Cross Fit Crazy?!?




CrossFit is a fitness program for everyone–regardless of age or ability–who is interested in improving fitness. CrossFit provides immediate, noticeable, and positive results.CrossFit treats every participant as an athlete, and seeks to challenge that athlete with a constantly changing program featuring a wide range of functional movements performed at high intensity through a variety of modalities.CrossFit develops and maintains one’s ability to engage in the activities that improve and extend the quality of life.

My running bestie started on this program a few weeks back, of course she got me interested in taking the plunge. I purchased a 10 session package and last Saturday I tested the winds....

So far I have completed two sessions and at this point I think once a week is all that can handle at this point - ha ha. MUST allow for my body to recover... (whoa).

As an example here's what we completed this Saturday...

We were partnered up and as my friend was completing the excersise of 20 sets; I was to hold a 25lb weight and then switch. Ended up jogging a combination of almost 2 miles with this workout; felt good to break it up.


























This is exactly what I felt like when we were finished....









So now Monday morning I am still feeling sore; but oh yes crazy me I am looking forward to the next session...

Have you tried Crossfit yet and if so what did you think of it?

  2. I tried it and really liked it, but then got injured trying to do too much with CrossFit and race training. I think you're smart to stick to once a week.
