You want me to do what?

I stumbled upon Crossfit after seeing the dramatic weight loss and muscle gain of a few friends of mine over the past few months. I figured it was because they had been training for Air Force and Navy boot camp and never really bothered to look into it. That is until I ran across a flyer for a free week of training at "Crossfit Thoroughbreds." Now if that name doesn't draw you in, the pictures of the amazing results on the flyer will. I immediately grabbed a few and headed to work determined to make someone come with me. One of my closest friends had done it before at a different gym and was sooooo down to do it again to get back into bikini shape. (We DO live in Florida, on the beach and she owns a boat. HELLO?! what other motivation do you need?) After convincing another close friend and coworker to come with us we headed out at the ass crack of dawn the following morning.

The following ensued.

Two laps around the block (equalling .5 miles)
50 supermans (don't laugh, my ass STILL hurts from these things!)
50 sit ups (crossfit style, all the way laying down, to up touching your toes)

Before you start shaking your head, we did this 3 times. After a warm up that killed us, and then finished with practicing handstand push ups, mmhmm, doing a push up, upside down in handstand form.

Needless to say, I was sore when I woke up this morning for day two. Only two of us went this morning.. Not calling anyone out but SOMEONE slept in and then took an epsom salt bath, lucky brat. We warmed up with some form of weighted PVC pipe that we had to loosen our arms up with because today, we were lifting. Today's hilarity went as follows..

Ten push ups.
Ten dead lifts with the lightest bar they had (which still killed us).
Ten burpees over a hurdle. (jumping to the floor on your stomach, push uping yourself back up and then leaping over a hurdle while clapping your hands above your head.)
Jump rope 100 times.

We did THIS lovely number five times through.

I am in pain just typing this. However, Bucket List which I plan on continuing until I am the CrossFittest Woman in the WORLD: CROSSFIT!
