Crossfit

I have been trying very hard to find a fitness plan that works for my lifestyle. Since September I have been working hard on a running program so that I could run a 5k last week with some lovely ladies. 



We missed you Courtney!!



Along with running, Allen and I have been doing crossfit routines at the firehall gym. One of the other firefighters is in charge of fitness so he has put up a couple crossfit routines.

Here's one that we tried:

Warm Up:

10 push ups x3

10 sit ups x3

10 pullups x3*

*I cant do pullups yet so I just skip this step. 

10 squads x3

The workout:

7 kettleball swings

7 burpees

7 step ups*

*I can't remember exactly what this was called but basically I step up and off a weight bench.

You have 10 minutes to see how many times you can do this circuit. I recommen blasting some loud, pump up music and just giver on this!!

After trying that crossfit routine, I was itching to find some additional ideas. Through the wonders of pinterest I found this crossfit routine. This link is great for giving a break down week by week to get into shape. I adapted it for me.

Here's what it looked like:

12 forward lunges

10 pushups

10 lunge jumps

10 squats

10 tricep dips

10 burpees

You have 8 minutes to complete this workout.

I think I got through it 2 1/2 times before time was up. Even Allen said his legs were feeling it. I totally recommend trying these workouts or find your own.

*If you aren't sure what all the exercises look like just youtube it :)
