Friday’s Flow

Warm Up:     Coaches Choice

Mobility:       8 Min

WOD: TRIO

– 500M Row
– 40 Air Squats
-30 Sit Ups
-20 Push-ups
-10 Pull-ups

500 Meters didn’t seem like much.  Ha! Ha! I was very wrong!  Only after the first round, my legs felt like rubber bands.  As I moved on to the air squats my thighs were on fire! I reminded myself that the burn nets results– I listened to the music, found my rhythm and kept getting them in.

I forgot to record my time on my cell phone, but if I remember correctly, I completed the WOD in 13:36.  This was my best today, but I would like to try this WOD again on a different day–preferably in the morning. I’m certain I can do better.

Overall this was a good ending to a long work week. Next week I’ll return to CrossFit, but look forward to running this weekend.

Sweet dreams!

    I got stuck on the 20 push ups lol I can only do 3 full ones with my extra weight and sore elbow 😦 Since I have been dancing an hour a day consistently, I am going to believe it is muscle weight 😀 Keep posting!

      To complete the 20 push ups, I stop and restart, so don’t be too hard on yourself. An hour of dancing is a serious workout. And yes, muscle “is” weight!! On Monday, I took an intense spin class…. It was intense. I loved every minute of it. Have a fabulous day ! ;))
