Tim has an interesting post this morning on our likes and dislikes. While this is about CrossFit, might there something else in your life that you dislike that maybe you could try a bit harder to get better at? And then you might just start liking it a bit more. Of the several hundred exercises and movements [...] Take, for example, the Workout of the Day: 21-15-9 reps for time of: 45 reps total for each. I use a 24kg (56lb) kettlebell. Looks simple, right? It is. It also looks pretty easy. Easy – NOT! If you think it’s easy, try it sometime and let me know how it works out for ya… It took me 10:12 [...] Am I sore from yesterday's workout!! All those pullups and situps and squats and pushups!! It's enough to make me want to go back to step aerobics class!! This morning's workout was no easier. There is no name for it. Maybe I'll call it, "Near Death Experience, 9/25/08." Warmup (same as yesterday): Workout of the day: Used a 26# KB as I only had 4 hours of sleep and was still very sore from yesterday's workout.

Pullups right now are particularly challenging because my arms and back are sore from last week's lifting. But I keep pushing on. Why? Because of CrossFit, I am in the best physical shape of my life. CrossFit pushes both my physical and mental limits of what I think I can accomplish. And this crosses over into the rest of my life. If I can do CrossFit, what else can I do that maybe I thought I couldn't do before? And now, on to Barbara!! This morning's workout was easier said than done, of course. First, warmups: WOD: My time: Sounds easy, doesn't it? The pullups are always hard for me for some reason. My arms feel like they are about to fall off!! You've got to see this one: Continue reading Workout of the Day – September 16, 2008 |
