Introduction

I was first introduced to CrossFit by my good friend and co-worker Sherri.  She told me about this great workout program she had just started and how much she really liked it and she thought that I would also really like it.  Sherri introduced me to Jens Lovell who is also a co-worker of ours and a certified CrossFit trainer and owner of CrossFit St. George.  They both encouraged me to go that day and workout with them.  That was February 7, 2009 and I have not looked back since.  After getting my butt kicked that day on a workout called "The Baseline" I knew I was hooked.  CrossFit workouts are challenging, difficult, and sometimes vomit inducing but above all that they are fun and each time they leave you with a huge sense of accomplishment.  I know now that CrossFit is not just a workout, its a way of life and now its my way of life.  So follow along with me as I change my life for the better, as I become a stronger, healthier me.  I will blog about the workouts that I do each day and also my successes and failures.  

My CrossFit Goals

1. Lose 60 pounds, and or get down to 20-22% body fat.
2. Compete in the 2010 CrossFit games.
3. Become a certified CrossFit trainer.
4. Introduce my family and friends to the CrossFit lifestyle.

W.O.D. 3/24/09

For time:

5 rounds of:

25 Bow Jumps
25 Knees to Elbows

34:_ _

This workout was not quite as demanding on my lungs and most of the other workouts are, I think that I should have pushed myself a lot harder.  I think that my time confirms that.  Knees to elbows is when you hang from the pull up bar and raise you knees up to your elbows.  I got my knees about half way :(  I was able to get my hips turned over, which according to Jens is the most important part.  So its just up from there, literally!  I was surprised at how well I can get the box jumps done now.  I am able to to 10+ jumps in a row and spring up from my toes rather than try and do it flat footed.  This was another first workout for me so I don't have a time to compare it with so next time I'll know what the time to beat is.
