I've been slacking on this blo

Okay so it is June 26th, 2011. I've went to my last crossfit class on Weds June 22nd and Friday June 24th. Lets start with the June 22nd class.

June 22nd

We learned how to do Med ball cleans. This took a me a lot of tries to be able to pop my shoulders up, rotate my elbows forward, squat down and catch the med ball WITHOUT tossing the med ball. I think I was thinking too much that day. I was over analyzing the concept. We also learned how to do a few bar lifts. A sumo bar squat and another type of bar squat lift. We did 25 back squats, but I went ahead and knocked out 50. We only had a 15 lb bar.

June 24th

In fundamentals class, we went over kipping pull ups and dips. Can we say ouch?! I did well kipping and needed the assistance of the band, but I did pretty well. We went to the rings to do dips and I had a hard time jumping up and stabilizing my body so I couldn't even do the dip. The instructor went ahead and got a box we could use to help get us on the rings. We also used a band to help rebound our weight back up while dipping. After doing a few of those, our fundamentals class was over. Next was the 10am Crossfit class. WOD was 400M run , 21-15-9 med ball cleans and situps. I finished in 8:42. There was a guy who finished before me at 8:01. The rest of the class finished their WOD and I cheered them on. I want everyone to succeed. :)

Saturday, my arms were hurting bad. Right by the deltoid and bicep. Since I could flex my elbow and not feel pain in my arm, I knew it wasn't my bicep. I couldn't laterally lift my arms. They felt as if they had been cut into. ouch! Today is Sunday and I am feeling a lot better. My stomach muscles are a little sore, but it's not bad at all. I am looking forward to tomorrows exercise. :)

Overall, I am learning to love Crossfit. It's hard work and I am sore the next few days but, I think it is worth it.
