Cross-Fit Day: One Month Down

 Ok, I admit I have been lazy updating this blog but really who is reading it anyway?

I finished up one month of Cross-fit and I have to admit I saw some major changes in my strength, especially in push-ups.  I am now able to do multiple sets of 10-15 "good form" push-ups now whereas before I could only do 7-10 twice.  Last night at Cross-fit we did the very first workout to see how progressed:

-200m Run

3 rds of 15-12-9

Squats

Push-ups

Body Row

-200m Run

The first time I did it I finished in 9:39 this time I did it in 5:57.  It felt great to actually see a major improvement.

Now the fun starts, I joined the real class.  I was doing maybe 1/2 of what they were doing...this is going to get interesting!
