Friday Fitness: CrossFit

Happy Friday everyone! I'm rounding out the week on a good note: with CrossFit of course.

And, as usual, I'm sharing my workout with you. I've mentioned my trainer Shaun before - he trained me again this time (usually on Wednesdays). Shaun is a committed CrossFit-er; he competes in a lot of CrossFit competitions, so he definitely knows what he is doing.

If you check out my workout below, the hardest part for me was definitely the running portion of the workout. It really doesn't help that the run is outside on black asphalt in 100 degree heat! Haha...anything to be stronger and fitter!  


What are you doing to get active before the weekend starts? 

My Crossfit Workout

About two and a half years ago, I started CrossFit, a core strength and conditioning program that incorporates fast spurts of intense cardio and strength moves for maximum results fast (yes, I do more than swimming!). It is amazing the results I have seen, especially after I had Blaise. I tried a lot of different exercise regimans to shed the baby weight quickly, but given my time constraint as a new mom, this was the program that worked the best! 

So, after a two-month break (I still stayed active, but with traveling, I wasn't able to commit to my usual CrossFit program), I got back in the gym - GTX in Tucson, AZ - yesterday. 

Check out my CrossFit workout below and try it for yourself. If you have any questions on the moves (they are in CrossFit lingo!) or how to effectively perform them, feel free to ask.


 
What do you think of my workout? And has CrossFit worked for you too? I want to hear from you!
