Box Jumps :O

Oh Saturday! How we love Saturday workouts! They are always so tough but are such incredible strength and conditioning workouts. Today, Arty (the other main owner of Crossfit856) ran this workout. He gave us an awesome workout.; however, I must say that after one month of Crossfit, these workouts still leave me standing ready to throw my guts up. Today was actually the first time in 3 weeks that a workout made me want to throw up. The reason???? Welll, the WOD was as follows:

5 Rounds for Reps
1 minute of box Jumps
1 minute of V-ups
1 minute of rowing (calories)
1 minute of rest

That one minute of rest was NOT long enough! I was fine all the way up until the 5th round. I tried to really push myself and after 21 box jumps, had to stop moving because I was about a second away from throwing up. I took about 5 deep breaths and then got right into the V-Ups.  Those 3 minutes of box jumps, v-ups, and rows are so intense because you don't get a second to stop. It's so hard to keep your body moving on these tough workouts for 3 minutes straight! Not only that, but then doing it for 5 rounds with only a minute in between each round (which really feels like 10 seconds).

Anyway, this workout really kicked the crap out of us considering the night before was enough to knock us out of commission for a few days. .. Before the WOD, we learned how to do ring push ups... These were really difficult and we were even doing the easy way out, which was to lean on our knees instead of in a regular push up stance.  We had to do 5 sets of 5 and even that was a struggle!  After the ring push ups, we got right into the workout.

Results of WOD
Total Reps in 5 rounds:
Alyssa: 259
Mom: 227

Wow that's a lot of reps! Go us! On comes the pain! In fact, I can't even lift my arms right now lol.. Tomorrow will be the worst! Love that sore muscle pain! My life wouldn't be the same without it!!!

Thanks Arty for a great workout! Now were going to be in pain for the next several days! Today was an amazing day!!!! (Not just because of a great CrossFit workout, but because I got my wedding dress!!!)  One more reason why I need a killer, strong, lean, cut body!!!
