Crossfit Life: Progress is Awesome!

Just a short post about the progress we have noticed tonight....

We decided to do some weights and machines at planet fitness tonight before our interval workout on the treadmill to see how far we have come.

I must say, it is SO freaking awesome seeing how strong we have become!!! For instance, here are some machines we used tonight with the weight we use to be able to do and the weight we can lift now.

Before Tonight

Leg press 90lbs 180lbs

Lat pull downs 35lbs 60lbs

Smith Machine 20lbs 70lbs

Fly machine 30lbs 60lbs

We could probably go higher on each one of these machines, we just guessed a weight to use and did it.

Basically, we either doubled or more than doubled our weight on all machines. So incredible.

Tonight on treadmills, we did 30 minutes...ran at 6.3 for a minute and then walked at 4.1 for a minute. Did this back and forth for the entire time. This was a nice steady workout and the highest we got our heart rates was 178ish. Very impressive because in the past, this type of running would put our hearts at 185-190. Therefore, it is easy to see how strong our hearts have become.

Here are some before and after pictures of us on the smith machine. About 4 months apart. So funny.
