Local Tuggeranong Personal Trainer does the Crossfit session called ‘Isabel’

Well in my quest to get through all the foundation women of the Crossfit world, I found myself this week doing ‘Isabel’.

It consists of:

30 x 60kg snatch for time

Time: 5.35

I haven’t really had any experience or practice as yet in regards to the olympic lifts so this was a tough one for me, and I had to modify the weight to 50kg so as to stay safe.

Here is a demo of snatch technique:

I also did a 2nd attempt of a Crossfit ‘300′ workout that I had done in Nov 2009.

Here is a rundown of the session:

30kg Thrashers

pull ups

24′ Box jumps

split push ups

hanging knee raises

burpees

10kg O/H walking lunge

60kg Deadlifts

rower

Decline Push Ups

Time: 17.37 (previous time was 18.47)

Overall I was very happy with my 2nd attempt at the ‘300′ Crossfit workout. Obviously this program consists of 30 reps of each exercise (30 calories for the rower). This would not be a hard one to modify for outdoors with no equipment at all. If you are in that boat, just use your imagination with your sessions.

One thing I am finding now that I am coming back to previous Crossfit Workouts is the fact that I am busting myself to continually get better with each attempt. One of those sub-conscious mind battles to not let the fitness sessions beat and the fact that I am still quite a long way behind many of the Cross Fit times that are going around (hell, most of the girls that are doing Crossfit are flogging me with the times they are posting).
