Little home WOD

This morning, I didn't go for a run but did a little WOD at home, for time.

I did:

50 (knee) push-ups
50 sit-ups
50 Russian kettle bell swings (watch out for the ceiling)
50 air squats

I finished in 14:05 and I'll try to beat that time next week!

Morning run with my mom!

Today I went for another morning run but this time not with my boyfriend but with my mom. She is actually in a much better shape than I am and runs 10 km on a regular base.

I ran almost one 1 kilometer more than yesterday so that is a personal win. However, I have to admit, my mother was setting the pace otherwise I would have run a lot slower since my muscles were aching from yesterday.




We ran uphill around the second kilometer so the pace dropped a bit. All in all, I ran 5 seconds per km faster than yesterday. After the run, I did 50 air squats to finish this day's workout.

Let's see what tomorrow brings!

First morning run... ever!

In 4 weeks the summer holiday begins and that is officially the beginning of bikini season... so it's time to pick up the pace and push my workouts to the next level.

From today onwards I will workout every day in some way, either at home, at the box or on the road. In combination with the paleo diet I should have some results by the end of June.

Since my work schedule is already pretty full I am creating a new time slot in the morning before work.

Today was day 1 and we went for a morning run. It had been six months since my last run so it was definitely an experiment but it went just fine.

We ran 3,5 km (2.18 miles) in 24 minutes. Not that fast but a great start!!

Another kind of filthy fifty

Yesterday's workout was tough, especially since I didn't go to the box for almost a month. Too busy working late nights. A common excuse, I know.

Warm-up:

1 RM shoulder press: new PR 70 lbs (previous March PR 55 lbs)


WOD

For time:
50 Push Press (95/65)
50 Pull-ups
50 Toes to bar
50 Walking lunges
50 Burpees
50  Slamballs (40/20)

Scaled:

PP 40, ring rows, knee raises, slamballs (4 kg--> wrist injury)

It was tough and hot outside but I managed to finish in 24:51 (time cap was 25 min).

First RX!

Today was a good day! My first RX work-out! Probably one that many could RX but still, my first RX! :)

Warm-up: medicine ball mile run
Technique: 2x800m (100% - 110% effort)

WOD
3 rounds for time:
- 400m run
- 15 slamballs (20 lbs)
- 10 goblet squats (35 lbs)

Finished in 12:01

Jeej, first RX :)

Diane

Yesterday we did Diane at the box. First 'girl' I have ever done!

The class started with 8x2 deadlifts (75% max). Followed by 100 'hammies' (auch).

WOD: Diane
21-15-9
deadlifts (125)
handstand push-ups (scaled to knee push-ups x2)

Time: 11:09

Although I did knee push-ups, I was happy that I finished in a little over 11 minutes. Before I started CrossFit, I couldn't lift a pan of the stove, my wrists just wouldn't support it. Being able to do 90 knee push-ups = a success!

Listen to: Therapy - Diane :)

Off-day at the box

Yesterday was most definitely an off-day. It was the Belgian Labour Day but to be honest, I was so exhausted that I couldn't work and on top of that I ate something my body didn't like at all.

Nonetheless did I go to the box, it was one of the only days I could go this week, and joined the WOD.

The warm-up consisted out of 5x8 Front Squats (75) and weighted walking lunges (20 pound dumbbells). 

WOD: 

120 sit-ups

60 walking lunges

30 front squats (65)

15 dumbbell thrusters (20)

It took me almost 10 minutes to do the 120 sit-ups (auch) and I finished at 18:09. Not a good day...
