Day 2 - Crossfit



I was moody as heck yesterday. Why? Not completely sure but I do know when I finished with my Crossfit workout I was all smiles. What is CrossFit ?
"CrossFit is an evidence based strength and conditioning program built on consistently varied, if not randomized, functional movements executed at high intensity. It was developed to enhance every individual’s competency at all physical tasks. CrossFit started in Santa Cruz and is now an international fitness program with over 450 affiliates worldwide."

But words don't do it justice. Below is the workout I did yesterday and no I am not in it. Also note, most of the women in this video are all mothers in their late 30s-40s. I am one of the few youngin's in the bunch. When I first started at Crossfit I totally didn't feel I belonged, there but they are very welcoming to all types and now I feel fine working out next to women with 8-pack abs. In fact I admire them more than any super skinny-weak looking girls. My body will never be waif like, but I can be strong. So, for motivation, I want to be around women who worked hard to get strong. Also note, I could not do the pull-ups like they are in the video, not strong enough, but I did modified box jumps that get your heart going. I was so proud of myself that I could do all the weights. Nothing makes you feel like you kick ass like lifting these weights.
