jello legs
Over the last couple of weeks, I have seen these three women working out together a couple of times. One of the women is a trainer at the club. So, I met up with one of the lady's at the park early this week and we got to talking. I told her she had been working really hard the other day. So, yesterday, I get to the gym and the childcare worker Amy, says this Dacey(the lady from the park) is looking for me. Apparently, Casey, the trainer lady wasn't there and she was looking for somebody to workout with. So, we ran through this one workout. OH MY GOODNESS. I am surprise I can walk so well this morning. In my second round, during my 25 burpees, I thought my legs were going to give out. They were like jello. I hadn't felt like that since I worked out with my friend Lisa. Ahhhhh, memories. Casey the trainer girl, who actually works out with Dacey as a friend...as opposed to as a trainer, takes a lot of her stuff from this Crossfit.com. K, so I looked up this Crossfit.com and it's got some intense stuff. I think a lot of military and police type people do this. I'm not going to be doing their "workout of the day" but I am adding some new tricks to my bag. I thought I'd share, in case you were looking to change up your workout or something crazy. Today, I'm going to run on the treadmill (so I can get some speed work in, it's hard to do a lot of speed work because there are so many hills here), but I'm also bringing my jump rope to get some double unders in. Go check out what I'm talking about.

That crossfit looks like bootcamp style. I know that it is SO GOOD, but I hate it! I would love for their to be a ballroom dance class at the gym. I'm such a lightweight. And what are burpees?
They are hell. But to descibe them...okay you go to plank, down to a push up, all the way down until your chest hits the floor, then you come back up to a squating position, and then you jump up as high as you can go...that's one. And you try to do them fast. We would have fun together though, we might pee in our pants or puke I'm not sure which.
heather, now come on. are you crazy? you suggest to me crossfit? if it makes YOU feel like jello legs, i've got no business even thinking about that. yet. we're working into our workouts. some brisk walks are all i'm up for right now. i do know how excited you get though when you find some new tricks, so i'm sure you're happy. and maybe, just maybe, eventually i'll get to the point where i can bring some of those tricks into my workout. ;)
Oh BTW, I couldn't do ONE double under. I settled for doing single jumps. Those DU were HARD!
