Meet Barbara AKA CrossFit 1A1

Well here it is, my first Crossfit class complete!

The coaches were way kind to the newbies and only made us do "Barbara" 3x. For the regulars it was 5x.

Barbara is as follows...

BARBARA


20 Pullups//box assisted for me
30 Pushups//set two and three off the knees
40 Situps//this is my kryptonite (completed but pulling up on my legs)
50 Squats


Time: 26:35

Barabara is not kind but I got through it. My real weakness was the sit-ups. The push-ups were hard but they are already improving. Just two months ago, one was not possible, so I think getting 30 in a row with a rest between sets of ten are an accomplishment in itself. And remarkably, I am not that sore today, but tomorrow is another day!!

Bring on the rest of the ladies!!(I think)

CrossFit 1A1

Just a quick post. As many of you know I have started CrossFit approximately three weeks ago. This is the beginning of full week 3, and during that time I have only attended Olympic Weight Lifting Classes (2) and Kettle Bell classes (6).

Tonight I am going to attend my first actual CrossFit class, and I am excited to say the least.

If anyone saw my last post the Domino Effect, it is my wish that this goes much smoother than that night. I will make sure to wear the right pants!

If I make it through the class (from observation it won't be easy), I will write an update.

Wish me luck!
