Cross-Fit Day 1: I want to die!

So last night I attended my first Cross-fit class.  This class was called "On-Ramp" which is for beginners to learn the basics and ease their way into the real classes.  It is three days a week and goes on for a month,  There were two girls along with myself in the class. We had two trainers who were watching over us to make sure we had proper form.

We first did the warm up which consisted of the trainers showing us how to do proper squats, push-ups, mountain climbers, leg swings and ring pull-ups. This last about 15 minutes of actual exercise since we all screwed up various motions...like squats.  My dumb slouch killed me on those.  I had to keep my back as straight as possible and push my hips back as far as I could..GOOD TIMES.

So now the WOD (workout of the day)

200 meter run

15-12-9  (we had to do 15 reps of the following three, then 12 reps, then 9 reps)
Squats
Push-ups
Ring pull-ups (not the right wording)

200 meter run

The WOD was timed...I came in last :-(  Little did I know that the two girls have actually done it before.  I think I finish in 8 minutes...I took me a while to complete the push-ups...ugh.

The "cash out" as it is called (sort of like a cool down.....but not really).
4 minutes of:
20 seconds mountain climbers
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of sit-ups
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds mountain climbers
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of sit-ups
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds mountain climbers
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of sit-ups
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds mountain climbers
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of sit-ups

We then we outside to talk about diet...the trainer thought I was going to pass out or throw up.
I was not going to but that was as close as I have ever got to being sick from working out.  I drove home and laid on the floor for about 25 minutes WANTING TO DIE.

Cannot wait for Wednesday!
