Can you say ass-kicked?

As much as I have worked out the past few weeks at home - nothing compares to going to a physical gym.  I'm thinking it's because we tend to push more because we see others working out as well. Or at least I do.

To the right, you'll see yesterday's workout of the day (WOD) from (www.cavemanstrong.com) . A year ago - it would have been simple and I probably wouldn't have been sore.  However, I had a hard time with this WOD as it was my first day back.

It won't take me long to build back my muscle, power and flexibility as long as I keep working at it.   The front squat to the box - my max was 85lbs.  For the cashout - I didn't use any weight because my hips/legs are very tight and I had a hard time actually doing 15 full lunges to the ground.  Pullups - I used bands to help me - My time for the cashout was 11mins:24secs.

Move that Body

Let's review the Top 4 items on my 101 List:

These things aren't going to get accomplished unless I put it in my schedule to practice them and get better. I've been working out at home (easier with my schedule) for the last 2 weeks  - but it's just not the same as going to the gym.

I was able to fit Crossfit in 4 times this week - currently in my schedule! Anxious to get back to it and make progression toward my top 4 goals.

I will keep you updated on the workouts & my times - that way it holds me accountable too!

Just for your enjoyment - haha!:)

Crossfit WOD's

I was noticing that the first 6 items on my 101 list are directly related to being "cross fit". That being said - I will continue to update my blog with my crossfit workouts. This will allow me to keep track of my personal records and monitor any improvements or challenges that I may be experiencing (most likely due to nutrition)

I typically try to go to crossfit at least 4x per week. My last workout was on Wednesday. This was the WOD (workout of the day):

• 5-5-5-3-3-3 Deadlift

Cashout (an optional workout after regular workout)

3 rounds for time:

5 burbees
10 hollow rocks
15 box jumps

I have been 100% Paleo and experienced a personal record for Deadlift at 115lbs. My time for the cashout was 5:10. Even though I used the medium box - the cashout killed me!

My Paleo/Crossfit Story

Tyler, the owner of Cornwall Crossfit (http://www.cornwallcrossfit.com/) asked me to write a little something about my Paleo / Crossfit experience.

He posted my story on his website. READ HERE. He wanted me to highlight what I have been doing since the New Year.
