 6min 12seconds. (the frist time in the photo below). At least I was consistent.
After the warm up and tire push I then had to do 1min of crunchs and 1min of flutter kicks without stopping or putting my feet down for 3 rounds. EEEK! My abs are rather sore from that. I forgot to keep count becuase I was too busy trying to survive it!
After the warm up, tire push, crunches/flutter kicks came the workout. Yeah. Haven't started the workout yet. Today I got to play with kettle bells! I was a little excited until Trainer Paul told me to get a 35 pound one! Yikes! With the kettle bell was box jumps. When I did box jumps the last time I used a 12" box. I told him that I was able to do them but they were kinda easy. WRONG THING TO SAY! (hahaha) So he busted out the 16" box. let me tell you, that 4" makes a difference. My abs were already sore, and I was reminded every time I jumped.
Here is what the work out was:
21/15/9
I had to do 21 kettle bell swings and 21 box jumps, then 15 kettle bells and 15 box jumps, then 9 of each. I did that in 11 min 52 sec (the 2nd time in the photo above).
Trainer Paul thought I should have been able to do it in 10 min or less. I started off ok, but then I let my brain get in my way. I thought in my head the kettle bell was too heavy and so it was. I thought the box was too high and so it was. I never fell on the box or lost control of the bell, but it was quite a lot of mental issues going on there.
Plus I was sweating like a pig again! is that normal? I have no idea, I'll have to ask around. :)
Calories burned: 555
And so we go,
