My body doesn’t like me today

Written by "> | posted in Crossfit: My love/hate relationship | 3 Comments

After a couple weeks off, with pneumonia then a family trip to Disneyland, I’m finding I’m struggling to build fitness-momentum for myself.  Time off is great both psychologically and physically.  The body gets a chance to heal itself and replenish all the things that working out depletes and mentally, it has made me realize I really miss my daily WOD’s and the way they make me feel…

… at least that’s what I thought prior to jumping right back into the thralls of Crossfit.  Last night I did a quick little workout to get my heart rate and body back to basic motions.  It consisted of doing 3 rounds of work in as quick a time as possible.  The workout is simple and effective and a great little workout for anyone with minimal equipment requirements (just a medicine ball or pair of dumbbells).

Workout Set was comprised of:

• 10 x Burpies with a push-up
• 20 x Medicine Ball Slams (20 lbs)
• 30 x Medicine Ball Thrusters (20 lbs)
• 40 x Push-ups
• 50 x Ab-mat Sit-ups

Complete 3 rounds and record time to complete.  My time to complete was 14:55.  Give it a rip and let me know how it goes.

Here’s a “how to do a burpie with a push-up” video for your review.   Happy training!
