Crossfit 13.3

By · Leave a Comment

If you are getting a tab that you know thus this week I have completed the Crossfit Filthy Fifty and my second round of 13.2 so the fact that I even dared to complete 13.3 may have been a little presumptuous of me but hey that is what Crossfit gals do right?

keep-calm-and-crossfit-on-5

So I set out to attempt workout 13.3 and to be honest… even the description of 13.3 scared me a little. Ok fine. A lot.

Yep you read that right.

  • 150 Wall Walls 
  • 90 Double-Unders
  • 30 Muscle-Ups

So if you consider that I have to master the double unders and that I can’t do a muscle up (yet!) I was just a wee-bit intimidated.

But just a wee-bit.

So I subbed in 240 singles for the 90 double unders and did a mix of pull-ups and digs for the muscle-ups and didn’t even get through 1 round BUT I tried it. Try try and try again right? That is the only way to get better!

Crossfit 13.1

By · 10 Comments

For those of you following the Crossfit Games on television or on youtube you probably watched the insanity of the 13.1 workout.

For those of you that may just be a little crazy like me, you even tried it yourself.

IT.WAS.FREAKING.HARD.

Like really hard.

But… workouts are about (safely) pushing your boundaries and challenging your mind and body to do things that you didn’t think you could do so I was up for the challenge and challenge me it did. The workout looks like this…

13.1 Crossfit Workout (Women up to 54 years old)

*If you want to see the workout broken out by gender and age click here and if you have no idea what these moves look like, click here

  • 40 Burpees
  • 45lb Snatch, 30 reps
  • 30 Burpees
  • 75 pound Snatch, 30 reps
  • 20 Burpees
  • 100lb Snatch, 30 reps
  • 10 Burpees
  • 120lb Snatch, as many reps as possible

Where did I get you may ask?

20 Burpees- HERE and I completed 18 of them

So needless to say I wasn’t really anywhere near completion but I worked my butt off and did the best I could. So was it hard?

Heck yes that is hard. If you don’t believe me go ahead and give it a try and then get back to me. Oh and remember to make sure you get at least 6 inches off the ground in your burpee from which you jumped up from being flat on the ground with your chest and hips touching the ground

And how did I feel the next day?

Well, in the morning my mom text me and my answer was…

mom text

But our phone call that evening on the way home from work sounded more like “Mom, I can barely drive my car my chest is so sore. Oh and I can’t sneeze or breathe deeply because it just aches.”

So I guess that answers that question.

So what’s next?

13.2 of course.

BRING. IT. ON.

Crossfit Workout: Victoria

By · 1 Comment

If you are in need of a serious workout I have one.

I completed this workout last Thursday at my crossfit class at CrossFit Commotion.  Friday I had trouble washing my hair. Saturday I got a massage and they could barely touch me at first. Sunday I was sore from my massage because that workout was so hard. TodayI feel great. I suppose I felt great while I was doing it and even after but sometimes it is hard to look past the sore to feel good.

Which means you had a great workout.

So I thought I would share that crazy good workout with you all!

*I added some “how-to” links on the moves below in case you are not familiar with them

Victoria

Complete 5 rounds for time.

I finished in 37 minutes along with the other 2 gals in my group.

So we didn’t run into each other we all started with burpees and then I went down the list. I thought the kettle bell swings were the hardest part but that could have been just because it was after the burpees so who knows.

GOOD LUCK! And let me know how it goes.

Also, don’t forget we have our GO RAW give-away going on now!
