Crossfit.

I began a Crossfit Essentials class on Tuesday, May 8th at Stoneway Crossfit. Essentials includes five classes. My coach, Scott, explained that with every class, we will learn 3-4 new moves.

Day one, we learned how to:

• Squat
• Deadlift
• Overhead strict press

Day two, we learned:

• Wall balls
• Burpees
• Kettlebell swings

Day three, we learned:

• Rowing
• Overhead push press
• Box jumps

On day three, we also did our max overhead strict press.

Day four, we did Mini-Fran as our WOD (Fran is the hardest crossfit workout):

• 15 - 12 - 9
• Thrusters
• Pull-ups

We also learned our max squat.

Day five - graduation day! We learned:

• Knees 2 elbows
• Jumping pull-ups

Our WOD was "Dirty 30". 30 of each for time.

• Box jumps
  Jumping Pull-ups
  KB Swings
  Lunges
  Knees 2 Elbows
  Push Press
  Superman
  Wallball
  Burpees
  Single jump rope [90]

We also learned our max deadlift.

What I learned: I can already tell that I'm going to love crossfit. I also learned that I'm out of shape, and that I need to push myself more when I get uncomfortable. I can tell the community at Stoneway Crossfit is going to be awesome. I paid for an unlimited membership for the following month. I'm looking forward to going there!
