Yesternight’s Workout:

 

Just Boyo and me:

x4

10 seated straddle leg-lifts
10 head-touch pushups (absurdly difficult!)
200m run
30 squats with 20# KB, passed back and forth
30 sec. L-hold from bar
30 sec. star hold L/R, plank, reverse plank

 

Poor Boyo.
He had the distinct disadvantage of coming to workout with me
after I was yelled at by a co-worker.
I kinda take those things out through exercise,
so this was a brutal workout.

He might hate me forever for those straddle-lifts.

 

ps (Straddle lifts: “Sit in a straddle position, then lean forward slightly and place your hands on the floor. Lift your legs up and back as far as possible. The farther forward your hands are placed, the more difficult the exercise will be.”)

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x5

10 knees to elbows
10 butt swishes, each leg
10 KB Thrusts, rotated with planks
(I also did handstands)
10 spiderman pushups

(Titus and Staci joined us tonight! Fresh meat! Fresh meat!)

(I finished with five pullups and a 35 second handstand.)

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x4

5 squat throughs, each leg (like a pistol, but when you come up,
you extend your leg behind you without resting your foot at any time — OWWW)
15 burpees
10 leg levers
400m hill run
10 butt swishes (on all fours, extend and flex leg out to the side,
parallel with your hips, then thrust it straight back and into the air as high as possible)

 

Ooh, I’ve got some sore buttcheeks today,
lemmetellyouwhat.

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x5

10 slow leg lifts
10 burpees
20 squats
1 min plank-to-pushup position
(I don’t really know how to describe this one…)
10 tuck-ups
100m sprint

 

It was good to know that I really and truly pushed
myself as hard as I could on this one.

We all made it through all five rounds, too!
Yay!!!

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x3

10 Spiderman pushups
20 Bench jumps
20 Halos
10 Superman lifts
10 Slow knee-hang situps
200m Run

Not much to say about this one–
pretty good,
decent in terms of being challenging.

 

I still feel guilty if I’m not completely thrashed by the end of a workout.

*sigh*

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

Had a tweaked back for the last couple of days,
so I decided this was a good time for the slooooow workout–
concentrating on control and strength instead of power and speed.

X3

10 toes to bar (focusing on 90 degree arm bend, and controlled leg lowering)
1 min plank to pushup to plank
1 min reverse plank
10 hollow body leg lift and lower (focusing on using abs to raise and lower legs)
10 KB swings (#20), each arm
30 sec plank
30 sec wall sit

 

Laughing hurts today.

So good.

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

Actually, Friday’s workout:

x4

10 tuck-jump burpees
30 sumo squats
20 knees-to-elbows
5 pistols, each leg
30 sec dead hang/1 min plank/1 min reverse plank/30 sec handstand

 

My ass is *still* sore from those pistols!

I’m planning on having a slow workout this week–
not easy, mind you, just slow.
It’ll be awesome and horrible!

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

FINALLY.

x3 (because we all took a week off, and didn’t want to die)

10 star jumps
20 pushups (any style)
30 walking lunges
40 situps (in 10s: leg circles/crunches/v-ups/tuck-ups)
100m sprint

 

Oh, man.
I didn’t think that taking a week off would make such a difference–
but OI.
This was *tough*.
But I was still grinning the whole way through–
it’s good to come back to the Crossfit.

 

(Friend Katie came along for the adventure, too,
which was AWESOME!)

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

x5

30 squats
20 knees to elbows (DEATH)
10 lateral pushups
10 leg circles/halos
100m sprint
10 KB twists, knees bent (20lb)

 

I’m so glad the Boyo and I made it through all five rounds–
the knees to elbows and sprints almost made me puke,
but it’s good to know that I truly pushed my body as hard as I could last night.

Boyo ran to the park last night, 2.5 miles,
and I finished up with four pullups and five KB swings on each arm.

Yesternight’s Workout:

 

200m run

x4

10 bench jump/tuck jump burpees
20 lunges
10-10-10 crunches/situps/v-ups
5 20lb KB snatch, each arm
1 min plank
2 turkish get-ups, each side, 20lb KB
1 min reverse plank
10 squats w/ 20 lb KB
1 min handstand hold

 

Since we only have one kettlebell,
we rotated out planks and using the KB.

Turkish get-ups are impossible sonsuvbeetches,
but I will conquer them.

YES I WILL.

 

Oh,
this is my kettlebell:

She's a pretty little thing.

 

The Boyo got her for me for Valentine’s Day–
he’s so romantic!
