Crossfit Workout

Thanks to Bren... ugh...

We did a crossfit benchmark in this morning's conditioning class. The workout consisted of the following:

• 75 Side to side medicine ball swings
• 75 Dips on a bench
• 75 Pushups
• 75 Sit ups with ankle slaps
• 75 Squats

The goal was to finish all of the above in 20 minutes or less doing everything with the best form possible. Initially the reps were set at 100, but Bren lowered the number due to moans and groans from the class.

Personally, I think 100 would have been way more challenging. Not to say that 75 is not hard, but I think 100 would have put me closer to 20 minutes. Anyway... here are my times:

My times were:

• Medicine ball swings: 2:20
• Dips: 1:30
• Pushups: 3:17 - I had to drop to my knees here as I started failing out at 50.
• Sit ups: 4:08 - by far the longest for me. These were really hard for some reason. I guess I need to so more sit ups instead of crunches.
• Squats: 1:49

Total time (rounded milliseconds): 13:06 (2nd in the class, I am sure 3rd if Bren were working out)

We've got a really busy weekend lined up. Here's the brief to-do:

Saturday:

• Morning KF.
• Afternoon KF seminars (candle training and mantis form).
• Victoria photo shoot.
• Jim Gaffigan 7pm @ The Paramount.

Sunday:

• Not sure here, but I am assuming we will work more on Christmas preparations i.e. mailing out cards and finishing up shopping for the extended family.

I can't freaking wait for my vacation time the week after next.
