Crossfit

So today I started a new exercise regimen. I'm competing with Marko and 100 or so other youth workers to loose weight. 3 days a week I'm going to be doing cardio, elliptical mainly for about an hour each day. I did 45 minutes of interval training this morning.

Tonight I started Crossfit. Crossfit is best known for the type of training the actors in the movie "300" did for 4 months before they shot the movie. Link. Here's my local crossfit gym. Eric the leader of the class owns it and he kicked my tail.

I was toast after the warm-up.
Which included (as best as I remember)
400m jog
thorough stretching of my whole body
10 pushups
10 abmat sit ups
10 jumping pull ups
10 body weight squats
10 Wall Balls (squats and throwing a 14 pound medicine ball 8 feet up)
10 superman
10 body weight pull ups (picture reverse pull ups while hanging from gym rings)

then for the workout we were to:
Run 400 m
30 Wall Balls
15 jumping pull ups
X3 timed

I made it through once. barely. wow.
I'm going to do this three times a week with cardio the other days.
This combined with a good diet, I hope will help me loose some weight and reach my goal.
