CrossFit @ School

Today my boyfriend and I did four CrossFit@school sessions for a "Health day". Four groups (24 pupils) did an introduction session. We first told them what CrossFit is, did a general warm-up, some skills exercises and to finish we organised a team WOD (50 push-ups, 50 squats, 50 V-ups, 50 burpees). It was fun !!!

Push press / Wall ball pyramid

After a time-consuming work week it was finally WOD-time again.

On the program:

21-15-9-15-21 Reps for time of:
Push Press (115/75)
Wall ball shots (20/14)

I really do not like wall ball shots, I always drop the ball or get out of breath. For me, they are actually worse than burpees. I would rather do burpees than wall ball shots :)

So after the first round  of 21 repetitions I was gasping for air and thinking that this WOD was going to take a very long time. I lowered my pace and kept on going and surprisingly I recovered. 15 went slow but steady, 9 went great, 15 as well and 21 was a bit of strain.

I finished in 13:05 (push press 55, wall ball 14)

Yeah!

3 days, 4 WODs

I finished 4 WOD's in 3 days... and after the third day it felt great. Now three days of rest. I will need it!

I have been a member of CrossFit Leuven since April 1, 2013 but only recently I have been going more frequently. It took me a while to become a regular CrossFitter but at the moment I am going 3-4 times a week and if I could  (work-wise) I would go every day! 

This blog will track my progression and it will be some kind of online WOD-logbook. Since I am also eating gluten- and dairy-free most of the time, I might post the occasional Paleo recipe.
