Crossfit has always interested me! I think it's right up my alley! The only reason I haven't joined is because of the cost. It's not cheap, by any means. Well, Jocelyn joined a crossfit gym near her house. She said I could get a 3 day trial of it for free. I keep meaning to go but, it just hasn't happened. It finally did though, on Thursday. I got up at 4:40am because the class starts at 5:25/5:30. I have to drive out to the DMV, which is in Hurricane.
I got there and it was "Active Rest Day". Which, if you think about it, is an oxymoron! So, first we did some stretching and used the roller ball to loosen up our muscles. Then, we laid on our backs, with our hands under our butt and did leg raises to the song "Bring Sally Up". Every time the song said "Bring Sally Up", we raised our legs. Whenever the song said, "Bring Sally Down" we put our legs back down. Man, that got tiring after a while! So, that was our warm-up workout.
Then came the active part of the workout. It went like this:
- Run 400 meters (1/4 of a mile)
- 150 jump ropes
- 50 sit-ups
- Run 400 meters
- 120 jump ropes
- 40 sit-ups
- Run 400 meters
- 90 jump ropes
- 30 sit-ups
- Run 400 meters
- 60 jump ropes
- 20 sit-ups
- run 400 meters
- 30 jump ropes
- 10 sit-ups
So, that ended up being 1 1/4 mile run, 450 jump ropes, and 150 sit-ups. It was a HECK of a workout but, felt SO GOOD! I was wobbly all day long after that! I woke up this morning with extremely sore abs (especially directly under my rib cage) and sore calves! I haven't been this sore in a long time.
Jocelyn is going out of town for a conference. So, when she gets back, I plan to go back again. Right now I'm still so unsure of myself and don't know people enough to go alone.
