Thank you both.. I am going today and going with the 10 session punch card and go two times a week and still do my regular workouts at the gym I currently go to.
@Cheri0627 - I've taken the intro class and I'm pretty sure I will like it b/c I used to do a few of these exercises on my own but never in the combination like crossfit. (I am circuit training on my own now but having a group to train with is going to be great!)
@XFitMojoMom - Get well soon and thanks for this thread!0 -
Tues 8/23:
30 minutes of Plyometrics
then
Death by Push-ups (strict)
1 rep in the first minute, 2 rep in the second minute, 3 reps in the third minute, etc. Go until you can't finish the reps for that minute.
I completed 9 reps/minute.0 -
WOD 8/24
Warmup
AMRAP 10
* lunge down
* jump over parallelettes/box jumps back
* side steps down
* 20 situps
* 2 laps
Workout
AMRAP 20
* 5 jumping lunges (per legs)
* 5 leg lifts
* 5 box jumps
* 10 goblet squats (4 rounds with the 16Kg KB, 2 with the 12Kg)
* 5 pushups
* 2 laps
Warmdown
:30/:10 x8
squats, resting in the down position
Lots of little notes today:
* For the first time I realized I can do 20 situps in a row (at a pretty good clip) without a problem
* I'm getting a lot faster at my lunges
* I was trying to do unmodified pushups every round, I did 2 in the first 5 rounds, and 3 in the last round.
* I did have to rest while doing the goblet squats with the 16Kg KB, but I was resting in the down position. (My trainer pointed this out.)
* When I was using 12Kg, I didn't have to rest at all.
* I decided to only do one lap instead of 2 in the workout because I thought the other stuff was more important, and I wanted to do more. Since I can't run, it takes quite a bit longer for me to walk.
I really liked this workout a lot. It was fun, and I felt like I was really doing well.0 -

I saw this too!! I think Cameron Diaz looks great, her arms are a LITTLE too veiny for my taste though. LOL
Fran! Oh boy! Good luck!0 -
My calves are BURNING today!
First we did strength which was power cleans, I love these!!! 5-5-3-3-1 I did 65, 65, 75, 75, 80 (PR, yahoo!)
Then we did 5 rounds of:
40 double unders or 120 regular jump ropes (which I did, double unders are too much for me)

I was 30 seconds slower since my last time. I am ok with this since last time I was using the thickest band. Today I was using a lower resistance band. So its a win in my book. One day I will not need bands, I am determined :-)0 -

3 Rounds
400 M Run

Awesome on the pullup improvement!!! I, too, am determined that some day I will be able to do pullups on my own. Right now, I still struggle with the second thickest band pretty badly.0 -

Honestly you're better off doing deadhang pullups with a band (as in, use a band to support one knee and use your arms/shoulders to lift you up, no movement in your lower body at all) than kipping pullups.0 -
AMRAP for 15 as Rx'd
lunges wall to wall (10lb plate for me)
5 ring dips
10 sit ups
4 2/3 is what I completed ... I was the only one who got the Rx'd work out in the newbie class. Crossing my fingers that we can hit snatches Friday so I can complete Rx'd WODS everyday!0 -

At least yours allows bands! I just received my bands and they are "banned" from my box. I'm going to get a ceiling mount pull up bar so I can start practicing and finally get a damned pull up. The bane of my crossfit life... because any WOD with pull ups (or muscle ups/ring dips) I can't Rx0 -

I don't know why they would ban them. I think it would just be discouraging to not be able to do a pushup and not really have anything to help me do them at all.
What do you do for pull ups?0 -

Way to above RX Kerri! I would never pick doing goblet squats over air squats, let alone 44# ones.0 -

Worked on my assisted pull ups.
As you know my box doesn't allow bands, but I brought mine in to practice. Can anyone tell me how they used their bands for assisted pull ups? I thought you put your foot in it, but my trainer made me wrap it around my shoulders? Is that right? Even like that I couldn't do a pull up with the thickest black band!?0 -
