But I went anyhow. Justin is good about listening to me when I say that something is bothering me and he keeps it in mind the next time we do whatever it might be that probably caused it...will keep an even sharper eye on me (not that he isn't standing right next to me staring at me every time anyhow!)
Today was a "kinda sorta" easy day...why? Because our workout was not timed. We (I worked out with another girl today) were given the workout and then we went at it. Justin wanted us to focus more on our technique and just getting it done...he is noticing that when things are timed, people are losing focus and not doing things right and he doesn't want injuries. We still will do timed workouts...but he wanted us all to have a break of sorts today.
On to the workout...
"Buy in" (a Cross fit term...basically means what you do before your workout...this could be learning a new technique or whatever...sometimes it will be just the warmup, though we ALWAYS do the warmup before working out)
Standard warm up - though I did "good mornings" instead of the back extensions to save my lower back from a bit of pain
Work out:
10 rounds of:
10 kettle bell swings (I used a 35lb kettle bell today)
10 kte (knees to elbows); these are done by hanging on a bar and then pulling your knees up to your elbows. I'm not quite there yet, I just raise my knees as far as I can
10 closed-hand push ups (making your thumbs and pointer fingers into a diamond...works a different muscle than regular push ups)
"Cash Out" (this is done at the end of a workout...sometimes we do one at our sessions, sometimes not...)
Today Justin had us do 2 rounds of 25 walking lunges (holding a 10lb plate straight over our heads) and then 25 sit ups. Fun stuff!
