So I just got back from my third Cross Fit class. Actually, the classes are called Foundation (it's the beginning class that you have to take about 6 times before you move onto the intermediate class which is called Cross Fit). Today we started off with the rowing cardio machine and did it for 200 meters, ran 100 meters, and did 100 skips with a jump rope. Got back on the rowing machine for another 100 meters, run 100 meters, and finsh with 50 skips.
Like always we did out pole stretches and got into practicing out forms for our workout for today. To make sure our forms were correct, we had to do squats in front of a pillar with no weight. Then we practiced doing front squats with a light plastic pole, followed by the overhead squat. After we practiced our form, we started our workout: 5 push ups, 10 sits, 15 squats. We had to do 6 sets of this. The first two which consisted of us doing just body weight squats, the next two sets consisted of doing front squats with a barbell, and the last two sets...overhead squats with the barbell. The push ups and sit ups were a breeze for me, but when I got to the front and overhead squats I started to hurt. I finished in a time of 7 minutes and 20 seconds.
Since we finished out workout early, we went on doing dead lifts with medicine balls, which then turned into doing medicine ball clean and push jerks. The way Zach and Joe made it look, I thought it was such an easy thing to do. Boy was I wrong!!! It's all about form in these beginning classes to prepare you for the intermediate class.
We'll see if I can make class on Saturday. I wanna keep up with this Cross Fit classes...it's a great workout program and the trainers, Zach and Joe push you which at times I need that.
