I normally work out at studio 831 on a Tuesday and Thursday, but since my trainer over slept 😛 yesterday, we rescheduled for this morning. Warmup: 500 meter row leg kicks, kick your leg fore and aft 20 times leg side kicks, kick your leg left and right 20 times 5 inchworm push ups AMRAP:…
and why I suck at it. Lately my trainer and I have been working on lifting at studio 831. This has been very difficult for me due to injuries that I sustained in an accident in the fall of 2007. Anyhow, I started cross fit training in part to address the injuries I sustained in…
My workout today was your standard workout but I don’t feel like it was really that hard. My trainer was complaining to me that I bitch about my shoulders, elbow, etc.. I asked her not to worry about that because that pain that I go through helps me regain and maintain flexibility. I really shouldn’t…
Today I did another strength routine on the prowler, no puking this time! My trainer and I also verified the weight of the prowler we use, and its heavier than we thought. No wonder I puked last time!! We thought the prowler weighed in at ~50 lbs, but it is actually around 75 lbs… that…
First workout after almost 2 weeks off. My trainer took a vacation last week, so it has been almost 2 weeks since I last worked out with her. Looking back, hindsight says that week off was sorely needed. I needed a break from that routine. I tried to make a commitment to make this 6am…
Man… what a day. Yesterday I felt kind of tired so I went to sleep early, perhaps too early… I woke up around 3, 4, and finally at 5:30. Not beat, but not completely awake either. Either way I was excited to work out and try my new toy. At my local Fry’s electronics store I…
I was asked today what the difference between cross fit and X training is. Actually I have no idea how to answer that question. They both hurt, make you sweat a lot, and both use similar exercises. I guess the biggest difference that I notice is the structure of the workout. the focus with X…
Well today was an interesting day. Kind of a nice way to compare my fitness to some others who have been taking the X-Training class at studio 831. With the holiday coming up, my trainer had substituted and for my workout, she gave me the same routine. I came out of this work out a…
It’s about time too. I was getting a little bored with the old routine and a little frustrated with the muscle and tendon pulls that were keeping me from strength training exercises. I was looking forward to the workouts despite the sore legs. This past Saturday I ran the stairs at sea cliff beach. The…
It sucks. I was going for a one rep max on my back squat and on my last rep, I lost my balance coming out of the squat. It was kind of scary actually, I rolled forward into this portable weight bar, which didn’t stop my momentum and the barbell, the weight bar, and yours…
