I am not sure where I get these stupid ideas.

Before I even started yesterday I was still sore from Monday’s session. I had already taken Tuesday off to recover, but in my stupidity I thought I will push through and train…. and then to top it off I decided to do two sessions with 10 a minute break in between ( not the best idea I have come up with).

Within the Cross Fit world they call each session a WOD ( workout of the day). Due to the fact that the first one only took four minutes, I thought I might squeeze a second one in.

BAD IDEA

WOD 1 was deadlifts & hand stand push ups. Three sets at 21 reps, 15 reps, 9 reps for time.

85kg Deadlift (was supposed to 105kg but I was a bit soft) 21,15, 9

Hand Stand Push Ups 21, 15, 9

Time: 4.10

Avg HR: 151

Calories: 61

WOD 2 I decided to do a 4km time trial. For those that know me know that I really SUCK at running. If you know how to work out the timing on a treadmill it has taken me over 5 minutes each kilometre, which is slow I know, but hey doing the best I can without dying here….

Time: 20.10

Avg HR: 167

Calories: 357

Wish I looked like this guy below….

In saying that this was a stupid idea I actually recovered quite well this morning, although I am still quite sore all over. Not sure what today’s training will bring???

Any way I have a couple of my Personal Training clients wanting to do a modified version of Cross Fit this morning, so I am heading off to put them through their paces ( I will be taking photos today and will post them tomorrow).

By the way I am heading off to go through the process of getting the official qualifications for Cross Fit, although you could say it is a modified version of Personal Training or Boot camp ( another name really). It is still a grey area for legal purposes like the name Boot camp is,  but I really like it and it is something that I would like to teach.

Stay tuned in the coming months for some big news from the Succeed Team in Canberra!!!
