It's an Early Christmas!

Height: 5'5.75"
Weight 122.8 lbs


For Christmas Casey bought me a spin bike. On Friday morning he woke me up and brought me downstairs to find it completely assembled and told me I can start using it at anytime. Today I wheeled it into the garage and enjoyed a good 40 minute stationary ride and I LOVED it! Thanks Baby!

Filthy Fifty

"Filthy Fifty"

For Time:

50 of each

Box Jumps
Jumping Pull-ups
Kettle Bell Swings- 1 pood (36#)
Walking lunge (50 each side)
Knees to Elbows
Push Press 45# bar
GHD Back Extension
Wall Balls (20/12)
Burpees
Double -Unders

My workout with Alterations

50 of each:

Box Jumps (18 in box)
Jumping Pull-ups
Kettle Bell Swings- 25# Weight
Walking lunge (50 each side)
Knees to Elbows
Push Press- 10x45# bar, 20x40# bar, 20x30# bar
(dry-heaves begin, hahahaha)
Back Extension
Wall Balls- 12 lb ball
Jump-Rope 2 min

Time: 56 min

This was very intense. It was my 3rd time extreme dry-heaving during a workout. If I had more food in my stomach I'm sure it would have made a reappearance. Thankfully I made it to the restroom before it began and was able to get back to my workout right after but this added time. I didn't even attempt the burpees. If I were home I would have gone for it but if I puked in public/my place of work, I'd never live it down.

I'm going to use this workout as a benchmark. I'll try it again in about a month or so to see if and where I have improved. I would like to complete the full WOD before I focus on time. Also, note to self, bring your speed rope!!!!

Crossfit E3 WOD

It has been a while since I've blogged. I could spout a million excuses but because I have all of 2 followers whom may or may not read my blog, I feel no explanation is needed.

WOD from CrossFit E3 in Eagle, ID:

4 rounds for time:

Pull-ups 5-10-20-40
Air Squats 10-20-40-80
Double-Unders 15-30-60-80
Abmat Sit-ups 20-40-80-160

I did this from my gym (Gold's Gym). Due to lack of equipment I had to make the following adjustments:

Pull-ups done with 80 lb assist (yeah, like I can do 75 pull-ups on my own)
No speed rope (plastic beaded rope) so I doubled the number of double-unders and did speed jumps for 30-60-120-160. This clearly was an easier option so I think I am going to hide a speed rope in my desk :)

This was still a good WOD and provided a good challenge and took a not-s-impressive 40- although I can't say I was really pushing through it. The 300 abmat sit-ups were especially difficult. I will be sore in 2 days for sure!

Thank you CrossFit E3!
