ok so my husband and i decided that instead of renewing our current gym membership that we rarely use..we are going to pay more money to be tortured at CROSSFIT
it is hard..we went to a "orientation class" that did a base line work out..i thought i was going to die..but i finished. Then if you are still interested you do 3 personal training sessions to go over the basic moves that they do...and so he can see where you are at physically (remember i am fat girl) so those were not so bad..kind of easy..so now i am pumped and really want to get started..these are doing things i always wanted to do..like pull up, and push ups, and tire flips (watch the later episopes of biggest loser to get an idea of what they do if you do not go to the website) but just going to a gym and walking a treadmill is not going to build up the strength to do this..and i have NO upper body strength.
So TODAY was the 1st class..OH MY GOD! i think Crack would be easier..here is how it goes..
you get there and you do either a)500 meter row machine, B) 400 meter run, or C) 300 jump ropes..i did the Row in 3 minutes..then there are some stretches, then 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 squates, 10 lunges, 10 pull ups, 10 dips, 10 of this one machineand i think that is it..then you staet the work out of the day..Today was 15 over head squates (hell) i cant do these with weights..i had to use a PVC pipe...2 times as fast as possible..then 15 clean hang (type of lift with weights) 2 times mine was 21 pounds. THEN came the work out....
Ready..
200 meter run with 30 pound sandbag (i used an 8 pound ball..held straight over head) , 25 pushups and 15 cleans....3 times..as fast as possible..i did it in 17 minutes..i thought i was going to die!!!!
Wednesday is going to suck..
not bad for a fat girl.
