Cross Fit (Part 2)

Today I didn't have to work at the casino, so when I got off from work at 4pm from Escada I decided to hit the Cross Fit Gym. I was excited to hit that gym since they really work you out of your mind. During the workouts you are dying, but you keep pushing yourself as our trainers are there pushing you along the workout.

We started off with the rowing cardio machine with a nice and steady run of 100meters. We then went on with the pole exercises which consist of hold a pole in front of you with your elbows locked and slowly raise it over your head, moving it behind you (without unlocking your arms) and continue till it hits your butt and bring it back over your head in front of you. Then we did good mornings with the pole, and squats with the pole being held over our head at all times (helping with our form). We did mountain climbers, with burpees, and jumping jacks

Today's main workout consisted of pull ups, push ups, and squats. The pull ups aren't the traditional pull ups, but ones that you swing a little and kick up into a pull up. Our trainers gave us 10 minutes to do as many sets as we could doing 5 pull ups into 10 push ups, and finishing it with 15 squats. They wanted us to do at least 5 sets of that within the 10 minutes they gave us. Surprisingly, I finished 10 sets in 10 minutes. The only junk thing was that during our practicing of the pull ups, my hands gotten a beating and impeded me from doing the actually hanging pull up, instead I had to stand on a box and swing and kick up into a pull up. The work out was great and I can't wait to hit the Cross Fit Gym tomorrow morning. Here's a few pictures of the beating my hands took.
