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

Pull Ups
Do one pull up the first minute, 2 pull ups the second minute, 3 pull ups the third minute, and so on until you can no longer complete the required pull ups.  

9 the first round and 8 the second round using a gray assistance band.


I am finding that pull ups are really the only thing that I cannot do, and it is really frustrating.  I do all the other parts of CrossFit relatively well but struggle with pull ups.  I know that when I can do an unassisted full body weight pull up, I will have really accomplished something great. One day I would like the numbers in this workout to be in the 30's.  I think that next time pull ups come up in a workout I will use a band that has a lower resistance, that way I can work on building my arm and shoulder strength a little quicker.
