   First of all, thank you, Kermit! She created her own rendition of the below workout for CrossFit Vancouver. The workout is done the same way that the song is sung. You complete the first exercise, then move on to the 2nd, then back to the first, etc etc

   Well today’s workout of the day was a beauty! Diane is no princess. The workout sounds simple enough, but its a grinder through and through from start to finish.

7. The “Crossfit Total”: Workout of the Day posted December 11, 2008
   

   Today was the big man friendly workout. The workout is scored by adding your total weight lifted for 1 rep maxes for dead lift, standing shoulder press and back squats. The only rules are that you must complete your 1 rep maxes for all the exercises within 40 minutes; and, you’re only allowed 3 failures per exercise then you have to call it quits.

   Needless to say but today’s crossfit workout was less than fun. But the best thing about it was when I finished it. There is an odd sense of accomplishment gained when you persevere through a grueling workout.
9. Row, row, row a boat (or a Concept 2 rower) posted December 8, 2008
   

   Rowing is one of the (if not) best compound exercises you can do to improve and maintain your cardiovascular fitness. I’ve been incorporating rowing into my Crossfit workouts and it has been doing wonders for my endurance.

    The Murph is a crossfit milestone as far as workouts of the day are concerned. This staple workout is one of the toughest and most grueling workouts I’ve had the pleasure of doing in my short tenure at Crossfit.
