Yesterday, June 6th 2011, I went to Phalanx Crossfit in Sanford, NC. My friend referred me to this place and thought I should give it a try. I signed up a few days prior and attended my first class on Monday. The entire weekend my mind was brewing and all I could think was, "Am I doing the right thing?" Monday morning came and I arrived 15 minutes early. So, I sat in my car and tried to hype myself up so I could find the courage to actually walk through the front door. Well, I did. I went in and was pleasantly welcomed by my Crossfit coach, Tammy. At 0930 our session had begun and I was the only one there. We went through four basic crossfit exercises. These are the box squat, box jump, pushups and situps. Tammy showed me how to do each move and had me do a few to make sure I understood the concept. Then she told me we would do 10 of each exercise and do them in four rounds. Oh, and don't forget, this is all timed. So, do your best and push them out as fast as you can. I did the four rounds in 8 minutes. By the third round, I felt nauseous, but I didn't let it stop me. After finishing the four rounds, I was told to hydrate and go home and shower. I walked out the doors with jello like arms and legs. This showed me how out of shape I was. This is going to take time and a strong mentality to get through the first two weeks of Crossfit fundamentals. Let's hope I can do it.
