Good news people-I am now employed and will not become homeless/starve to death!!! That is an amazing thing in this economy when so many are struggling.

Today is the amazing day of CrossFit! Get pumped because there's a timer involved. And whenever there's a timer you know its going to be a good one.

Maximum rounds in 20 minutes:
Burpees (5)
Pushups (10)
Situps (15)
Squats (20)

If it takes 2 seconds/exercise, you should be able to do about 11 rounds. And some of those exercises shouldn't take 2 seconds to do. So at minimum that's 55 burpees, 110 pushups, 165 situps, and 220 squats. No big deal.

Then we have the cardio portion. Note, I find when I do heavy ab workout immediately followed by cardio I get very bad ab muscle cramps. So I would give myself a good break on this one.

Cardio (20 sec break between sprints):
1 mile run
20 yard sprint + 60 jumprope
20 yard sprint + 10 burpees
20 yard sprint + 20 mountain climbers
20 yard sprint + 20 side to side line jumps
20 yard sprint + 20 jumping jacks
20 yard sprint
1 mile run

Not So Fun Friday

"Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way."-Satchel Paige

Talk about a rough day. I feel like it's a giant cosmic joke that Fridays are one of the hardest days of the week. The roomie kept me up all night talking on the phone, had an early job interview, a good friend with boy troubles, and now CROSSFIT??? What the heck was I thinking? My brain was probably doing one of these "rent money, rent money, want sexy bod, sexy bod, chocolate bar, wine...nap."

Crossfit Friday

"You want me to do something...tell me I can't do it."-Maya Angelou

This quote completely goes with my personality to a fault. This is literally the best way to get me to do anything, sometimes to the point of dangerous. This is what I visualize:

Anyways, figured I'd spice it up with a little modified Crossfit workout. I love Crossfit because it goes with my give it all mentality. I know there's a bit of controversy about Crossfit as a program, but there are pros and cons with every exercise regime. So on to the workout!
