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.
    (Just to name a few...)

W.O.D 4/8/09

"Fight Gone Bad"

3 rounds of:

1 min row (number of calories)
1 min wall balls /20 lbs (# of reps)
1 min sumo dead lift high pull/75 lbs (# of reps)
1 min box jumps/ 20" (# of reps)
1 min push press/75 lbs (# of reps)
1 min rest

Total score of all reps for all three rounds: 168

This workout is my favorite so far.  The reason that I think I like this one so much is that it plays to my strengths.  I got the most number of reps on the push press and wall balls (surprised? me too!).  I have good strength and this workout has a lot to do with that.  I will be able to get a higher score when I improve on my endurance.
