Good morning beauties!
Yesterday's CrossFit workout was AWFUL!! I don't even want to write it down.
I'm such a baby sometimes. Okay, okay...here it is.
Warm Up: 2 Rounds of - crab walk down; 20 stripper; crab walk back;
20 arm hauler
Skill: 30 Wall Balls, rest 1 minute, 20 wall balls, rest 1 minute, 10 wall balls
WOD (For Time): 20 thrusters; 20 power cleans; 20 Shoulder To Overhead; 20 Overhead Squats; 20 front squat - EVERY MINUTE ON THE MINUTE 5 burpees. I think this took me about 15 minutes, maybe longer. I truly don't remember. I think I started to zone out. It was awful, awful, awful. I started with a 45# barbell and dropped to 35#. Truly my form wasn't so great on the last 10 front squats, so now I feel like I cheated. I hate that feeling. It wasn't intentional cheating, though! It was more like pure exhaustion...finish or die (i'm only being slightly dramatic this morning, lol).
Wendy: Excellent workout yesterday! I couldn't remember for the life of me what a goblet squat was, but don't worry, I googled it. Does it work the muscles differently then say a regular squat using 2 dumbbells or a barbell?

Hi Ladies.
I slept like poop last night so no work out for me this morning. Got extra shut eye instead. Might be a blessing in disguise too as my my legs n azz are soooooooo SORE from y'day's work out!!!!Cowabunga!
So after having such great will power and not ordering P90X3, I caved on another ALMOST as pricey program! Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis: Abcentric.
Katie:: Goblet squats are good for teaching proper squatting form b/c they set you up in a position that is less likely to result in injury. It also gives you a target so to speak for squatting depth - getting your elbows to meet your knees with good form. It also places the weight at the chest which is a much more stable position for the body then having the weight on your back or even up by your shoulders. This is helpful for people with a weak core who might risk tipping over at the bottom of a squat otherwise. HTH. Okay now will you PLEASE explain your striptease acts at Cross Fit!?! (STRIPPER exercise!?) Sounds like a brutal WOD. Don't feel bad for not acing it. Just do better next time! I know that you can! I only have one more TT work out left until I move on to something new. I was going to do Drop Two Sizes but now that I have a new system on the way IDK what I want to do! WAAAHHHHH! LMAO at you wanting to be Thor's wife! I personally would love to be Ironman's wife! LOL re your niece and nephew ice skating. We took Joey ice skating when he was probably 5 or 6 and he cried the entire time. He was petrified! He never fell b/c he wouldn't let go! LOL This time he took his lumps like a man the first time we went and the second time he did soooo much better! Now he wants a pair of ice skates of his own for his Birthday!
Wiggie:: You've been doing some great work outs! Thankfully the sickness passed after just one day. Whew!

Hello!!
This morning I went on a 2 mile run on that blasted treadmill. Hate that thing. I followed up with 10 minutes of core conditioning and a foam roller stretch.
Yesterday's CrossFit workout went like this:
Warm-up:
1min jump rope
15 side leg swing
15 samson
15 stripper
15 figure 8's
15 hip bridge
15pass through
Skill: Snatch (35#), EMOMx15
first 5 min: 4 snatches
second 5 mins: 2 power snatches + 2 touch-and-go (tng) snatches
final 5 min: 4 tng snatches
WOD: Tabata (4 minutes per exercise 10x20)
Toes to Bar
Box Jumps
Row for cals
Shoulder to Overhead (35#)
Wendy: So was yesterday's TT workout your last one?? If so, congrats on finishing!! I'm so incredibly impressed that you got it done last night after a bad night of sleep. I can't seem to do anything when sleep eludes me. I LOL at your post re: purchasing a new workout system. We are all workout addicts for sure. Make sure to post your reviews of the program! Normally I'd go check it out but i'm tryingggggg to be good and not purchase anything new until I get back from Ukraine. OH! I forgot to explain the CrossFit stripper stretch. Okay, stand straight up and then bend into a squat position and put your hands on the top of your feet. Your weight is a little more forward than it would be in a squat and your elbows are on the inside of your legs/knees. Now, keeping your hands on your feet, straighten and bend your legs. Each straighten/bend is a rep. It is similar to a forward bend in yoga except instead of holding the stretch you are straightening and bending your legs. There's a mother/daughter duo that attend my CrossFit class and when day I heard the mother accuse of the daughter of not doing her "strippers". Of course I cracked up.

Hey Ladies.
Another not so great night last night so I slept in which means no work outs for me. Can't do it later either - work calls!
So I am impatiently waiting for my TA workouts to arrive! In the meantime I am agonizing over weather or not I should try to add in some weight training circuits to the rotation or not. I probably wouldn't worry so much if I hadn't just laid off the weights for a month with TT and then crippled myself with weights when I finally used them the other day! Thing is, I don't want to interfere with the results of TA so I'm not sure what I should do....
Katie:: Nice work outs! Yes, that was my last TT work out. I didn't finish the rotation as it's 3 months long but I stuck with it for a month which is good for me and makes me happy. The stripper stretch is similar to something called a Toe Touch Squat that we do at the Studio! That's a funny story re the mother n daughter! LOL I will definitely keep y'all posted on my TA work outs once I start them!

Hola mi Amigas!!
My workouts went like this:
Sat: Strong Push
Sun: Fire 30(me & DD)
Mon: Ignite(Firm)
Tue: Total Synergistics
Wed: Agility X & X3 Yoga
Thu: No workout, working tonight
Wendy:I wish I could skate, looks like a lot of fun. Skaters always have very nice legs. Congrats on finishing TT. Very proud of you, sticking with it despite temptation. If only I would follow your example. I do goblet squats often but without weight. They are supposed To promote flexibility in the hips. So you ordered Abcentric, I’ve never been tempted by that system. I would have to order Hipcentric if I were. Very interested in your results.
.
Katie: I give P90X3 two thumbs up!! There are plenty of moves in it that I’ve never done before. You & Wendy are more hardcore than I am & have probably seen & done them before. Sorry about CrossFit, you were just having an off day. I think an 11 minute mile is great!!

TGIF!!
Today's is my rest day, so no workout for me. Yesterday's CrossFit workout was an interesting one. After the normal-type warm-up we worked on rope climbs. I've never attempted to climb a rope before. It took me several tries to figure it out, but I did it! All the way to the top. I was (and still am) so proud of myself. And then I climbed that stupid rope 5 more times during the actual WOD. I've got the rope burn on my hands and shins to prove it. Yesterday's WOD was actually relatively easy compared to all the crazy stuff we've been doing this week. WOD: 2000m row, 80 situps, 60 walking lunges, 40 pushups, and 5 rope climbs. It took me about 23 minutes to complete.
Wiggie: So glad to hear you're enjoying your new P90x3 workouts!! Maybe i'll just venture over to Google and see what P90x3 is all about. I highly doubt i'm more hardcore than you...I've never done TWO Cathe workouts in one day before.
Wendy: Have you thought about seeing a doctor about your sleep issues? Maybe there is something you can do/take that might help. Hmmm, you know i'm a strong advocate for weight training, so I vote yes to adding in some weight circuits. If anything, maybe wait and preview the TA workouts. Then you can make a more informed decision about adding additional weight circuits.
