Checked Out a New CrossFit Class

January 21, 2009 · Filed Under Crossfit Metro Blog, Work Out of the Day · Comment 

My local YMCA does a CrossFit-like interval training thing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and seeing as how I had to get up super early anyway, I checked out the class at 5:40 a.m. today.

WOD – Tabatas

Five rounds:

  1. tabata situps
  2. tabata deadlift high-pull with dumbbell (?)
  3. tabata mountain climb
  4. tabata thrusters
  5. tabata push-ups
(tabatas are 20 seconds on, 10 seconds recovery, for eight sequences)

Training notes

Yikes. This was tough after yesterday’s beatdown – and at 5:40 a.m. no less.

Ouch.

Went well, but the class is definitly not CrossFit and there were some serious issues with form. That being said, it was beneficial and a great workout. I might do the HQ workout this evening to stay on track.
