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.

"Chelsea"

One round per minute for 30 minutes of:

5 Pull Ups ( Jumping for me)

10 Push Ups

15 Squats

2 rounds on the minute and 11 additional rounds in the 30 minute time limit.


This workout is a lot like "Cindy" that I did on Wednesday except that you are doing if for 10 minutes longer and the goal is to complete each round in one minute and see how long you can do that for. Once you are unable to complete the round in a minute you continue on with the rounds until time runs out. You are scored on how many rounds you were able to do in the one minute time and then how many rounds you completed total. Today was fun because my sister Megan, her husband Shawn and my brother Michael all did the same workout. It is really nice to have the extra support when you feel like you just can't do one more squat!!
