M2G 1,836 Posted October 11, 2013 67.4 miles so far. I'm taking the next 4 days off to rest my body. I started a pretty intense weekly workout schedule 3 weeks ago (weight lifting, spin class, fusion class for a total of 5 classes each week) and I'm definitely needing and looking forward to resting my body a bit this weekend! 5 RoxFC, Meliss000, Butterthebean and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted October 11, 2013 Today will be my 5th day of cross fit in a row and surprisingly my body is not fighting me on it. I feel good. Strong. Healthy. Fast. Supple. My rest days this week will be sat, sun. It kind of encourages me that maybe my body is getting used to this cross fit thing more then 3 days in a few. I hope so! Today is going to be a fun workout session. I will start by warming up with a combination 8 min mile run and a 500 m row (try to pace at 1:50 during warmups). I also want to throw in some 90 second handstands. These are good warm up exercises and get the heart pumping. Then onto what the box prescribes for warming up and mobility work. Oh the mobility. It is constantly on the brain. I got my new speed jump rope yesterday and am going to continue working on the double under skill. Will also work on 24 " rebound box jumps. I am good at regular box jumps, but my hips are not quite flexible enough to transfer power correctly when rebounding. I look silly practicing, but practice makes perfect. For some reason, complex athletic skills elude me. Lol. Not gifted there and have go keep practicing, practicing and practicing. On the minute for 30 minutes, AMRAP (as many rounds as possible): 10 pushups 10 pull ups 10 sit ups I was not thinking this to be too much work until I mentally added it up. Minimum 300 of each! Maybe it won't be too bad spread out over 30 m. I like these metabolic conditioning workouts that involve pure gymnastic work. They do not require the skill work of fast Olympic lifts (e.g. s n a t c h ) in a workout. At this point post op, I am findind myself far better and efficient at running, rowing and gymnastic work rather then the technical lifting skill work. Despite lifting not being my favorite thing because I am not as good at it, I still get in there as much as I can to get better at it. 4 lsu2868, gamergirl, M2G and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsu2868 708 Posted October 12, 2013 4.80 miles walking today between work, walking, mowing the front yard and grabbing some supplies for a clay shooting tournament tomorrow morning. That puts me at 45.14 miles for the month so far. Breaking 55 miles by Sunday night is my goal. I hope the weather cooperates or I will be on the recumbent bike this weekend. That bites. 3 M2G, Butterthebean and Cmt7831 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NancyG 58 Posted October 12, 2013 I'm joining too' date=' will be shocked if I can do 100 but I intend to do whatever I can. My name is Urvashi (rhymes with Hershey). Or you can call me by my Starbucks name which is Gracie, my dogs name. I got tired of spelling Urvashi [/quote'] I thought I was the only person that used their dog's name at restaurants! I am Greer but used to be Sally at Firehouse subs!! 4 gamergirl, Jenni77, lsu2868 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted October 12, 2013 Did not die on my exercise yesterday evening. Yup, still here. Warmup: +2 mile run + 1200 m row Skill: deadlifts @280 sets of 3 for 10 rounds. Work out: 30 minutes (sets of 15 at a time, rotate); Push-ups (10 regular , 5 hand release): 450 24" Box jumps (rebound style): 310 Sit-ups: 450 Around 20 minutes, the burn from pushups and cardio induced labor breathing from box jumps kicked in. Took a good amount of mental fortitude to keep those box jumps going (jump, darn it, jump). Sit-ups were actually a point to recover between those other two stations. There was about 5 sec recovery time between each min round (finished around 54-56 s per round. Did not get all 45 reps every min due to the box jumps, but still did good. Really good solid week of working out and training. Hit it every day. Feel decent, a little sore today. overall, not bad. Now for a couple days of rest over the weekend.
