Holy Heart Rate!

Tonight had our hearts pumping to the max! The warm-up and the WOD were VERY intense tonight! It was non-stop for the entire hour. With no strength workout (Olympic lifting), Bill gave us a non-stop, insane warm-up and WOD! 

The warm-up...

This took us about 20 minutes and by the end, we were dead! I felt the same way I feel after an entire night at Crossfit and this was only the first 20 minutes annnndddd it was the warm-up! Really Bill??!! (I sound like I'm complaining but we all know We loved every second of this workout!) 

The rowing wasn't too bad at first, because 350 meters is way easier than 500 meters (which is what we usually do); however, the wall climbs, goblet squats (26lb kettle bell), and jump rope wiped us out because we did these without stopping. Then, we had to go right into rowing again.. This is not an easy task, there is just NO time to catch your breath!

Tonight's WOD: 

25 minute workout?!!! We haven't done one of these in a very long time. Our Crossfit workouts range from 7-15 minutes, not 25. Seeing this was a "WOW" and a "Holy Crap" moment... 

The double unders are still not mastered so we decided to do singles so we weren't wasting time on doubles. If we do singles, Bill makes us do triple the amount; therefore, 105 singles it was :0

The sit-ups although difficult after a while, are actually the only time you get to catch your breath. With every sit-up, it's a deep breath in and a deep breath out.. Have to catch our breaths before the shoulder to overheads. 

For the overhead presses, I used 45 pounds and Mom used 35 pounds. At first, these were cake, but after the 2nd round, I had a hard time doing 15 in a row. I split them up into sets of 7 and 8 and then 3 sets of 5. My shoulders were on fire. After these, my heart rate was pumping and I was so out of breath, but it's right into the jumping rope! Like I said, those sit-ups are the only times we had to catch our breaths. 

All in all, this workout was awesome! It was such an endurance and strength workout. I will be in so much pain tomorrow! Abs, shoulders, and calves will be screaming! Thanks Bill!!! The best part of tonight is that me and mom were the only two in the 6:30 class, it feels like we have our own personal trainer lol love it!
