Crossfit Games Open 14.1

One Month of Crossfit. 14.1 Score of 90. Couldn't be happier and more motivated!

I started 1 month ago and immediately signed up for the Open. I was disheartened last night with the announcement of Double Unders as I haven't worked on these at all yet.

I showed up this morning, warmed up and got through the DU's one at a time having to start over after each double under. I connected 2 every now and then and ultimately got a score of 90 tearing through the last 15 Snatches in 40 seconds. I wouldn't have come close without the rest of my class cheering me on. I knew the score was extremely low compared to just about anyone but I felt like I had just won the Games.

Looking forward to working on my DU's and improving.

Don't let something discourage you if you think you can't do it. I learned new things about myself today and the DU's. I know I'll have them soon!

P90X3 - Week 1 Complete

30 Minutes a day, 7 days a week! I completed 7 workouts this week and even added AB Ripper X on Sunday. 

I'm loving everything about P90X3, especially the 30 minutes part. I was very sore all week but the workouts vary enough that I was able to keep pushing and working out each day. Looking forward to Week 2 and the next 83 days.

Some Highlights from week 1

The Challenge - 100 Push-ups and 40 Pull-ups. I didn't keep exact numbers but I did at least this many push-ups and pull-ups over the 30 minutes.

The Warrior - Arms/Core/Legs - It's tough to say but I think this was my favorite workout so far.

Dynamix - I have a new favorite stretch - the Scorpion.

My wife and I just signed up for Cupid's Undie Run which is a mile run in February in your skivvies. This is some major motivation to keep the workouts and the diets very strict for the next month!

P90X3 - Week 1 "The Challenge"

January 6th, 2014 was the beginning of P90X3 for me. The fourth workout is called "The Challenge." A simple concept really but a killer of a workout. Pick a number for your pull-ups and push-ups to hit for the full 30 minutes. Here were the numbers I set.

Pull-ups - 5 | Push-ups - 15

- I can currently max out around 10 pull-ups and 30 push-ups so I thought this would be achievable. Halfway through I was only able to get to 3 or 4 pull-ups and 10 or 11 push-ups.

This will be a great workout to see progress over the next 90 days!
