Well, i did not do any of the insanity workouts… yet. the biggest problem i have with those flavor of workouts is that i just do not like working out in my own living room… i tend to sweat a lot and i’m not a fan of sweating on my carpet where i play with my son and (very rarely) ‘veg-out’ on the couch. i’ve got plans for my permahouse that will either incorporate a separate room as a workout facility (to start) and eventually reserve a portion of an out building (pole barn-esque) reserved for our equipment and training area. until then… i guess i’ll just have to 1) stay fat (not a likely option) 2) suck it up (perhaps) or 3) find a way to get the workouts in elsewhere. ya know i do have that fitness center…
NEway, on to todays WoD:
Complete 8 rounds of:
Sprint 200 meters
*Rest 2:1 (rest:work) between rounds
My Results:
38s, 39s, 41s, 40s, 44s, 44s, 43s, 40s
a not complex WoD today and i’m already feeling it in my calves – seems to be the case when i do some extensive running. while i didn’t pass out or collapse afterward, i definitely took my time to recover (1 walking lap 200m and one jogging lap). kinda sad, really. next time this workout comes around, i’d like to see all 8 under 40s – i think that’s an attainable goal.
it’s time to get back into the swing of things – after a much too long break (partly due to Pheasant Fest and the recovery week thereafter). i’m going to get back into the CrossFit Football or CrossFit workouts 3 mornings a week and i’m toying with the idea of starting Insanity tonight as well… i’ve obtained the workout disks and currently, i have some motivation (might or might not be due to the bday today), we’ll see. i’ll update the post if i get the fit test in tonight.
So on to the WoD – for some reason my phone was unable to load the CFFB site this morning, so i ventured to the CF site and today was a rest day… so Sunday’s workout was:
“Helen”
Three rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 55 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups
My result:
15:40
i stopped the clock when jogging from the upstairs track until i got back into the weight room and i did the 55lb dumbbell swings. running sucks and so do pullups. i was extremely disappointed in my 400m times, but that’ s what happens when running/endurance is severely lacking in a workout. definitely room for improvement.
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again (and i’m sure i’ll say it some time in the future as well): pullups are the suk!
Today’s WoD:
5 rounds for time:
Sprint 100 yards
6 Right Arm KB Power Snatch 2 Pood (substituted 75lb DB)
6 Left Arm KB Power Snatch 2 Pood (substituted 75lb DB)
12 Pull Ups
My Results:
22:37
sprints weren’t much of sprints and pullups again, killed my time. first day back after a week off due to travels and i felt like i hadn’t worked out in a month! felt good to get back into the swing of things, though.
after the workout, got some agility ladder in, but didn’t have time to get much else in – traffic was ridiculous this morning…
